On: My First Impressions of Nix

[lenova]

Coincidentally I came across Fleek this morning, which appears to be a simplified Nix abstraction?

(fleek author here) Fleek is a simplified wrapper around Nix Home-Manager, which is used to install and configure the apps that make up your $HOME and shell environment.

This is what I love about Hacker News: post about a random tool I found, and the author shows up! :-)

I came across your blog (and from that, Fleek) as I'm rebuilding my home WSL setup, and I just want a simple way to destroy and rebuild my distros and move my installed apps easily. Would Fleek be a good use-case for this?

very much so, that's how I use it. Especially if you want your dotfiles/configs to come with it.
