If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.
nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.
Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.
Just gonna leave this here
Yes
And even if you do live there.

Linux@programming.dev•The state of Linux music players in 2026
3·2 months agormpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.
You mean, spend 4-6 days tearing your hair out, before landing on a solution which evaluates to literally the same output as your current version, but is 10% cleaner and more elegant?
Of course you do, after all, that satisfies that itch. Well. For a while, anyways…
Oh please. Be real. Are you sure there’s nothing in your flake to refactor or modularize? :)

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I Am starting to actually get somewhat comfortable using emacs
111·4 months agoYeah no thanks. Linting, formatting, LSP integration, Treesitter,… are just kind of essential for programming work. And the advantage of nvim/emacs/… is that you can bend them to your will and preferences.
If you just want to edit some config files, sure, use literally anything. But I need something proper for work, and if I already set all of that up, might as well use it for the config files, too.

Universal Android Debloater.
It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.
I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

Neovim, configured entirely through nixvim. I always liked neovim, but it’s never been as incredibly stable as now with nixvim.
Main/only IDE both in private and at work. Can’t ever go back, muscle memory has ensured that.
