@irfan@sakurajima.social on Fedora cosmic, you can install nix with graphical stuff, and widgets with home manager, although it's very recent and I haven't gotten a chance to test it out that much.

So in theory you definitely could, probably take a little bit of experimenting. The best way would just have it baked into the image already, easily turned on by a system deamon.

@Rerum@mastodon.social yea i reckon u cld figure out a way of making it work, tho i suppose by default it wouldn’t since things are installed to /nix and dat wouldn’t be in the system’s path or wtv? so if ure installing some CLI tool u’d use from the terminal urself, ure good since it’ll be in ur shell’s path and u can run it - but for things like drivers etc. OOTB i imagine they wouldn’t be recognised to be available on the system. if that makes sense. for example, if someone using an immutable system like SteamOS, and the distro lacks a certain driver, even if they cld install it using Nix - i think it wouldn’t work?
