What Redditors Are Saying
"## **TL;DR:** Any Nix builds on Linux (Darwin is fine) can escalate to root if running on a multi-user installation (default on NixOS and the recommended installation method, if `/etc/passwd` has a bunch of `nixbld` users, it's a multi-user installation)."
"I think domen put it best... This is a very unfortunate blow to CppNix."
"A week ago, I wrote a flake for Helium and thought I'd share. It has support for policies, preferences and extensions."
"Old and unofficial wiki at [nixos.wiki](https://nixos.wiki) is superceded by new and official one at [wiki.nixos.org](https://wiki.nixos.org)."
"I've been using NixOS for about 1.5 years now and I can't really go back to other distros."
"Ever since I updated to kernel 7 I think it was, I haven't had the regular *<< NixOS Stage 1>>* and *<< NixOS Stage 2>>* boot process?"
