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."
"The moon and the earth are 8k images taken from nasa which are called "equirectangular textures" and can be perfectly wrapped around a sphere **Details:** \- Music: LONOWN - addiction \- WM: Hyprland \- All widgets: quickshell \- OS: NixOS"
"Old and unofficial wiki at [nixos.wiki](https://nixos.wiki) is superceded by new and official one at [wiki.nixos.org](https://wiki.nixos.org)."
"NixOS + Hyprland for coding, browsing, and watching videos."
"I just wanted to spread the good word for [Sone](https://github.com/lullabyX/sone), a native linux app for Tidal, now being in nixpkgs. I am in no way affiliated with the app, just a really happy camper now that I can finally fully use what Tidal offers in a native app."
