You know, immutable enterprise systems.

I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.

The script needs a recent python which is not available there.

Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?

    I tried to get install instructions for home-manager and they only had them if you are already on nix?

    I didnt get it

      I’d try installing just regular nix (package manager, not operating system) rather than home manager, that’s what I do on by Debian pi

      There’s an install script on their website that does it all for you

      Careful, there’s three different terms in the mix here:

      NixOS: an entire operating system, you don’t need this.

      nix: the nix package manager. This is what you’ll need to install. look for single user install in the instructions.

      home-manager: a module for nix. It’s aim is to allow declarative configuration of a users’ home configuration (and allow easier per-user install of packages on a global nix install).

      If you want to go down the nix route, which I would recommend if you enjoy tinkering and having fine control over your system, you should start with installing nix. With that, you can already setup a shell that has the newest version of python available.

      Going beyond that, I can link you some more resources, if you want c:
