Doesn't Nix ship its own version of every library dependency rather than using system libraries?

0 comments

Nix allows each package to use a specific version of a library and let's them co-exist via unique paths.

In NixOS the whole system works this way, so there aren't really any global system libraries, except for the graphics system.

NixOS is the only sane Linux distro on the planet now. At the end of the day every distro wants their own app store.
