Nix and Arch

I really enjoy Arch Linux's rolling-release model and the flexibility to test packages temporarily. At the same time, I appreciate Nix's reproducibility and the ability to maintain consistent setups.

Has anyone tried running Nix inside Arch? If so:

  • What are the pros and cons of this setup?
  • Does it offer the best of both worlds, or does it introduce complications?

I'd love to hear about your experiences or any advice before diving in!
