I switched from Nixos to void Linux. Here's my experience so far.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good question. NUR doesn't seem to output the packages directly, but requires that you supply your
pkgs
manually. You can usenix shell
with NUR, but it gets rather ugly:nix registry
doesn't help here, as it's just for managing aliases that allow you to type "nixpkgs" instead of "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-23.05" in some places.It might be possible to write a flake that outputs NUR packages for direct use, e.g. something like:
Which gives:
But needs some more work and might be reinventing the wheel. Haven't used NUR myself and no idea what the state of flakes in NUR is.
