minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoWoah nice! We need this to be used on more systems. I’d love to see this applied to more traditional immutable Linux - Bazzite in particular should benefit immensely.

I see zfs mentioned and custom optimisation flags, but those seem pretty easy to do in nixpkgs. I didn’t look at the patches. I guess the binary cache is nice if you want that specific kernel config.
