Anything else?

Since nixpkgs is purging their Issues atp. I'll give these a shot when I find some time. I'm nowhere near an expert in Nix, but I have a slight understanding.

I totally get how tough it is to keep such a huge repo running—hats off to everyone involved. Still, seeing more maintainers step away lately really highlights the strain. It's a shame, and I hope the community finds a sustainable path forward.

I created this repo so I can explore things on my own terms and feel a little more free within the Nix community - without stepping on anyone's toes.

This is not a repository for tvix, or any other nix-like project. This is simply for Nix & NixOS, but @ my pace and for mainly just me (for now?).

Here are the few Issues that were recently closed that I was following:
