The one thing I do not like about the Nix package manager (and a fix for it)

1

SurrealDB

In this article, I'll show you how you can create a binary package for your desired program. I wanted to download the SurrealDB package, but the package on nix was a source package, meaning that I had to spend over 50 minutes waiting for a stupid package to compile.

NixOS

The nix package manager is an awesome package manager for linux and macos, which focuses on declarative packages. This means that you can dump out all the packages you want into a file, and nix will go out and fetch them for you.
