How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

I’m currently on a atomic distro, so how I get my software from favorite to least favorite is this:

  1. Flatpak
  2. Appimage
  3. Fedora distrobox
  4. rpm-ostree

Nix is cool but also incredibly painful

I use nix package manager on fedora silverblue. It's awesome.

It just is overly complex. Nix has its own environment instead of just being a regular package manager.

As it should be, don't do that.

Doctor, when I do this it hurts...

Also, you're creating a disk image...

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago

It is. I also wonder if there was a model that accomplishes the same thing but with less image copying.

Like, make snapshots every day, but manual installs are not snapshotted but still tracked with ostree. So you can revert them, display them transparently etc.

finally, somebody in this thread who doesn't live in the past.

System package manager is for system binaries. Not for applications.
