Quick installation of Lix + Homemanager
Lix is a community-driven fork of the Nix package manager that offers several technical,
and organizational improvements over upstream Nix while maintaining full backward compatibility.
It has has implemented various optimizations that reduce build times,
increase the parsing performance and error messages compared to upstream Nix,
enhances the debugging workflow, and uses Meson as its build system instead of plain Make.
Also, it incrementally introduces Rust to the codebase, and stays fully backwards compatible. 🙂
