we are talking about asahi linux. i think it is pretty clear that nixos isn’t supported like a first class citizen because you have to do a fair bit of work to make all of the more recent userspace fixes work on NixOS. i run NixOS Asahi so I know.

it was easier when Arch was a first class citizen but the advice nowadays you get upon encountering a problem on Arch is to switch to Fedora

Perhaps if the NixOS folks want better support they should invest more time in keeping up with Asahi Fedora?

The developers can use what they want. Marcan famously used Gentoo for many years

Is it fundamentally different from any other Nix packaging work in some way?
