i use arch (btw), and i hate how much i depend on the AUR, its very unstable. I switched to flatpak for my gui programs since the cli experience sucks. nix on the other hand works like a native package manager, and thats great for me. but i see that nix also includes stuff like coreutils (because of nixos im guessing). do i install everything with nix? if not what packages do i install with pacman and which with nix?

    when you say fully isolated from the Arch libs on the system, means I have all dependencies of the installed programs doubled on my system - only if needed of course. so they can’t share the same liberates already provided by the Arch/base system?
