I’m a beginner/intermediate in NixOS and my flake rebuild takes about 25 seconds to be finished. Most of the time is evaluating derivation for some reason and it’s getting kinda frustrating having to wait when I want to add a package to my config. Has anyone the same problem or is it normal that it takes this long in Nix?
@Tomkoid Depends on the system :)
I usually experiment with new software using nix-shell or similar, both because it’s easy to roll-back and it doesn’t take a lot of time to add a package this way, once happy I put the config in my main nix conf.
I do agree it can sometimes be a bit cumbersome to do multiple rebuilds to get things just right.
