Am I ok to add a big caveat to the `nix-env -iA` example, stating that it should not be used? I've just run into my umphteenth case of "user confused by package not updating because they installed it into their profile", and I suspect a lot of this usage comes from people finding this cheat sheet: [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/test-locally-changed-package-that-is-used-by-a-systemd-service/18408/9 https://discourse.nixos.org/t/test-locally-changed-package-that-is-used-by-a-systemd-service/18408/9] --[[User:TLATER|TLATER]] ([[User talk:TLATER|talk]]) 11:19, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

The search commands don't really work. Most things that can be installed will not be listed by these commands.

The 7 July edit to "move comparison table to Ubuntu vs. NixOS" has removed almost all the utility of this page for me. There is now almost no difference between this page and a dozen other "I assume you already know NixOS so..." pages that are out there, including the official manual. Is there any particular reason why that was moved? [[User:Cynic|Cynic]] ([[User talk:Cynic|talk]])
