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 table is overly long and requires scrolling left and right, not sure how to make the page show it all without the need for scrolling --Makefu (talk) 22:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm sure it's a bit early to convert this to use the new `nix` command but wanted to get a sense of when people think a good time for that would be. Perhaps we could start building the content on another page now, linked from this one? --Abrooks (talk) 17:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
