What’s the difference? No matter how hard I look, most of their websites just consist of them advertising that they are immutable.

      One of my favorite apps actually wasn’t in nixpkgs (don’t worry, I fixed that). But I was pretty surprised to learn that it wasn’t there.

      I’d say what it is, but I’d be doxxing myself.

      Well true but that ain’t native.

      Also, great exemple: blender launcher. I work with multiple versions of blenders, and it’s a must have.

        If you’d prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

        All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

        Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey
