I’ve been hopping around Gentoo and Void the past few days with musl on both, and I’ll be going back to NixOS in a bit due to not having enough time to set up either of them. I’ve realised how little RAM either systems use on musl, though, and I was wondering if there is any chance of replacing glibc with musl on NixOS?
You must log in or register to comment.
Nixpkgs includes packages compiled for musl under the
pkgsMusl
prefix. For example,pkgs.pkgsMusl.hello
. IIUC these only exist on a Linux system.Maybe you can use those packages for everything by setting
pkgsMusl
as your package set. For example if you are using Home Manager with a flake config you normally have a line like,let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
Maybe you could change that to
let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}.pkgsMusl;
