From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dont. uBlue also switched away from it.
My question is, how do I remove it again?
Removing nix is mostly done by deleting /nix, and removing some systemd services, as well as deleting some nix-related users or groups (iirc nixblkd)
Because almost all of nix happens in /nix it doesn't clutter much of the system.
/nix doesnt work on Fedora Atomic, thats the thing. So it has to be somewhere else.
I still have dozens of strange Nix users left
Why does it work on my machine? I'm on silverblue
Dont know how they solve it, but /nix is not possible.
Maybe in /var/nix and symlinked or mounted to /nix
Yes, that's likely the case.
The ahayzen/silverblue-nix guide uses bind mounts from
/var/lib/nix
to/nix
. The latter being created by making/
temporarily writeable withchattr +i /
