What is chaotic-nyx?
Chaotic's Nyx was a Nix flake that provided access to bleeding-edge and unreleased software packages for NixOS, such as development versions of Mesa, Linux kernels, Firefox, Sway, and Gamescope. It aimed to serve users who needed the latest experimental features and modules not yet available in stable NixOS channels. The project also included experimental system modules like HDR support and DuckDNS integration.
NixOS enthusiasts, developers, and advanced users who require the latest unreleased software versions and are comfortable with potential instability from bleeding-edge packages.
Developers chose Nyx for its curated collection of highly experimental packages and modules, maintained by the reputable Chaotic Linux User Group, which allowed early access to cutting-edge features unavailable elsewhere in the Nix ecosystem.
