There was a problem hiding this comment.
Even this wording suggests that it's still optional. Any ideas for better description? As it's not only speeds up the installation, but is actually required.

TL;DR the installation of
cachixis required at least for Mac with Apple Silicon chip.I'm new to all this
nixecosystem. And tried to follow the getting started guide.On the second step, I followed the link for Cachix and got an impression that it's a paid product. At the same time the step saying "Recommended" suggests that it's optional.
So I though it's some sort of an advertisement of the product, and thought that I might get back to it later when I'm more comfortable with the tool and want to pay for extra superpowers 馃檪
Apparently it failed and folks in Discord suggested that the step is required and I should not worry about it, as only users who fill the cache are paying, for the rest it's free 馃檶馃徎
