The Nix commands people need, under plain names.

SnapOS is a bridge from Debian-based distros to NixOS. This release puts the everyday Nix commands behind snapos:

  • Programs: snapos find, snapos add, snapos remove, snapos list; snapos shell and snapos try use a program without installing it.
  • Changes: snapos diff shows what a rebuild would change; snapos rebuild --next-boot applies a change at the next start only; snapos rebuild --trace shows the full error; snapos log shows the last rebuild again.
  • Going back and disk space: snapos rollback, snapos generations, snapos gc.
  • nix-env -i is stopped with an explanation and the SnapOS way.
  • snapos help maps the apt habits to their SnapOS names, and the README shows the Nix command behind each one.

Everything from 2.3.1 stays: x86_64 and ARM64 images, package updates between releases, the unattended install, four desktops, SnapGuard in real time, the Debian layer.
