Do you use nix run often? (lemmy.world)

This may be an unusual thing but I realised that use nix run a lot instead of putting the package in my nixos configuration. It's often on packages I run at most once every 3 days

Am I the only one that does that?

I do this and then regret it when I'm on my laptop using slow WiFi and have to dowload 1g of stuff to run freecad or Krita or something
