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?

Ah for these tools I went full all in on home manager! But nothing wrong with a nix run if it works!

I never tried flatpacks on nixos, curious idea! Might solve the one or other flake hack I have :D thanks!

Personally I find home manager really hard to use. The documentation is really bad, and I never find what want... Nor what's possible. I don't use it because I don't want to, just I don't know how to

It was that or spaghetti an override and compile krita from scratch. So I chose the lazy way
