From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't need to add mcfly bash integration to your .bashrc manually. Remove it from home.packages and instead enable the home-manager module with programs.mcfly.enable = true;. That's all you need to do, it has a enableBashIntegration setting that's true by default. Same for atuin, programs.atuin.enable = true; is enough.

It's an habit you have to learn when switching to nix, check first if there is a module for the program you want to install before resorting to home.packages or environment.systemPackages.

I thought that I've already replied but apparently not... Thanks for this. I did not realize it's this simple. Looks like I've found one of the many instances where I can make this work differently while it may not be optimal to do so :)
