This isn’t just a fork of Nix—this is the work of a team of 10+ people near-constantly since early February. (Technically, us too — but our task is really just enabling others.)

Some serious work has gone into ensuring it improves on upstream without having the regressions that have plagued them last three major versions!

And, since this will matter to some — it’s not a project of the NixOS foundation, but an independent organization that takes its responsibility to its community seriously.

    I think that’s backwards. Lix is a replacement for the nix package manager, while aux is a replacement for NixOS.

    Aux looks like it will now use Lix for it’s package manager, instead of trying to make its own fork of nix.
