HN discussionThank you for the detailed and informative answer. Sorry for my cocky style, I am by no means knowledgeable on flatpak and I passed judgement prematurely. Nonetheless, I have some questions, comments: > Nix doesn’t guarantee binary reproducibility Yeah, it’s true, but no general build tool can, since language build tools themselves are usually non-deterministic. > For example, Flatpak guarantees atomic updates with…
