Using Nix to build development environments as you always wanted
FOSS4G 2023

This talk is going to reveal the secret of building and running development or user environments as you always wanted. Each of your projects can run in isolated, fully self contained environment, using the latest, or really old, or heavily customized geospatial packages regardless of Linux distro or Mac version you use. You can have as many environments as you want, and the environment will change as you change between your projects, branches or commits. No, we are not going to run containers, Flatpaks of Snaps for that. We are going to enjoy the most advanced package manager [Nix](https://nixos.org/), the largest collection of software in the world called [Nix packages (nixpkgs)](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs), unique tooling they provide and [Geonix](https://github.com/imincik/geonix) [Devenv](https://devenv.sh/) projects built on top of that.
