I know that if using flakes nix shell
is the right command. But I just want to know that is it normal for legacy commands to not work like that one? nix-env works tho.
-
One thing to note is that, what I am doing temporarily is running it using this
nix shell nixpkgs#nix-info
nix-info
- And the output value is this
- system: `"x86_64-linux"`
- host os: `Linux 6.1.86, NixOS, 23.11 (Tapir), 23.11.20240417.e402c3e`
- multi-user?: `no`
- sandbox: `yes`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.18.1`
- nixpkgs: `not found`
-
Notice the nixpkgs:
not found
, This is also weird to me. -
logs ->

Actually this happened. I just read this issue https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs/pull/73
