#nix certainly looks like a pretty cool package manager, but I can't use it because I don't have #systemd if only there was a way to use it without it maybe there is I shall google it or duck duck go it or whatever it

nix doesn’t require systemd. I’ve used it on macos, windows, and non-systemd linux distros
I thought it did. When one time I tried to run the installer it said I needed systemd all right? Well I guess I'll try it again on void Linux
It might utilize it to run the daemon in the presence of systemd ? But macos doesn’t use systemd obviously and installs itself as a launcher thing.
systemd is used extensively on nixos though which may be contributing to the confusion.
All right, I figured it out I can just do a single user install
