This may be an unusual thing but I realised that use nix run a lot instead of putting the package in my nixos configuration. It’s often on packages I run at most once every 3 days
Am I the only one that does that?

I use
nix-shell -pfor infrequently used commands, or nix shell flake#packagename for flakes. I prefer the shell environment because I rarely need to run something only one in a session. Usually I forget the cli arguments, and then have to run--helpand so on.For anything I need more frequently, I usually install either via home manager if I care about a specific/newer version, or just as a system package (I don’t use NixOS).
