Roger, I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Do you mean that the user's configuration would explicitly say "include pkgs.someAlternateGitVersion in my profile, but rename /bin/git to /bin/gitB"? As a starting point, I guess you could do that manually by making a new expression with a build script

Once I wondered if using reflinks instead of hardlinks might be better from some point of view, but it probably won't be a big difference. I would really like to see reflinks being used instead of hard links on filesystems that support it. Hard linking is an impurity which can cause bugs, as

Sorry, still no idea. I'm using LUKS but not with LVM, and I don't have this problem. Is anyone else using LVM over LUKS? Is there something strange about Nikit's configuration? Maybe there is some way to record all the commands that are run on boot and figure out which nixos expressions are
