   The #nix installer does not work with #selinux enforcing ... :fedora:
   And you have to install it by running a script from the internet ... no package

   Too little is being done to allow people to actually install #nix safely and easily

     @Joe_0237 The Guix installer ideally should work with SELinux enforcement enabled I reckon.
     
     It's like NixOS, but not proprietary.

     @Suiseiseki does the nix package manager contain any non-free component or backend? Or are you referring to the problematic mixing of free and non-free software in the "main" repository nixpkgs
