Hysen Labsnyx
Nix flake for "too much bleeding-edge" and unreleased packages (e.g., mesa_git, linux_cachyos, firefox_nightly, sway_git, gamescope_git). And experimental modules (e.g., HDR, duckdns).
Chaotic's Nyx
A Nix flake providing bleeding edge and unreleased packages such as mesa_git, linux_cachyos and firefox_nightly, plus experimental modules, from the Chaotic LUG.
What it is
Chaotic's Nyx is a Nix flake for too much bleeding edge and unreleased packages, including mesa_git, linux_cachyos, firefox_nightly, sway_git and gamescope_git, along with experimental modules such as HDR and duckdns. It is maintained by the Chaotic Linux User Group, the same group that maintains Chaotic-AUR, and the README announces a revival after a period of inactivity.
Usage
The recommended integration on NixOS unstable is via Flakes: add the chaotic input pointing at github:chaotic-cx/nyx/nyxpkgs-unstable and include chaotic.nixosModules.default in the configuration, then enable packages like lan-mouse_git or options like chaotic.mesa-git.enable. The README also documents Home Manager use, running packages without installing, binary cache notes, FlakeHub notes, CachyOS notes and read only pkgs handling. On NixOS stable the compatibility is limited and the README states it is not compatible with NixOS 25.05 and older stable channels.
Support channels
The project asks users to avoid posting issues in NixOS's own Matrix, Discourse or Discord and instead use the repository issues, a Telegram group, or a Matrix room. News is posted on a Telegram channel. The README is written in an informal community tone and the project is licensed MIT.
Editorial conclusion
Chaotic's Nyx is MIT licensed and reported seven hundred forty six stars at indexing, and the README describes it as a return after a period of being inactive.
