fedora
Calendar Grey May 14, 2026
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The Fedora 43 update for nix 2.31.5 addresses high and moderate security issues effectively.
update to 2.31.5: fixes high GHSA-vh5x-56v6-4368 and moderate GHSA- gr92-w2r5-qw5p https://discourse.nixos.org/t/security-advisory-local-privilege-escalation-in- lix-and-nix/77407 ...

Summary

Nix is a purely functional package manager.

It allows multiple versions of a package to be installed side-by-side,

ensures that dependency specifications are complete,

supports atomic upgrades and rollbacks,

allows non-root users to install software, and has many other features.

It is the basis of the NixOS Linux distribution,

but it can be used equally well under other Unix systems.

See the README.fedora.md file for setup instructions.
