About NixManager

===========================================
NOTE: you may want to be patient with the installation process, not as long as Libertine (by order of magnitude) but will take a couple of minutes on a weaker phone.
===========================================
NixManager brings the stability and power of nix/home-manager to Ubuntu Touch. It uses a purely functional package manager that installs software in isolation, eliminating dependency conflicts and ensuring system integrity. Every installation or update creates a new system generation, allowing for instant, bulletproof rollbacks if issues arise. NixManager simplifies this complex system, offering easy channel (repository) management and access to a vast array of packages through both local and Nixhub API searches.

The core benefits of using nix/home-manager (via NixManager) are:

1. Guaranteed Stability: No more dependency conflicts.
2. System-Wide Rollbacks: Instantly revert package changes via system generations, though applying an unchanged home.nix configuration will redeploy the same settings.
3. Easy Package Access: Search and install thousands of tools quickly.
4. Reproducibility: Manage user settings declaratively with home-manager.
