So what is this about?

Why would NixOS need a fork? Something happened in the community?

I’m already using LocalSend and Syncthing to transfer files between devices (they work great!) But this was more meant as a question how to share files between the jellyfin user and my own local user on the same device. I want to avoid copying the files with syncthing or rsync.

I suppose the best option is to make a new folder somewhere on my computer and set the ownership to a user group. Then put my local user and the jellyfin user in that group so they can both access this folder.

And possibly symlink the folder to my home folder for easy access.

But I feel like I’m making it more complicated than it could be.

Same here.

Went straight from arch to nixos. Using nix-shell a lot for testing things or setting up dev environments.

I also don’t use flakes or home-manager at the moment. I feel like just a regular configuration (split up in multiple .nix files) keeps everything very simple and works perfectly for me.

A primate on it’s way to discover NixOs superiority?
