There is currently a bug where yazi crashes since it tries to create
directories but is unable to due to being managed at the system level.
There is an open PR in nixpkgs, however it's been 3 weeks and it hasn't
been merged yet.
This is a part of making it easier to instantly have access to yazi
without having to worry about using home-manager. Note that this works
for my use case since I don't use Nix on non-NixOS devices and don't
intend to do so anytime soon.
After almost a year of using joshuto, I have decided to switch to yazi.
The latest joshuto update broke my image preview configuration, and it
didn't make sense trying to figure out the issue with yazi already
having built-in image support and more.
Other notable improvements from this change include:
- Simplified configuration since defaults no longer have to be
re-declared
- Faster directory loading, especially for /nix/store/ and symlinks to
/nix/store/
- Text files are more likely to show previews without manual
configuration
- Videos now have working previews again, similar to ranger
