  • “given the same source code, build environment and build instructions, any party can recreate bit-by-bit identical copies of all specified artifacts”

    NixOS does not guarantee bit-by-bit identical results. NixOS hashes the inputs and provides a reproducible build environment but this does not necessarily mean the artifacts are identical.

    E.g. if a build somehow includes a timestamp, each build will have a different checksum.












  • Yes, ~/.local/share/flatpak includes all user installed flatpaks, while /var/lib/flatpak includes all system wide installed flatpaks. Both include repository information and required runtimes (i.e. dependencies).

    This does not include user data, which is stored in ~/.var/app.

    Make sure to test your backup just in case on another system/VM.
