A new Nix store implementation \u2014 local-overlay \u2014 that lets you create a writable layer over another underlying store.\n\nNix has various different store implementations. For example the daemon store, which provides store access to unprivileged users on multiuser systems.\n\nSome caveats apply, but the new local-overlay store lets you combine an existing lower store with an upper layer, similar to the Linux Overlay Filesystem. Anything in the lower store will be accessible via the overlay store, while modifying the overlay store will only change the upper layer and leave the lower store untouched.\nabout this event: https://talks.nixcon.org/nixcon-2023/talk/GXW3EX/
