Phase 2: Software Migration Plan & Mapping (Filled)
Objective: To create a clear mapping from currently installed software (via APT and Snap) to their equivalents in the NixOS ecosystem. This list will directly inform the creation of the configuration.nix file.

Plan for Other Packages
- System Libraries: The vast majority of packages listed in the log are system libraries (files ending in
...:amd64,...-dev,lib...). These will be managed automatically by NixOS as dependencies for the applications you choose to install. You do not need to list them manually. - Snap Packages: All applications installed via
snapwill need to be replaced with their NixOS/Flathub equivalents. NixOS does not support Snap out of the box. The list above includes the most important ones. - De-duplication: Many packages are related (e.g.,
g++,gcc,cpp). In NixOS, installing thegccpackage will provide the necessary toolchain.
Next Step: Use this document as a worksheet to build the environment.systemPackages list in the configuration.nix file.
