Dlsclaimer: noob.
Curious what's the difference between glove80-zmk-config using Nix toolchain and glove80-zmk-config-west? Obviously the latter uses west
toolchain but beyond that how would you determine which to use (even if it simply comes down to differences in toolchains if all else is equal)?
For example, ZMK/Zephyr uses west
but AFAIK this repo is the official ZMK config repo for the Glove80. Is there any advantages to using west
assuming firmware is built via Docker (I assume if built locally/natively sticking with the "unofficial" glove80-zmk-config-west reduces dependencies on the system). I would also think the other glove80-zmk-config-west repo using the same toolchain as ZMK might be better served as the default "official" repo? But it seems this repo is clearly more popular based on the stars count on the repo.
I assume you don't need to use NixOS to use Nix toolchain--are there any benefits to preferring Nix over west?
I realize it ultimately doesn't matter which toolchains you use as they both build the same thing and also a lot of this is probably opinionated--I'm just hoping to learn.
