README: Remove the pills ( #4181 )
...
This removes the Nix Pills reference, because they are not a good
introduction to the Nix ecosystem, but rather a thorough explanation
of many disparate things. Reading through them might give some light
bulb moments for an intermediate reader, but that does not mean that
they're good for a beginner.
I've also removed the mention of infinite recursion without source
location. That's an old meme for a problem that has been mostly
solved. Mentioning it here has two effects:
- Propagate the outdated meme.
- Make users insensitive to bad errors. Learned helplessness. That
kind of thing. What we really want is for them to report bad error
messages, so that they can be fixed. And they can be fixed; just
report them at `NixOS/nix`.

The docs implied that fish was not really supported, but if fish is

the session-vars file. Update the installation instructions and FAQ to
mention that fish does work, and mention fenv in the README.

home-manager: use nix-env to list generations
...
Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the
benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do
not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions.
Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step
of the installation instructions.
