There should be no reason to use this package as it's a remnant of
non-modular X. Chances are you do not want every single library it
used to pull in:
freetype fontconfig xorg.xorgproto xorg.libX11 xorg.libXt
xorg.libXft xorg.libXext xorg.libSM xorg.libICE
Just pick the ones you really need instead.
`nixpkgs` does not have any users of `xlibsWrapper`.
Closes: NixOS#194054

# Objective `xlibsWrapper` is being deprecated: NixOS/nixpkgs#194054, this pr removes the deprecated xlibsWrapper and makes a couple more improvements ## Solution - rename NixOS to Nix since this is not specific to NixOS - remove usage of `xlibsWrapper` - add instructions for nix flakes with `nix develop` - add example of a packaged bevy program in nixpkgs - minor cosmetic/grammatical changes

`xlibsWrapper` was a transitional package to move from monolithic xorg package to modules. `nixpkgs` `python3Packages.pycairo` already removed `pkgs.xlibsWrapper`. This change follow the same change. Bug: NixOS/nixpkgs#194054 Closes: nix-community#863

In #194044 I noticed unusual behaviour of
xlibsWrapperwhenxorgis overridden. That PR handles override part.But I think
xlibsWrappershould just disappear. Where should be no reason (for example) forpulseaudioto depend onfreetypeat build time.xlibsWrapperis just the wrapper around a few libraries. Quotingpkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:Mechanically we can replace
xlibsWrapperwith the list of packages it provides. Even better would be to audit needed libraries for each user and use only a subset of them.Example fix:
