Pre 0.46.x it was possible to run Cursor on NixOS without much effort, just needed to download the artifact and automatically patch it for NixOS. Post 0.46.x it has both become harder to find the artifact URL, and the format of the artifact has changed making it no longer possible to patch for NixOS.
This change means I can no longer update to new Cursor versions and I may need to convince my company to switch to another provider such as W I N D SRF (forum censors the word) which has compatability with NixOS.
The maintainer of the Cursor NixOS package has reached out to Cursor support but has been ignored, my only assumption is that the Cursor support email is forwarded into /dev/null as that is the same experience our company has had, but that is a different problem.
