I love Nix even if the learning curve is STEEP.
Like you, I've replaced Homebrew with nix and home-manager.
I've also had a bit of fun spinning up full desktop environments with NixOS inside virtual machines and though it took far longer than I thought to get it going to start with, I've now got a good foundation and am super happy with it.
I'm working up to trying out nix-darwin. Think I'll start out with a MacOS VM first just in case I butcher it.
I would love to roll out my
nix-darwin
too, but I'm on a crappy 256gb macbook and xcode + android studio took most of it. Guess I have to experiment on the real desktop rather than macOS VM
