       a few people in the replies are asking why someone might want to use nix as an OS / to manage your python packages / to manage your config files.does anyone want to share their reasons for doing those things? I don't really know.(please give examples of some specific problems Nix solves for you and what you like about it, don't just say "it's reproducible/declarative” :) )

       @tachi @b0rkso I’m a big believer of just reaching for home-manager for dotfiles, as it doesn’t need NixOS, also works on MacOS (to some extent), and doesn’t require flakes out of the box (but is compatible with them!). It does work best with SystemD distributions though!It’s a big leap for sure, but home-manager doesn’t require an all-at-once migration by any means, and should be relatively simple to get going once nix is installed.
