I have been using this repo as my daily driver for a month:

* The author is quite responsive to personal messages or issues / pull requests. * The people who fork it and change a thing or two are champions, they play with adding rust compilation to the kernel, suspend, gpu drivers all before it is added to this repo. * Once you get to just NixOS, and you tweak your editor, battery monitor, etc. It is pretty hard to switch back. Nix is hard to get right, but when you get it right, it stays that way. * I still boot back to OSX every two days when I have to share screen on Microsoft Teams or do a work thing. Takes two minutes to switch to the dark side and then a few days to remember to go back to Linux. Super polished and compatible dev machine vs fast linux on M1 with sane development environment is a great combo.

Do you run Nix on the macOS side? How would you summarize your experience? Is it worth investing time/effort into it, considering you're also using NixOS?

You might as well also run Nix on macOS as well and extract out the common parts of your config (selection of CLI software, at least), right? I'd do that even if macOS was just a seldom-used 'backup OS'.

I do run nix on the macos side, for graphics apps like a browser I would not recommend. But for command line apps like interpreters, compilers and vim-like editors it is really useful imho.
