> Can you give an example of what you use NixOS for that can't be easily replaced by like... `brew install ...`?

Sure. At work I needed access to the office VPN. I copied a snippet into a single configuration file and everything just worked. It installed the necessary executables, and set up the needed services including the config files for these services.

How is this different than installing Tunnelblick and pointing it to a .ovpn file (which I've done)?

Could you share that Nix VPN config file example please?
