When I got my MacBook I thought "hey it would be neat to install gcc and friends using Nix". I struggled through outdated documentation to add packages, mixed up editing the files and `nix-env --install`, struggled with the `nix search` command requiring flakes or something, and never did figure out how to even update my package versions. Earlier I also tried installing NixOS and never actually got any use out of the disk at all.
