I'm curious if you have any pointers for whole Mac config with nix-darwin. This is something I've just started looking at and at the moment don't have much more than a nix-shell with some nice-to-haves. Any tips / tricks / guides are greatly appreciated.

not sure how approachable it might be, but i like to think the documentation isn't too bad for my personal stuff.

definitely nothing so well thought out as a tutorial, but i try to describe the structure & implementation of my approach + cross-link to relevant tools that i incorporate.

lmk if you find it useful at all: https://github.com/jkachmar/termina

Life’s short. Don’t waste it configuring nix-darwin.

As someone who has nix-darwin on their daily driver machine I can confidently say that I spent very little time configuring it and my config is almost in full shared between both NixOS and nix-darwin

Upfront payment figuring out Nix is amortized, and is less than a lifetime of payments of dealing with flakey machines, assuming you have a decent amount of lifespan left.
