Isn't nix just for nixos?
1 comments

Nope! I use Nix on macOS every day. I also use it on Ubuntu.

On Linux-based operating systems, you can even use `nix bundle` to create Docker images or fat binaries that end users can run without having Nix installed. (This relies on Linux user namespaces, which is why it's a Linux-only feature.)
