Been using and contributing to (and working for) Ubuntu on everything since 2005 or so.

I still use it for everything. I don't have time or inclination to switch. However I have been somewhat convinced to take a look at Nix (packaging) for some of the tools I use. But all my existing systems are fine. So likely when I next get a work machine (next week) I'll probably (if allowed) use Nix to install anything developer related over and above the stock image and supplied packages.

Curious how that works out for you. I've taken to installing most packages on my Mac with Homebrew (especially stuff like Inkscape, Firefox, etc) and it would be interesting to add nix as a layer on that on my next Mac.
