Thanks for the perspective. I mainly use NixOS to run my server's not personal machines. I can see why it can be a frustrating experience for a machine that you just want to run personal stuff on.

In my instance of creating server machines(cattle), the configurations are pretty light and what's important is the reproducibility aspect of it. If I need to take one down and rebuild another it takes about 10 minutes. All the upfront work of configuring Nix for that one machine has paid off.

I'm a big nixos fan myself, and I appreciate your post, I don't do any of the socials listed on your site and noticed the word 'serice' if you wanted some backseat editor. Apologies if hn comment in the wrong place for the feedback.
Appreciate the feedback. Will edit the post and check for other grammar errors
