One would think so but then you find out even more issues crop up with certain software.. Maybe things have changed but I found that anything that relied on opengl and such would need special workarounds to run on non-NixOS when I tried.

This was perhaps only an issue with launching from nix shell.. but it caused enough friction for me that I ended up switching. It's much easier to use, e.g., steam-run/appimage-run/nix-alien/plain-ole-npx for all special cases on NixOS than the vice-versa issues on non-NixOS imho.
