Trying to understand if nix/nix-darwin is an alternative here. I just switched over my work machine to NixOS and I'm totally loving it. So far I've only used nix on Mac to install Wezterm, because I need the Linux and Mac versions to be exactly the same and the normal Mac downloader and Nix don't have matching versions, and that worked well.

To brew? Sort of. I use nix-darwin for everything. However, some things don’t play nice with nix. In that case you can use nix-darwin to manage brew. Basically you give it all the packages you want, and it generates a brew file and uses it.
