I'd love to try NixOS but I still have PTSD from trying to run/use Nix on MacOS, across two separate profiles on the same physical device too.

On macOS I settled for Nix + HomeManager rather than going fully nix-darwin
I wonder how common this set-up is, but it's what I settled on as well (my flake contains 8 other NixOS hosts with common home-manager config).
Sometimes I wish I could control more things using nix-darwin but then I remember I like mostly defaults on System Settings.
I've used this set up for 3 or 4 years now and love it. I used to hit bottlenecks having to edit some nix files once or twice a month and forgetting the language but LLMs dramatically reduce that barrier.
