NixOS is fun but requires tinkering for a desktop/laptop. You can use the nix package manager on any other distro though. At work I use Fedora and still use the nix package manager a ton when I want to, but I’m not locked into it when something needs to just work quickly. I have NixOS on my personal laptop and I kinda wish I didn’t. I have it on my home server and I’m very happy I did that.
