Trying to decide on whether to use Nix on my new Macbook… the idea of Nix always appeals to me, but I always get lost in all the decisions I need to make when setting it up. Do I wait for another release cycle and just go with Brew for now? 🤔

I think the decisions that you need to make won’t necessarily change with more releases, but I’ve been using nix/NixOS for the last 4 years and wont be switching back to OS X/homebrew. I’ve had great experiences of upgrading packages without breakage and that’s a great feeling!

I think the thing I've been concerned about is the nix command and flakes. Both seem really nice for usability, but still seem experimental and in state of flux, and not documented that well, so I'm not sure if it's really a good idea to give them a go yet 😅
