It's crazy how good nixos+git gets when you've iterated for a while. I'm using the same setup on my work laptop, my home PC, and my router.

Coming up on my 1 year anniversary with NixOS and couldn't be happier, even though it has taken quite some time to adjust to (and I still barely know the language).

Having one place for all configurations is such a breath of fresh air, and having my work & home PC being identical (even Gnome is declaraticely configured!) is so nice.

Before NixOS, I resented using my private PC because it was never up to date with what I had configured on my work PC, but now that's just a "git pull && nixos-revuild switch --flake ." away - regardless of what has changed.



One of the things I love the most about it is that we can use CI to update flake inputs and build configs on a cadence, which is almost like having dependabot for machine configuration.
