funnily enough I tried the same sort of switcheroo a few weeks ago as well and just ran into too many issues for it to be useful for me at the moment as well. I tried to contribute back fixes for the the problems I ran into, but just couldn't figure out how to fix all the problems I had with the way things were being done :( PostGIS and a few Gnome 3 desktop issues basically drove me back to Arch where stuff just works. I'm sure I'll try nix again, and again, until maybe one day it just works as well. I really do love the features it brings not just on paper but in practice.

Yup, same. Nix was awesome, and i was convinced that for my laptop (OSX) and my home server, it was all going to be NixOS and Nixpkgs from here on out. Then i started running into external dependencies.. one after another, having to patch them to make them work with nix.. it was just such a headache, and honestly i was in way over my head. I am not that well trained of a linux user, but Nix sort of required me to be. So, i had to backoff for now. I really hope i can use it again soon.
