I'm excited to see this on Hacker News again.
I've tried it on my MacBook Pro and found it to be a pleasant experience once configured.
On the other hand, the temptation to endlessly configure exhausted me and led me back to macOS.
I'm running macOS Mojave now, and hopefully this will fix some bugs so that I'll be able to use Nix as my package manager until I take another shot at a full NixOS.
- danieldk 8y agoI'm running macOS Mojave now, and hopefully this will fix some bugs so that I'll be able to use Nix as my package manager What bugs are you running into? I have been using Nix on my MacBook with home-manager a couple of months now with relatively little effort. Every now and then I run into a package that does not build, but usually it's easy to fix and submit upstream. There is also nix-darwin for managing macOS NixOS-style: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin Of course, nothing beats the real experience, so I am running NixOS on my workstation.
