I wish more tools did this, I almost always want a local, self-contained environment for everything. The few times I don't actively want I don't see much pain in having one. A couple minutes setup time, maybe?
I have seriously considered hiring someone to audit and prune all the random little libraries and tools I've installed over the years for that one-off time I had to process a weird file format or wanted to try something from HN.

- jrumbut 7y agoI'm fascinated by NixOS and am following it, just haven't had a lot of time to dive in yet. It does sound like the right idea. This is hypocritical as someone who doesn't use it but I hope more people use it.
