Oh I don't disagree. The onboarding experience is terrible. * You have to learn a new and kind of knobbly single use language. * If you are going the NixOS route there's the non-trival learning curve for that as well. * And the package manager itself is more than a little confusing. As for the workflow. I use NixOS on my personal machine. I'm fine with it because its typically pretty quick and happens infrequently. Buuuuuuut I wouldn't really advocate for NixOS. Its cool. I like it. I'm never going to recoop the time and effort I spent learning how to use it.
