I've only used nix at home for 2 months but my biggest pain point is just dealing with testing out random GitHub projects where I need to install dependencies from some language's package manager. There is usually a nix way, but I don't wanna build a custom nix script every time I want to test something out. However I found that using distrobox solves this problem for me quite well. It's a way to easily create and enter another distro from the terminal while it inherits everything else from the host. So whenever I want to try a random python project I just do it there and don't care about making a mess, while my host system is clean. I'm sure there are better ways to do these things, but I can't seem to find answers that don't seem to involve a lot of work.
