> Nix is unusual and relatively difficult. This makes it difficult to recommend in many settings. But, if you're interested in learning it, spending time to try it out as a personal desktop (where there aren't external deadlines or requirements of reliability) is a decent way to explore it. I was originally interested in Nix and NixOS on servers, and started running it on my main desktop at work in order to force myself to really learn it, as a way of jumping in with both feet. I think it worked well, and I ended up really enjoying it.
