I've been lucky enough to use Nix and NixOS at work. It's kind of coupled with Haskell nowadays (every Haskell shop I've even interviewed at has used Nix) I agree about the art software. Krita is getting better I guess as is Blender (and Grease Pencil for 2D). But my wife loves Clip Studio Paint and it doesn't play nice with wine either. Apparently Krita is very deliberately cribbing from CSP so maybe someday it'll leapfrog it. But for now, macOS for art.
