I tried out NixOS the other day using the stable ISO image in a VM. To try to get some familiarity I tried to install a really simple package (neofetch). After the VM was stuck at 100% CPU for about 10 minutes I gave up. Not sure if it was a cold start issue for the package manager or a quirk of using the live ISO versus an actual install but I was too demotivated to keep learning.
