I've been daily driving nixOS on my desktop, and manage my work and personal macOS machines with flakes. I love this ecosystem, and have even managed to make folks at work use nix devShells -- frankly, the learning curve is pretty steep; the payoff is that I've learned so much. I've been very happy with it -- I run a windows VM with libvirt/KVM/QEMU when I want to game, and use the same to run "local" LLMs. While docker is a great technology, I actually prefer using nixOS containers (which are, under the hood, systemd-nspawn containers).
When I worked on my startup briefly, I built nixOS images with everything needed for raspberry pis; all I needed to do was use dd to burn the image to an SD Card.
For me, nix is a wonderful and perfect solution for building stable software.
