  • Yeah, it really isn't for everyone. The advantagees it provides is mostly for developers and companies. If you're a company, managing a NixOS fork is useful, so all users of the system are on the same page always.

    Otherwise the package manager itself can be used on its own. It's neat being able to use packages from basically any distro without even needing to use a VM.

    Nix is daunting indeed, but cool for those who want such tooling

  • Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it's mostly:

    • Bibliography sorting
    • Spellchecking
    • Syntax highlighting for lesser known programming languages like GDScript

    Otherwise I don't really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don't even get me started on Word).

  • Which programming language(s) do you have in mind? Many already have built-in support for this (Go, Rust, Nim), while others have external tools you could use (Python->Poetry). Otherwise, if you want a "fast" (easy to understand) solution, a shell-script might be a fine solution.

    If you want some real power, you could use the nix package manager (as already stated by other comments). It's easy to install, but you need to learn how to use it, and with that you can easily share dev environments.
