Nix has been my daily driver for about 10 years, all 10 on servers, and about 3/4 on a laptop.

The thing that hits close to home for me, is the inability to use software that doesn't support nixes opinions on how to do version management (for example a post of mine from years ago[^0]), software that likes mutable state for its configuration (Gnome for example) and yeah, trying new things that aren't packaged for nix means writing a nix derivation.

That said, I feel like nix does more good than harm for me so the paper cuts are bearable.
