a few people in the replies are asking why someone might want to use nix as an OS / to manage your python packages / to manage your config files.
does anyone want to share their reasons for doing those things? I don't really know.
(please give examples of some specific problems Nix solves for you and what you like about it, don't just say "it's reproducible/declarative” :) )
