Love the idea and we are all thinking Nix needs the Docker treatment.

I believe though that something has restart from scratch rather than rely on Nix.

Nix ushered the idea but needs a new face. Building on top of it may be too problematic long term.



My first thought was this is exactly what I'm looking for, ah it needs installing Nix package manager on my Mac, I'll pass for now.


I agree (although I use Linux, not macOS). I tried to use nixpkgs in an existing Slackware installation and... it worked but has a bunch of warts, especially GUI applications don't respect my desktop settings
