Yes it's a sensible choice. There is also supposed macos and windows subsystem compatibility but I'm not sure what that adds in practice. Anyone have experience with this in NixOS?

    I just know that the macOS thingamabob is called nix-darwin. A colleague, who presumably also just watched a video about it, said that it does work, but it needs a bit of extra setup.
    Well, and presumably, the ecosystem is smaller, so you probably won't find as many pre-made modules as for Linux programs.
