NixOS on the Desktop
NixOS on the server is a thing of beauty (check out my last blog post about Hosting Websites on NixOS), but after my Arch installation crapped out, I decided to take it further and also use it on my laptop as a daily driver.
Even though I was aware of the vast number of packages in the Nix repositories, I was still pleasantly surprised to find that almost all of my daily tools were available directly in the stable repository. Even Steam is just one line of configuration away!
However, a crucial work tool of mine, DDEV, was missing from the repositories. DDEV is a tool designed for launching local web development environments for PHP, Node.js and Python projects.
