In this job we got to choose whichever computer we want to put the budget on and could just install whatever OS gets the job done. It's been like this for the past 10 years, but I typically work in tech companies with around 10-100 people.

Went with NixOS as always.

    How is Nix? I've wanted to try, but it seems limited and computers are expensive. Now that you've told me you use it for work for so long, I'm seeing it in another light.

    It's great if you're a programmer. Even better if your whole team uses it, so you can trivially standardize the build env of the project. NixOS manages the whole OS with nix, but you don't need it to be a part of the gang.

    I've been using NixOS everywhere for years, and written long comments on Lemmy about it, so check my history if you want to read reasons why nix :)
