If your used to shell it's really set and forget and a simple install would be very easy to configure. Best part being if you need to reinstall (highly unlikely for nixos being how easy it is to change OS config back) but it saves you an enormous amount of time on your subsequent installs/reinstalls. Anyway, getting preachy.
Its not just a much larger repo but also much more fresh, additionally can be used on any distro really
Oh no by all means do preach. I was just about doing the same about schroot. :p
And, like I said, it's not that I don't like it. It was just too much for the rather small usecase I had back at the time. I'm pretty sure if at some point I move to a distro less featured than Debian Sid I'm gonna have to pay more attention to Flatpak and Nix again.
Debian branch will always have a special place for me as well.
Vimjoyer on youtube has some great resources for getting started in nix if you feel like dipping your toe.
