Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

More or less, yep. It is integrated well though. For instance, you configure the terminal font with your nix config instead of setting it in the termux theme app.
Oh sweet, would I be a complete maniac for trying to run a DE with and xrdping in from Android as I've heard people do with base termux sometimes?
I haven't tried doing that, but it would definitely be possible. You won't have out of the box support for X-related configuration like you do on NixOS though.
If you give it a shot, please let me know how you go.
Ahh I'm not sure how I'd do it without being able to use the nix config to be honest was kinda hoping to just use the normal settings for enabling DEs
Might still have a crack at it but NixOS might not be the right tool for the job
