New Ubuntu machine. Installed ansible and ran 1 command to get all of my setup going on my new machine :)

you're just baiting nixos people to show up

can you nix pill me in one cast ;D

my current why I want to try it is because I love everything as code. GitOps is the way

my current why I haven't tried: 
- ubuntu vm + macbook simply works for me
- don't want to spend hours debugging my OS

I’m pushing it with 3 casts now 🙈 but given the steep learning curve my suggestion would be to *not* jump directly to NixOS. You can use nix on your Ubuntu VM as a package manager and get your feet wet with it. https://zero-to-nix.com is the best documentation IMO

Sorry you said one cast haha but for NixOS I was sold when I installed an Nvidia driver and its configuration, a desktop manager and environment, some other daemons, all in one command, broke everything, and reverted back to working state with a single follow up command.

Sure! First, I use nix primarily on my MacBook (though I run NixOS machines too). The biggest motivator for me was deterministic reproducibility for projects: I want to be able to cd project and immediately have all dependencies available and I want everyone else to have the same ones and I don’t care if Mac or Linux
