  Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

  

I've been using nixos on my main workstation for the past 3 ish years with no issues. Certain niche window managers were not available back in the day, but nowadays almost everything is there (see nixpkgs on repology) and works flawlessly. To answer your question, home-manager can help you configure desktop apps using nix, and since nix doesn't have to be on NixOS, you can always use it on foreign distros or MacOS.
