you can use NixOS on MacOS.
i was planning to try it out (currently i use homebrew), but with Catalina it seems things are somewhat complicated for nixos+macos.
my understanding is that NixOS wants to live in "/nix", and Catalina does not like that.
there are some solutions to this problem but they seem somewhat incomplete (you have to make an unencrypted partition for Nix etc..), though i haven't tried it so i might be wrong :)
