Could you share a link to your repo? This setup sounds interesting. Currently I have two separate repos for NixOS and home-manager.

I use nixpkgs on my osx laptop for most everything over homebrew these days, I've upgraded nix to 2.4, but home-manager isn't compatible. Hopefully that will change soon.

Good thing about nix package manager is that you can have same path using it on macOS and on Linux, so your shell config files are easier to maintain without if's.

Linuxbrew installing at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/ is a bit of a joke too.

Nix is a great replacement for homebrew, but the lack of native support for Apple Silicon at the moment is a blocker for me.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/105026 this was recently merged so that should start rapidly improving.
