Nix and flox will give you:
1. A more reproducible environment thanks to nix determinism
2. A more widely re-usable base approach in the form of environments vs containers
with flox, you can develop software in a development environment that matches the way the software will be packaged. Then, you can distribute this software so that someone can just run "flox install" on Mac, Linux, Windos WSL2, or it can be loaded into a docker container image and deployed that way.
