I wanted to use NixOS but it just proved to be too much of a PITA to get going with :-/

Hopefully someone will find a way to take some lessons from it while leaving all the friction behind.

The the Nix language itself is the biggest PITA aspect of NixOS. It's just so unnecessarily awkward.

Agree, NixOS without the Nix would be awesome.
