Oh i've been using Nix on mac for quite a while. Not sure about the uninstall, but recently i did a fresh macbook install and used the Determinate Systems Nix Installer[1]. I haven't tried uninstalling, but installation was a joy by comparison to the traditional way (and poor documentation).

I will try it.

When I said uninstalling, I mean the way you can just comment out a program in the configuration file on a nix system and poof it is no longer installed in your system and it’s like it was never installed at all.

Ah, that happens with Nix Darwin too. It's otherwise a full Nix install.

Note though that i'm not sure how well it integrates with Mac as a Desktop. I've not tried it to install desktop apps. I only use it for term oriented apps/libs/etc, and for that it works as you'd expect.

Not sure what the best possible Nix UX is for Mac desktop apps.

I think if raycast came out for linux, I would be able to switch to linux
