To counterpoint this, I'm an happy nixos desktop user. It's not perfect, but still vastly better than a non declarative distro for my taste.

I use vagrant quite a lot at work. This will impact me a lot :-/

I can understand it being weird, but when you get used to it, it's really really handy, for instance to manage user rights. I've read somewhere that actually, pg schemas compares more with mysql database, postgresql databases being an additional level wrapping it.

Yes, and usually, it means you need to use the full binary path unfortunately (because debian wrappers embedded in the package select the version from your 5432 cluster).

Not my experience.

That being said, if your team was mainly non-remote with some remote employees, then I'm not surprised: it is the worst possible organization and a motivation killer for the remote person. Every article about experience of remote work I've read says: "don't put remote people on non-remote team" and I wholeheartedly agree.
