    NixOS really is the next step from an ansible setup like yours imo. It can and usually is a fully declarative and immutable system outside of your nix config and whatever personal files you have.

      Yeah, I get that. I’m not about to trust NixOS for my production machines at work and since I already know Ansible it’s just as easy for me to manage my home machines the same way.

        Of course it’s all personal preference, but I’ve been managing my dot files from the very beginning with nix(home manager). Never tried ansible, but, just like you, don’t really need to, as everything is already set up well in Nix(including all my configs for all my programs).
