Wow, thank you for this comment! I was pondering maybe setting up a trial for NixOS at work, but now I see we just don't have the manpower to handle that.

Nope. I was thinking of doing an immutable server with it because that would be neat AF.

But the updates are deprecated way too soon. You really need to take the latest milestones really close to when they happen.

I run it myself at work for a couple of years now, but I wouldn't want to support the userland on it, even the technically competent ones.

This is real sad news. I was hoping it would allow for a "Intune-like" experience for people, where they'd just download the configs dynamically as needed.
