Have you had problems with Nix on macOS? Nix works great for me, but I can't use it much to deal with installs or synchronize dependencies because the devs on macOS can't get Nix running.



A few people I've worked with have used our nix build successfully on MacOS, but I stick to Linux. They've told me it works fine after making some dependencies conditional. I would've expected it to be death by a million papercuts, so I'm delighted it works and a VM isn't needed.


We have devs on MacOS with Nix working, but we do encounter inconsistencies. Production & other devs are on Linux and they are having a much better time.
