MODERATORS
Mass adoption doesn't necessarily mean Linux newbie. NixOS seems to be targeting the DevOps crowd with its stability/immutability -- that is, people who would be comfortable building their system from a config file that doesn't have a UI. They're already basically doing that with other tools.
I don't know a single devops who uses it. Not a single person in the tech companies I've been in had even heard of it. When I presented it to resolve problems it could resolve, one response was "but I watched a video that said it's hard to learn" (one from distrotube, I think) and another was "it doesn't work on mac, does it?" and that was that.

I find it actually incredible that you don’t know anyone in DEVOPS that uses it. Either you’re at a giant company with a custom stack that replicates its functionality (Meta employees that I asked didn’t know about it) or you don’t talk to other devs. It’s like THE devops tool nowadays (only taking a second place to Docker/OCI).
It does, in fact, work on Mac, FreeBSD, Windows, and actually almost anywhere that SSH can be run.
