I used to have hundreds of zebras in service running off redhat. This was about 12 years ago and so I’m sure it’s fine now.

Same experience here, I started with a VM and then got hooked. Now I daily drive it as well.

It sort of turned my desktop from something I didn’t ever want to mess with to feeling free to tinker with whatever I want.

I’ve fallen in love doing things in a portable way and continually try new things with nix-shell -p program --run program
