Got my first development environment (Jekyll website) running in NixOS on my Framework laptop using devenv. That makes this my first successful dev environment in nix. :) Nice work @domenkozar!
Alas, I have to consider some other hardware that is more BSD friendly than what I currently have for my main laptop. Wifi worked great on NetBSD, whereas it was flaky on FreeBSD, but the audio input was the flaky one.
A ThinkPad, maybe? I'll gladly accept hardware recommendations for BSD-friendly models from at least a decade ago (read: cheap).

@netbsd@jutty Yeah, that is a pretty lame part about Lenovo machines. I loved my x260 and its dual batteries, but I've recently moved to a #FrameworkLaptop and I couldn't be happier.
I am once again getting the urge to install EndeavorOS but I... only use it to run firefox on it.
Seriously, this is the biggest reason I stopped using Linux; I don't actually use it for anything but browsing the web since gaming just is so much more convinient on Windows and I'm not into Linux for ideological reasons (yet).
I ALSO stopped because the number of bat shit racist libertarians on Linux forums I frequented were souring the experience. But that's another matter.
@s31bz@frameworkcomputer Keeping computers in service keeps them out of landfills - yet another reason to switch to Linux! And who would say “no” to a free ThinkPad?
A #FrameworkLaptop is in my future - can’t afford it just yet, but it’s definitely the laptop I’ve decided to go with.
