NixOS rocks, but if there is some software you need to install to comply with company policies (e.g. Vanta) then you may be in for some unexpected tinkering.

I would suggest Home Manager though, which will let you set up your environment just as well and is very portable, while still affording you a mainstream host system of the company's choice.

+1 for Home Manager, as someone who uses Nix extensively (NixOS for server, Nix devshells, Home Manager on my dev machine) it's by far the most versatile tool the Nix ecosystem has to offer!

What do you do if they hand you a Windows machine? Demand WSL? What if they don't give it to you?

Agreed. Vanta does not support Linux.

		nix-darwin and home-manager however, support macOS.
