What didn’t you like about it? I am just curious; I finally stepped out of using Debian for everything which I have been doing for approximately 200 years, and tried NixOS, and to me it is incredibly nice the way it solves a lot of these issues.
When I tried it it looked really cool. Up until it just… didn’t work. And then looking around I found a bunch of people giving me better snippets of scripts and it was not helpful
IDK man, my experience is that Nix solves the problem you originally talked about and a bunch of others, pretty effectively. Among other things if things “just… don’t work” you can trivially roll back to an earlier working config, and see what changed between working and not-working, and so what would be a pretty grueling debugging process in some other environment becomes pretty easy to sort out.
But whatever. If for some reason Docker makes you more happy and not less, you’re welcome to it and best of luck.

I tried it, ye. And although I like the concept, I can’t say the implementation was to my liking
