I like it because I have a super complicated setup where a NAS is mounted in multiple places and gracefully disappears when I’m not at home (all managed deterministically with systemd at boot). Otherwise, I’d have to write a bash script that runs on a cron job to check the mount points. The way I have it now is laughably superior to that old, manual, (IMO incredibly kludgey) way of doing it.

That’s part of the beauty of Linux; power of option. Don’t like the way something is done; do it another way. Don’t like the tool, find a new tool. While I think NixOS is quite cool, absolutely no hate here, I find it isn’t the right tool for me. For my NAS, I only have it mounted to devices that are on network. For my laptop, I have other ways of accessing it. Mainly from my laptop, I have no need for the NAS as the NAS is primarily used by other services hosted on network, and from there I can access the web front end for much of it. So with a simple VPN connection I can access everything.
