All my Macs and Linux boxes (from a dozen of RPi-like ARM boxes, to laptops, to big Xeon server) and even the OpenIndiana and FreeBSD machines all work without much effort.

And on my NixOS machines I can even boot into any version of the OS that I haven&amp;#x27;t garbage collected.&lt;p&gt;Also, I have found it easier to make reproducible environments everywhere in Unices. Nowadays, I just check out a git repo, run &lt;i&gt;home-manager switch&lt;/i&gt; and all my software and configuration is there.</text></comment>
