Yep, I talked about this at NixCon EU 2023. Basically using a well defined base NixOS with Pantheon and Flathub configured so when family need "apps" they can get what they want from the desktop store front.
My talk inspired this fine project from [@gmodena](https://hachyderm.io/@gmodena ) 😁

What does a rough guide to importing Insta into Pixelfed look like? I'd love to do the same.

Thanks for listening Kev 😃 I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying Linux Matters 🐧🎙️
I have a MacBook Air M2, mostly for travelling due to the epic battery endurance 🔋 With Nix, Home Manager, and nix-darwin on macOS, it feels a lot like "Linux" just with a different desktop environment.
I do dual boot it with NixOS for Apple Silicon. What the @npub15zx…t7sv team have accomplished is astonishing, and when your M1 ages out something you can use to extend its useful life 👍️
