I understood Mitchell intent for his setup to be slightly different than what you described.

I understood it as him running Nixos/nix because it made having a reproducible development setup a breeze since it’s all just a config file.

How would his use of Nixos change as you imply with Zed/SSH?

I might have implied the wrong thing. I wasn't implying Mitchell should change his use of NixOS. I was relating to the desire for 'best of macOS and best of Linux'. If I was using NixOS I would do that from an Orbstack machine Linux cli, with Zed as my editor, rather than virtualisaing a full X GUI. Everyone will have their own choices of course.
