Thanks,

There is a Swiss consulting company called Numtide that specializes in NixOS & DevOps.

Depending on your goal you may find some of the stuff they have published to be inspiring.

One example is they have a blog post about Doctors Without Borders using NixOS as a core component for the solution they used to improve the maintenance and administration of their ~100 servers.

And their GitHub organization could be useful since I believe they have experience with what u would qualify as significant deployments.

Hope this is relevant, apologies if I am off base!

Thanks @cammclain : they don’t say much about desktops/laptops, but it’s still most interesting for me.

I have heard of several deployments of ThinLinc + NixOS. It is highly scalable. Basically you transform your NixOS in a powerful Linux server for Remote Desktops, from a dozen to thousands of users, as it has a master-agent architecture. ThinLinc is built by Cendio in Sweden and has more than 80% of the core product from open-source projects like TigerVNC, noVNC, SSH, Pulse Audio, etc. Cendio is the main developer behind TigerVNC and noVNC as well.
Try it and tell me if it helps you to sort out your issue.
Disclaimer: I work at Cendio.
