I think the only thing holding me back from going for immutable Linux is desktop virtualisation. VirtualBox and VMware can’t be installed on an immutable distro AFAIK, and libvirt isn’t all there for Windows guests.
what issues have you had with libvirt and windows? Once you get the windows drivers installed, it works pretty much the same as other solutions. only thing thats still a pain in the ass still is shared folders.

Depends on your criteria of immutable, but as far as I know you could use both on NixOS.
My system runs an immutable/stateless Linux and I also use virtualisation.
