Indeed!
Before the articles came out, I didn't know #NixOS provided an isolated environment with all required libraries for every installed software.
Nor that the installation could be done via a configuration file.
This gives the distro undeniably advantages for this use case compared to other #Linux distros

@s1m0n4@ohai.social @jon_bon@toot.cat Yes, Nix (the package manager) and NixOS are amazing! I’ve been daily driving NixOS for almost a year now. Tbh it’s a very steep learning curve but if you want to tinker a little and have some patience to gradually build your config over time it really pays off, especially the reproducability and stability. It’s super easy to create a config that you can use across devices, so your system and user config are consistent.
