Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

    It is an immutable distro, altough it isn’t image-based like Fedora’s rpm-ostree.

    NixOS basically replaces Ansible because the Nix package manager achieves the same goals already (configuration, deployment, …).

    But I agree, the work necessary to put into this non-standard distro makes it hard to recommend for a casual user.
