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 !

    I’m not familiar enough with Pacman to know what that command does. It’s definitely not as clean or easily manageable for servers as NixOS is. Especially not when you have multiple systems of which you would like some packages to be shared and others not. It also still doesn’t allow you to manage global system configurations.

      this one just checks if xorg is installed and installs a few packages if it is, or call the user an idiot if it isn’t Nix seems to be really good if you need more than a personal os
