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 !

    you have to have a lot of linux/programming knowledge to do even the simplest things like installing/updating your software

    So, pretty much like any other distro

      Most mainstream distro’s can do all of that without a CLI.

        Weird, every distro I’ve tried either has no management, or doesn’t work. Just spins around loading. “Uninstalling” packages does nothing but remove them from the package manager.
