I've been using NixOS on all my devices for 2 years now, and it's great to have easy reproducible systems.
NixOS design gives it a robustness that is missing from taking a mutable distro and applying mutations (via Puppet/Ansible/Chef) to it.
- jordanbeiber 6y agoAfter using it for a few weeks it feels like everyone else got package and config management kind of wrong. Nix really shines when I’ve started to use nix-shell for different projects - can recommend! Best way to describe it is that the os is no longer kind of a ”repl”.
- thespoonbends 6y agoYes, a classic Linux distro feels like a REPL or writing in assembly/m4. NixOS turns a machine into a compiled program.
