Been on nixos for a few weeks now, and have about 6 computers migrated to it all running off a single universal configuration...

I have to say, this is the most impressed I have ever been by a distro, this is a game changer!

@freemo what is nix OS? had a look at the website. From what I understand it’s a distro for server use?

@brunorobert It is a distro, though its not specific to servers no. The main two unique features it has is 1) its deterministic (one config configures every app and service and piece of hardware so every computer that uses the same config will have identical environments). 2) it is versioned.. so when you update your system or install something new you have a new "version" of you system and at boot time you can rollback to an earlier version if the new version is broken.

@freemo sounds super interesting. Thank you for the explanation, I’m going to have try it out!
