After 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”.

Yes, a classic Linux distro feels like a REPL or writing in assembly/m4. NixOS turns a machine into a compiled program.
