NixOS came out in 2003. For context, that's when Xen came out.
LXC came out in 2008; KVM (Linux's built-in VM support) came out in 2007; Docker came out in 2014.
- temptemptemp111 5y agoI didn't mean they were chronological in their release. I meant that they are being pitched for the same use-cases. And overlapping use cases. For example, take the NixOS snapshot functionality vs the Darch + basically any distro snapshot functionality. One reinvents the OS unnecessarily to accomplish the same thing. Same for the rest of NixOS functionality... Like a configuration management project that didn't set constraints.
