nixos symlinked world sounds about like sco open server. I get that the actual ugly details are hidden away behind automation in the form of the special dsl and highly specified framework/structure, and maybe sane enough to use, and maybe adresses some pain point or two better than other arrangements. Just remarking that I've seen 'everything is a symlink' before, and it's the exact opposite of a new idea. Whether that means nix shares a bad idea with another bad system or this was one of the good ideas from an arguably successful system (for a time) I won't try to say.
