What do you think of Nix/NixOS?

• egberts1 2y ago
  Nix is trying to be like macOS's DMG but its image file is bit more parse-able.

  But that comes _after_ you have chosen VMs over Containers yes? If you are using VMs, I think NixOs/Guix is a good choice. Reproducible builds, Immutable OS, Immutable binaries and Dead easy rollback. It still looks somewhat futuristic. Hopefully gets traction.

    if you're using nixos, just to do provisioning, I would argue OStree is a better fit.

    Nix is actually a really nice tool for building docker images: https://xeiaso.net/talks/2024/nix-docker-build/ https://xeiaso.net/talks/2024/nix-docker-build/
