Idk, in terms of installation difficulty NixOS is about the same as any other distro I've installed. The process is roughly: boot the LiveCD, verify disk config, run nixos-generate-config, add some basic packages to configuration.nix, run nixos-rebuild switch, and restart. The first time I did it, I didn't even understand the most basic aspects of the language.

This is not in any way simple.
