Remember the days when everyone and their pet iguana was raving about Arch Linux? You couldn't escape the ever-so-subtle "I use Arch BTW" remarks in every Linux forum. Well, move over, Arch, because NixOS is here to steal your thunder! Nowadays, it seems that you can't browse YouTube or read a blog without stumbling upon someone extolling the virtues of NixOS and how it is the epitome of computing perfection. But hey, who needs critical analysis when we can jump on the hype train and declare NixOS as the new Arch? Because that's exactly what's going on. NixOS has now become the self-proclaimed prodigy that's poised to dethrone Arch Linux as the holy grail of Linux distributions. The time is calling, my friends! It's time for you – the seasoned Linux enthusiast – to dust off your keyboard warrior capes and embark on a new crusade. So, grab your Tux plushie (or, your pitchforks if you belong to the world of devils) and let's embark on an adventure through the enigmatic world of NixOS (and let the memes commence)!
Yes, this is an area we could achieve a great improvement without that much more work. It’s besides the point though as the point is that options are a type of documentation that can obviate a wiki.
I agree on the desktop side. Though I’d even consider most “normal” distros to land in this category too with only a few exceptions (Ubuntus, Fedora, that’s it?).
On the server side, it’s extremely solid however. Configuring system services, networking and whatever are very mature at this point and it’s kinda where Linux most excels at.
OT but why are you marked as a bot?
