The declaritive part is pretty hot and the package system is expansive and extremely safe. it’s also really nice to be able to commit new changes without rebooting.

minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoNot everything in the config paths are in the store. None of the users are in the store Any users can run arbitrary binaries as long as they’re not dynamically linked. Root can permanently add and remove arbitrary stuff to/from the store at run time. It’s pretty good in a lot of ways you can’t modify hosts and you can’t throw stuff into cron, but a great deal of Nixos is mutable.
