  • No no, there isn’t “no benefit”. There’s just very little gain, compared to the effort. The average Linux user definitely will not care about reproducibility. 😅 So the effort required to either add Nix stuff to an existing distro or install NixOS itself will just be wasted effort for most people, I imagine. Myself included.

    As a power user, I’m still not interested. Chezmoi serves me more than well to sync between my work laptop and my main desktop PC, because I’m running Arch on both systems and I still haven’t had the need to reproduce a system in over a decade with Arch. 🥰 So stable.

    But yeah if you reinstall frequently or manage a lot of machines daily then it might be worth looking into. 👌
