NixOS is a Linux distribution built around the Nix package manager, which provides atomic upgrades, rollbacks, and a declarative configuration model[1]. It was originally founded by Eelco Dolstra[2].
Trivia
- NixOS uses a purely functional package management approach, ensuring that package installations do not interfere with one another.
- The Nix package manager allows for reproducible builds, making it ideal for development environments.
