NIX OS: the BEST package manager on the MOST SOLID Linux distribution

A new video from Nick at The Linux Experiment. I'm also sharing the PeerTube version for the sake of trying to expand my use of PeerTube and try to expand my video platform use beyond just YouTube.

  • I was interested in trying NixOS before after many years of Linux experience but I couldn't understand what advantages it had over my current setup. It just mostly seemed more complicated than it needed to be for little to no gain.

    The reproducibility aspect of it can be achieved on other Linux platforms or in other environments so it wasn't a big draw for me. I already have backups too. Making it easily deployable seems like the same use case as for instance, docker, which is available everywhere already.

    I love projects like this though so I fully support it!
