Or Gentoo? I haven't used nixos yet so cant speak on it but Gentoo has been awesome to tinker and learn with.
I think nixos is harder than gentoo, plus you can do all the gentoo compile from source stuff on nixos
Genuinely curious cause i don't know much nixos, does it support an equivalent to USE flags or slots?
I don't know much about gentoo, but use flags sound a lot like overlays to me, but like I said, i'm not familiar with gentoo.
nixos allows the install of various versions of software by default so slots are definitely a thing. It's one of the main things nix wanted to fix.
I ended up installing the nox package manager on my gentoo machine, and it's been useful so far. Got some packages installed that aren't in the native Gentoo repo
