Why I love NixOS

Why I love NixOS is really about the Nix package manager, reproducibility, and sane system management in the LLM coding era.

I'd love NixOS more if they had any decent documentation.

Everything seems scattered around a dozen forums, a hundred old blog posts, and a thousand issues of "this work on my machine (3 releases ago)".

A lot of us use NixOS/nix yet haven't read any documentation nor hand-written nix ourself. That's Claude Code's job.
So relying on closed source code using a closed model to configure a free OS. That's a step back.
