🔧 What is Nix / NixOS?

NixOS is a Linux distribution that uses the Nix package manager.
Nix is a powerful package manager and system configuration tool.

Nix is:

• Declarative
• Reliable
• Reproducible
• Atomicly Versioned

🛠️ How Nix Works

Nix uses a functional approach to package management and system configuration:

1. Packages are built in isolation, meaning no dependencies are shared between them.
2. Each package version has a unique hash, allowing multiple versions of a package to coexist.
3. System configurations are defined in Nix expressions, describing the desired state.
4. Nix builds a new system configuration without affecting the current one.
5. The new configuration can be activated, and easily switched between configurations.
