In practical terms, NixOS has a number of benefits: One configuration language Disaster recovery No dependency hell System rollbacks Largest package repository (120,000+ packages) I won't go into detail about Nix and NixOS here, it's a rabbit hole I'm still falling through after a year or so.
But briefly, NixOS is a trifecta of a functional language (Nix), declarative package management (Nix Packages), and full Linux distribution (the OS part of NixOS.)
