    I’m new on Linux, and I don’t get nixos. I know about backups and how to keep all my stuff safe and ready to easy restore and have things running as fast as possible. And I don’t use to break the OS itself regularly .

      It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

      I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

        I see . Seems suitable for infras with thousand of servers and is not the same backing up configuration files than whole snapshots of the OS. Don’t know how works with installed apps like nginx and their configurations.
