I know there's a g/u/rl using NixOS lurking around here
| That'd be me.
1) Purely functional package management. You define what your entire system's supposed to be and Nix builds it for you.
2) Saw a PhD I admire using it.
3) Everything. I'm using it on my ThinkPad and my Webserver
4) Yes. It's uniquely superior to distros with regular package management which change global state.
I just love how you simply define your whole OS in a .nix file and it builds it for you. Good thing is that file can be put into git.
