Thats the magic of NixOS basically.

I've used a handfull of OSes regularly and I worked somewhere that used the Nix package manager, its pretty neat in a land of broken everything (most Linux distributions)!



Huh? All modern distris are very stable. Hadn't had problems with arch, Debian, Ubuntu it freebsd for years.


Not really, one mistake installing a package and you can have everything break. This is basically why containers/Docker and things like virtualenv exist.
