NixOS 23.11 Rolls Out with 18,700 Updated Packages
NixOS is a unique Linux distribution emphasizing reproducibility, reliability, and flexibility, thanks to its innovative package management system, Nix.
But what sets it apart from others? Unlike traditional package managers, Nix stores packages in isolation from each other. This design allows users to easily roll back to previous versions and ensures that system upgrades and configuration changes are atomic and reversible.
On top of that, NixOS’s declarative configuration model allows users to describe their entire system configuration in a single file, streamlining system management and replication.
