From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I hope it goes (or went) well. If you use Proxmox, you can still through NixOS on a VM and play to your hearts content. But you also run a nice, simple Debian LXC alongside it for something else. And if you break your NixOS install, it does not impact any of your other containers and VMs. That is what makes Proxmox so awesome.
