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.

It's all good, man. I'm not saying that my way is the right way, and your's is wrong, and I love being educated.
What I mean, is, I have all the toolings already there without having to set them up, once I feel I need them.
So the discussion is more about having things set up globally vs. scoped.
NixOS is hard to explain.
I also did not get it at first, but got into a 101 session at cfgmgmtcamp last year and then it clicked.
I would suggest looking at YouTube videos like this one and try to understand what NixOS really is.
It is a pity really that it is not more approachable, the project would have more success if it is somehow easier to explain to others that are new to it :).
3 hrs? thank god I don't use the official YT app 😂.
But you're right. One should at least watch a real-world practical example of its usage.
