    Truely don’t understand how this one became popular. But I’m sure it will fade like Crunchbang or a dozen others before it.

      It’s the most unique distro to date, and has all the strengths the others. Because it’s not a tool for building distros, and NixOS is just the posterboy.

          Silver blue is just an OSTree implementation. NixOS is deterministic. Think of it as, the distributable for silverblue is an immutable system image. Whereas, the distributable for Nix(OS) is a blueprint for anything, including immutable system images, or something more customized. You’re also exempt from the downsides of OSTree.

      NixOS came out in 2003, crunchbang came out in 2008. As someone who swapped to NixOS after reaching the “plateau of stability” and realizing I needed more power, while the distro is a clusterfuck that shouldn’t be as popular as it is. It has some very clear and defined use cases, so I don’t see it dying any time soon.
