    I love nixos, it’s been my daily driver for the last 3 years for work and home.

    A more accurate metaphor would be:

    • When modding the car, with a arch, Debian of most other distros you actually mod the car. If you want to change the seats you physically install new seats.
    • With nixos you don’t intervene directly on the car, you change the blueprint of the car and let the robot reassemble the car according to the blueprint.

      Yeah that’s true, it’s more like changing the car builds a new car every time in case you want to go back to an old one (or eventually prune/gc and say good bye to the old cars lol)
