Hunter's comment
Nix OS is a Linux distribution where the system is configured using a functional programming language called Nix. Some of the advantages of this include:
- easy to reproduce configs with options for many programs and services
- a config will always do the same thing wherever it is moved to (no environment differences)
- rollbacks of previous changes to configs, and old configs also appear in the boot-loader
- changes can be tested without committing to them, or in a virtual machine
- a source based package system with a cache so a specific package source only needs to be compiled once.
