It’s a distribution completely centered around the Nix package manager. This basically allows you to program how your system should look using one programming language. If you want an identical system, just copy that file and you’re set.

I remember that thr kernel didn’t had performance flags set and used, making NixOS not a nice Gaming platform.

Is this true? Can I fix it for myself easily?

Easily? I’ve heard it’s really time consuming to get it exactly how you like it but the same could be said about a lot of distros.

Are you talking about that vm.max_memory something?
Not sure how you’d change it in Nix exactly, but should be simple enough.

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.
