Seems like this distro is getting a lot of traction recently. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

Oh my bad. Yeah you can configure almost anything in a declarative way on the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file:

services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;

Or

services.xserver = {
  enable = true;
  display manager.gdm.enable = true;
};

You can define a lot more (programs, users) and then you build the config file to take effect. By default NixOS is immutable so you can’t change anything in the root partition and if there is something that broke you can rollback to a previous build!

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.
