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. --- ## Link https://nixos.org/ --- <center><br/><br/> This is posted on Steemhunt - A place where you can dig products and earn STEEM.
