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.

I asked in the nixOS community a few days ago, but since you mentioned you run nixOS on servers too, what's been your experience of nixOS on a server?

Pretty great actually. I have the same shell and the same utilities as on my desktop(s) and for what I’ve been deploying there was already a builtin or a community provided NixOS module for
