What's your opinion about NixOS?
https://nixos.org
>NixOS has a completely declarative approach to configuration management: you write a specification of the desired configuration of your system in NixOS’s modular language, and NixOS takes care of making it happen.
>NixOS has atomic upgrades and rollbacks. It’s always safe to try an upgrade or configuration change: if things go wrong, you can always roll back to the previous configuration.
Sounds neat, right?

I like the logo.

I thought this was great, but it comes installed with such a huge amount of pointless bullshit and I couldn't be bothered to figure out what I needed and what I didn't and how to uninstall everything so I just decided fuck it.

It's a meme. Entirely new OS architecture that attempts to do what Salt/Puppet/Chef etc do, except Salt/Puppet/Chef already exist and already work with every OS out there.
This isn't the 1990s where spinning up a new server is a long and time consuming event. This is AD201X where "Oh, welp, the VM's fucked up. *click click* There, deployed a new one."

It's okay. Not being able to run binaries by default is quite bad though, I've also had issues with ruby gems.
The repository is also quite small
