"Also: This Linux distro has one of the smartest security features I've seen (and I've tested dozens) However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If, however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Windows."
"Not everyone wants an Ubuntu or Linux Mint distribution. I'm not saying those two operating systems aren't outstanding, but at some point, a Linux user might want something a bit more robust. I've tried nearly every Linux OS I've come across, from the ridiculously simple ( Ubuntu) to the astoundingly complex ( Gentoo) and everything in between. So when I find a Linux distribution that can challenge me, I jump at the chance to see what it can do."
NixOS demands command-line familiarity and a tolerance for troubleshooting tasks that some users expect to work out of the box. The distribution includes a notably sophisticated security feature set. NixOS is a viable option for users who require only open-source software, but users who need proprietary apps such as Chrome, Slack, or Spotify may encounter compatibility hurdles. NixOS sits between Ubuntu and Arch Linux in complexity and flexibility. Two official editions are offered: GNOME and Plasma. The installer allows choosing from multiple desktop environments, including Deepin Desktop. NixOS is less difficult than Gentoo but not as user-friendly as Ubuntu.
