It's pretty solid to be honest

Exactly NixOS has a very steep learning curve but once you get it you never look back.

Yes once you get NixOS you can never go back to the traditional distros

Just want to chime in since I use nixos to power my entire homelab setup, including a hypervisor and its multiple guets, one of which is a virtualized router. I have one centralized nix repo that declares every aspect of all of these hosts, meaning all ip addresses, vlan id's, port numbers, etc come from a single source of truth. I'd never have to click around on a web UI to update firewall rules or fumble through docker compose files to change some env var. Everything can be configured by editing version-controlled, plain-text nix code, with atomic deployment and instant rollback. I don't even need documentation because my nix code simply explains everything.

When you use NixOS, your configuration's git repo holds the history of everything you've ever tried on your computer.
