Seems like this distro is getting a lot of traction recently. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

    That sounds really cool… so you could just take that file, do a clean install of nix, then put that file back and it’ll install all your old packages and stuff?

      Not just your packages, but all your config as well.

      Also, I believe updates are transactional, so if something goes wrong in the middle it can just abort and your system isn’t left in an inconsistant state. And if an update breaks something you can easily roll back to a previous version.
