What is NixOS? Do i need to add that to a dual boot?

a linux distro with a cool package management system. somewhat popular but not as much as arch or ubuntu.

Oh dang. What's its package system like?

Basically you describe the entire system's configuration in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, including network, users, packages, dotfiles, etc. Then you run nixos-rebuild switch and boom, your computer is in that state.
