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.
