I’m not even saying “use NixOS as base”, I am saying use #Nix (the build tool) to build your own #NixOS sibling if you want. In theory one could even build an OS based on #FreeBSD (like Dell’s ThinOS) using a reproducible build tool like Nix (not how Dell does it I assume). This notion of “Linux distributions” is so entrenched but it’s the first dogma that crumbles when looking into Nix. It’s quite refreshing.
