Conceptually, NixOS sounds very appealing because of its reproducibility and stability. I was sold on the idea the first time I heard of its unique approach. The package management sounds fantastic.

But even I bounced off nix a few times before it stuck. But I've been full time for 3 years now making it the longest distro I've ever used. By far

But even better because you get things like generations and nix-shell
The generations sound like a great way to experiment, version, revert back, etc. I can't wait to get more proficient in NixOS.
By the way, I have one application that comes only as a tar.gaz file with the executables for Linux. How does NixOS handle such applications?
