I don't understand Nix, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

You failed the autism/furry test.
As in the OS? I like the idea of your entire OS and service/application suite basically being a configuration file and possibly a home directory.
We can help too! Our entire OS called Sovran_SystemsOS is Nix. Our node implementation is pure NixOS.
How does it compare to nix-bitcoin?
Good question! Sovran_SystemsOS has nix-bitcoin built right into it. All up and running out of the box.
Neato. Can an existing nix-bitcoin installation be migrated to Sovran? Does sovran use flakes?
Yes, it does use flakes! Here is the git https://git.sovransystems.com
I have never migrated regular nix-bitcoin over to Sovran_SystemsOS. I could be done, but I think it would be quite a task if you had databases from the original nix-bitcoin for example BTCPayserver.
