From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nix-Darwin , DayWalker of Distros, all of the strengths, none of the weaknesses
Wait a second, so that basically turns MacOS into NixOS?
It lets you configure macOS with Nix, at least. Options where they exist are kept similar so you can share some NixOS configuration with nix-darwin. These and these modules in my configuration are shared between both, for example.
