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.

NixOS, it has some learning curve, but your configuration is stored in git so you can always access any solutions you have employed at any point or any packages you used before
Of course, that also means you can roll back easily and there's also reproducible builds
It is completely different, so worth checking out even as a package manager
