Btrfs snapshots and auto snapshots is kind of the same?
NixOS can be managed with Git and you can bring your old environment to a new PC without reloading a full snapshot. Config and data are kept separate when you use Nix to handle the config
Not a developer myself; what benefits does that give me? I know it's repeatable on different hardware or equal across machines, but wat else would be a win to pick Nix? Immutable so its a pretty static experience?
For most use-cases, yes. I wouldn't want to use any distro without simple rollback anymore. This boils down to Fedora Atomic, NixOS, or btrfs + any distro.
Agreed. Lifesaver tool many times as a average Linux nerd for about 2-3 years now.
