      Seriously thinking about nuking my years old Gentoo installation to try Nixos at this point.

        Could always just get another drive instead of tearing it down, storage is pretty cheap these days.

          True. I’ll migrate my /home back to my root drive and use the spare drive to experiment with.

        The whole OS is configured by a single file (or subfiles you include from the main file) - every package and setting can be there. Meaning you just move the file to a new OS, run a single command, and you have the exactly same OS.
