Hi everyone, someone can explain, in simple words, why considering to switch on NixOs over other distro? And the use case? I think would help a lot of people (including me) to understand it better :D

Do not turn to the Lovecraftian package manager unless you dare. It consumes all, it is all. Your flesh and mind will be ripped in twine across dimensions… if you are a package.
If you’re binary your head will be ripped open and it’s contents modified to fit a new reality.
There is no package, nor source, nor binary that shall be exempt.
All shall be consumed, digested and brought to a new reality.
It will kill the old gods, as there will be only one package manager.
It will consume you.
I’d say it’s pretty cool. Have only been driven partially insane by cthulu
Can confirm. My mind has been altered by the mere touching of a keyboard that has NixOS living behind it. My soul has been replaced by the concept of a derivation. The cables in my computer and my vęins have swapped places. The f̸l̴e̷s̶h̵ is weak. I have long since lost control of the Flakes that now grow out of my skin. When you install NixOS, you and your computer are henceforth marked by the Great Old Ones. You will no longer be able to use a normal Linux distribution. The mere thought of using a normal Linux distribution will cause your skin to feel like it is being burned alive.
