    Is Nix good? Afaik the main selling point is that the package manager stores different software versions by hash, so all are accessible. Not sure how that works with everything else

      Isn’t it immutable? That’s a pretty big difference in itself

      edit: Thank you for the replies, I’ll have to learn more!

        it sort of is. The whole thing is made of what’s in /nix and it sets read-only attributes to all of it. You can modify it however you like by simply rebuilding it with updated configuration and you can switch at runtime or reboot.
