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.

I've been running NixoOS for about a year now
NixOS is definitely hit or miss on bleeding edge. The archive is absolutely massive but it is in no way universally up to date.
They just got Wayland in in the last update.
It needs more maintainers and it's a royal pain in the ass to fix anything if it's actually broken.
Yah, I installed it a couple weeks ago, it was on Plasma 5.27 or something almost as old, and installing strange software or drivers is such a pain in the ass. Lasted a couple days, like I usually do when I try NixOS every few months. Ah, well.
24.05 brought plasma 6, The problem is, Wayland made a whole bunch of my stuff no longer work updates for those packages are slow to make it through Nix.
