(No longer than 3 days ago there was a discussion for GSOC to have a project to make NixOS + freebsd). And besides, since I am following NixOS I have always heard that one of the long-term goal would be to abstract away from systemd. > * Some of us want to drop GRUB in favor of running on top of minimal > Xen payload on Coreboot firmware and isolate everything like in > QubesOS, but we are not united on that point at this point. (Yes, we > are aware of Heads:ROM, thank you, we are discussing all of this.) Again, there are regular discussions in multiple space to have some kind of Qubes OS + Nix merge (or related) [1][2][3][4]. Note that Qubes uses SaltStack [5] to have some kind of declarative VM management. Nix would be a really nice improvement over that.
