Note that NixOS FreeBSD/NetBSD is just SLNOS with a different kernel,
because we are gonna to be free from glibc and GNU tools.
I am sorry in advance for this comment.
But I can only get amused of seeing some GNU, Linux and systemD-haters
spitting on C++ and software complexity on their main website
(http://suckless.org/sucks/) and on the other side using Nix, the most
complex package manager up to date, coded in C++, for their main
packaging system.
Just for the troll : Do you also plan to redo also Nix entirely in C,
like everything else, just for fun ?
Cheers,
Adev

I would love to see that in upstream, independence from systemd will open the
door to have some kind of NixBSD and other fun stuff like that. (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.
Apparently not.
* 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.

All of that would be awesome for NixOS :)
Yep, but someone needs to do all that work first :)
Cheers,
Jan
