Is it stable or still a work in progress ?
From what I read it seems very interesting and I am giving it a go in a VM to see how it behaves.
Just curios if someone else tried it in a VM or on bare metal.
I'm currently on NixOS* and yes, it's stable, but there are quite a few gotchas that you won't know about until you run into them:
Bottom line: if you like the idea of managing your system in a functional programming language, then I really do recommend NixOS :) If you just want a stable base without too many odd programs installed on top, then a basic NixOS install also isn't much of a headache while still staying on the surface of writing Nix code - just beware that the temptation to "nixify all the things" is very real ;)
* my Arch install borked itself for the second time this year by doing an upgrade, running out of disk space halfway through and leaving the system unusable without some rescue-boot operations; suddenly Nix sounded very attractive!
