While NixOS looks interesting, it seems like a security flaw to store the functions of the OS in a single file. Your thoughts? (lemmy.world)

To me, it doesn’t sound as secure since if something happened to that file (deleted, corrupted, etc.), the whole OS could get destroyed.

using apt for managing all system packages seem like a security flaw. If it get corrupted or run badly, whole OS can be destroyed.

Don't even try installing steam or you loose all your gpu drivers and stuff.
