Sure, but tell me: How often do you see NixOS used as a file server, enterprise app server, in the cloud, as a web server, for big databases, email server, backup server, firewall, satellite server, in labs, banking, or critical mission servers? The answer is clear—hardly anyone uses NixOS in those roles unless it's for something experimental.



It sounds like you're saying NixOS is unsuited for production just because it's still a bit niche. I think that's a false dichotomy.
