      NixOS is also unnecessarily complicated and it's easy for someone that doesn't want to read 1000 pages of documentation to brick your system.

      Probably has its uses, tried it twice myself and both times were a lot of struggling.

      For me even Arch was easier to configure than Nix.

         I would image in corporate / government deployment, declarative configuration is more efficient.

         When you have that many users, you don't really configure individual system, you deploy up some per-configured module or setup.

         Repeatable builds also make troubleshooting lots easier - and you can hand those task to front-tier helpdesk staffs.
