NixOS Alternatives
NixOS is described as 'GNU/Linux distribution that aims to improve the state of the art in system configuration management.

There are more than 100 alternatives to NixOS for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Self-Hosted, Mac, BSD and Windows apps. The best NixOS alternative is Linux Mint, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like NixOS are Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch Linux.
