It sounds like a cool distro but I don’t see any advantages compared to NixOS, aside from maybe the option to make it more minimal for constrained environments.
it’s a lot less scuffed in some ways while still giving you a lot of control and a lot of tools for declarative system management.
it’s also waaay better documented.
it’s comfy.
Why does every one need to compare every distro to NixOS? We get it. It’s neat. It’s immutable. It’s indestructible. But they are fundamentally different stuffs.
You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.

Completely different – nixos is about repeatability, while Gentoo is about build optimization, customization, and performance.
