NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
I have step-by-step video guides (with accompanying git repos) for booting NixOS from zero on both Hetzner VPS instances[1] and bare metal Robot instances[2] with nixos-anywhere[3]. I used to use nixos-infect but now I'm 100% sold on nixos-anywhere.

An Overview of Nix in Practice
I think things are pretty good with nixos-anywhere[1] now. I made a video last month walking through the process of provisioning a VPS on Hetzner Cloud[2] if you want to see what the process looks like in real-time.

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
> I can speak new instances of my environment into existence
You're not kidding. I used nixos-anywhere [1] for the first time the other day. You can point it to any linux host and it will partition, format, and supplant the target's existing OS with your nixOS config, all with a single command. Incredible.

Is it possible to morph Debian into NixOS?
There's a few scripts to replace the current os with NixOS: eg https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere

Issue with updating Fedora 39 silverblue
Best place to start is to get rid of all the layered packages (RPMFusion) on top of the immutable image then swap to the ublue-Nvidia images that have all the codecs and Nvidia drivers built into the image itself.
-
Making the switch - what are the gaps?
If you're using Nvidia I'd recommend using Fedora Kinoite with the ublue-Nvidia image that comes with the Nvidia drivers pre-built in. That eliminates a big chunk of issues with their drivers which is just building the damn things. AMD and Intel drivers are built into the kernel and require zero effort.

An Overview of Nix in Practice
What you are looking for is UBlue, https://github.com/ublue-os/main.
It's a variant of Silverblue with Nvidia drivers built in.
-
Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
If you're using Nvidia, then install using the ublue Nvidia image which has the drivers built in, cause they can be a prick to manage otherwise.

Introduction to Immutable Linux Systems
What these sort of introductions to immutable always fail to consider is the other side of the coin, image-based. I'm working on https://universal-blue.org/ along with many people much more skilled than me. We build OCI container images on top of vanilla Fedora Silverblue & many other editions with different desktops. Those images can then be booted to (or rather rebased to) using rpm-ostree. This is a more robust way of extending the system than layering, and the same changes can be easily benefited or inherited from by anyone. You can even make your own image really easily!
I think that VanillaOS and SUSE are working on similar things, but we're not an OS project, just a downstream from Fedora. Fedora's full support is underway but with what's already working perfectly our methods are already IME some of the most robust and easy ways of delivering Nvidia drivers for example.
