    > I tried to install NixOS using the live cd last week in a Hyper-V VM, but it failed to get anywhere due to SquashFS errors.

    Heh, that reminds me of installing NixOS back around 2014. I didn't have any way to physically boot off the install CD; so I ran it in qemu, using my real /dev/sda as the "virtual" hard drive (which I'd already partitioned). Thankfully there was no interference with the host system (Trisquel).

    `nix-env` is an imperative command, whilst writing a .nix file is declarative. In particular, the latter can be managed using git.

    For example, here's a system-wide config dating back to Feb 2015: https://github.com/Warbo/nix-config

    (That's actually a NixOS config; my macOS config is in a private repo, but it imports that repo to define its "one big system package")

    Here's mine https://github.com/warbo/nix-config
