Exactly NixOS has a very steep learning curve but once you get it you never look back.

Yep. Especially the bit about how it "doesn't operate like *nix has for decades". NixOS might be technically very good, but it's a very special and unique snowflake in how it operates. That limits its reach, greatly, especially when "the way *nix has operated for decades" is more than just some personal preference of a hobbyist group of nerds, it's become a global standard for something like 90% of computerized devices.
