   @neo @Linux @eu_os

   We have an open PR in the EU OS gitlab at https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/merge_requests/6 .

   Why don't you collect the arguments there?

   I am still afraid NixOS may not yet be battle-tested in the public sector. I'd like to add an example to https://eu-os.eu/use-cases#notable-migrations if you have one.

   Who is using #NixOS on the desktop with some 1000 users in a corporate environment?

     @Linux @rriemann @eu_os I agree with the point raised about #NixOS and have suggested looking into this a few times wrt EU OS. Using #Nix as build tool really is a very unique approach to building a Linux based OS and completely cuts out the notion of a “distribution”. It takes a more direct path from the upstream source code (kernel, systemd, …) to a working OS. Thus entirely sidestepping the raised concerns about another distro used as a base.
