I kind of dont get, why nixos is not a minimalist distro. You can set up a very minimal nixos machine quite easily.

I figured they probably meant a barebones NixOS install needs way more disk space than anything else, due to how it’s set up?! And that’s why we don’t call it minimal? I can’t come up with any other reason… Well… and I tried
nixos-rebuild switchon a Raspberry Pi once and that took like 8 hours or so.NerdsGonnaNerd@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
That could be. The rebuilding part could be circumvented by building on another machine or using a binary cache.
