While NixOS looks interesting, it seems like a security flaw to store the functions of the OS in a single file. Your thoughts? (lemmy.world)

To me, it doesn’t sound as secure since if something happened to that file (deleted, corrupted, etc.), the whole OS could get destroyed.

Technically, using a modern CPU is a security risk. (Intel's Management Engine & AMD's Platform Security Processor)
