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.

If you delete the file vmlinuz your OS could also get destroyed.

That's the exact reason why I run TempleOS, it is immune to this known critical vulnerability because it does not have a vmlinuz file.
