Should I give Arch a shot?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah once I’m brave enough to move OS on my server (currently running Ubuntu server) I want to switch it to NixOS.
I’m spinning up a VM first to better understand it.
Didn’t even cross my mind. So I can install it on my current Ubuntu server to get familiar with it. Def gonna try.
I would try it in a VM first. But maybe you are braver than I.
nix package manager works on all posix compliant os' and doesn't touch system directories. everything is stored in /nix/store and symlinked to ~/.nix-profile.
personally I run an arch build and then only use nix for my packages.
