NixOS/en: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

Since Nix uses [[Wikipedia:Executable|binary]] caching, this provides a unique compromise between the binary-oriented approach used by distributions such as Debian and the [[Wikipedia:Source code|source]]-oriented approach used by distributions such as Gentoo. Binaries can be used for standard components, and custom-built packages and modules can be used automatically when a pre-built binary is not available.

Stable NixOS releases are delivered twice a year (around the end of May and the end of November). NixOS was created by [https://edolstra.github.io/ Eelco Dolstra] and [[Wikipedia:Armijn Hemel|Armijn Hemel]], and initially released in ~~2003~~. It is community developed and maintained under the stewardship of the [[Special:MyLanguage/Nix_Community#NixOS_Foundation|NixOS Foundation]].
