>NixOS is more than 20 years old, and virtually all of the things that make it compelling were already present a decade ago

20 years???

NixOS mention only started this year, I have been working in IT for the past 20 years, from e-commerce to banking and airline companies, I have never ever heard of NixOS.

Not until "social media influencers" started flooding YouTube with it this year.

We must be living in a completely different world then.

I'm not even a real Nix old-timer, but I've been using NixOS on the job for roles in IT operations and software development for more than 10 years now.

And for a few years before that, I used Nix on a personal basis as a college student.

I'm aware of the rapid growth in user interest, of course; I was there for it!
