I feel like Talos Linux is NixOS applied to a very specific purpose: kubernetes.
I've recently been playing with kubernetes, and talos linux feels like cheating.
I think NixOS could has a huge market unexplored of server side deployments. Install NixOS, connect to the fresh install via a CLI tool, apply the patches (flakes?), and have an easy way to reset to base NixOS when you make a mistake so you can try a different set of patches.
All from the cli, all with idempotent config files.
