Nix vs Endless OS - Educational Edition

Nix is a purely functional package management system. This means that the act of building a package does not have side effects, such as destructively updating or deleting files that may be used by other packages.

Nix allows the creation of project-specific shell and build environments which are isolated from the rest of the system. These environments are defined declaratively to ensure reproducibility.

Because of the functional approach it takes, Nix makes it easy for systems to use multiple versions of the same package simultaneously, and ensure that updating or removing a package can't break other packages.

No more of the traditional: "it works on my machine". When it says reproducible, this is the real deal.

Some games require you to think quickly so you will build up valuable skills for your workplace.

Don't have an internet connection? That's fine, the OS works just fine without it, but you will need one to keep the system up to date.

For countries that struggle with educational budgets, this is an all-in-one OS for you in every classroom

Too much work makes us dull, sometimes we want to play a coding game. Train our minds, learn something new, and program the next great app.
