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.

I use NixOS and NixOps for all my servers. The hard part is finding a host that supports it or setting up the server manually.
This will be a helpful resource: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_friendly_hosters
I've successfully run NixOS on Vultr, Hetzner and Scaleway, but all of them were different to set up.
Thank you! I'm lucky in that nearly all my servers have to run on-prem, so that's not so much of a concern. I'm sure I could convince the powers that be to allow me to use a different cloud provider for the couple special cases if we couldn't continue with what we use (Linode/Akamai).
