    Is there a point in getting this on NixOS other than just because we can?

      Yeah, NixOS is great as a server/enterprise distro, so if it gets proxmox, that’s a big win imo.

      From my short time with proxmox, I had to dive into the command line to do configuration at the host level that couldnt be done with the UI. I think nixos will help replacd those ad hoc configurations with nix options. In the many articles I read about gpu passthru, and also doing harddrive passthru, I had to work in the host debian environment.

      I dumped proxmox because I couldnt get gpu passthrough to work, and havent looked back. Nixos modules and docker have served me better than VMs for my usecase.
