Or you can use NixOS where you define your entire system in a config file that'll enable you to have the same system configuration everywhere.

Once Nix flakes lands in stable it'll be interesting to see if NixOS can steal shares from the mainstream distros in any significant manner.

I love NixOS but the way Flakes are written, it's not stealing mindshare from the mainstream distros anytime soon. Flakes could have been a chance to write Nix comprehensibly but it reads like a layer of complication on top an already complicated language model.
