NixOS vs Ansible

My opinion on this is still not stable or true and I might change my mind later when I will really try NixOS. I see the constant hype around the NixOS and one of the main selling points is its reproducibility. Under the Ansible, you configure only whats in your playbooks. And it’s easy to mess around the system bypassing the Ansible. In NixOS that’s not the case. If you make any add-hock changes on NixOS and then run nixos-rebuild all your crafted changes will be gone because they are not in your NixOS config....
