Well, historically NixOS comes earlier. But the two systems are very similar, and people from the two are close, too. So to some extent they are the same under the context here.

Certainly you are now tied to the very distro and config format, but people usually don’t expect a completely identical system and/or small amount of work, while they do expect so when switching to another hardware. People switching distro are seeking changes, so that case is not the concern of this thread, I guess.
