I hope this advances corporate management tools for Linux (and NixOS specifically). Remote management is the toughest part that comes easy for corps on Mac and Windows.

This is exactly what’s missing from enterprise deployments of Linux.

An Active Directory replacement basically.

Nix is particularly excellent for governance, reliability, and quick recovery.

It was really a great choice on their part if they have highly skilled staff. Deterministic Systems isn't quite where Red Hat is, but hopefully they or other vendors get there.

I would love to see more countries in the European Union do the same, if the Netherlands can do it well, the rest of the countries can too.

Nice to see. The more effort put into FOSS by big actors, the more we all thrive.
