Thank you, good to know. Not as straightforward as directly installing distro but certainly worth considering.
As to why it reduces attack surface please see answer provided to other comment.
Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS?

I don’t know about Silverblue, but I know you can use NixOS on pretty much any VPS using the tool nixos-infect.
Not sure how it would reduce your attack surface though. That’s not really the problem that they are trying to solve.

nixos-anywhere also works well for this use case.
