From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been keeping tabs on Cachy for a while. I'd love to try it but I'm way too invested in NixOS. I eventually want to work on a project to offer these optimizations in NixOS and have a binary cache available for other users, but that would require a lot of storage and processing power since every single package would have to be rebuilt.
