NixOS uses the Linux kernel, but that's where commonality with the
myriad Linux distributions out there stops. Like the different BSD's,
NixOS is sufficiently different that it warrants a constraint value.
In particular, no non-static binary has any chance of running on NixOS
unless it was specifically built for it, because the dynamic linker is
in a non-standard location. This means that toolchains downloaded as
part of host autoconfiguration that detect Linux (like
`go_register_toolchains()`) always fail on NixOS.
NixOS is a popular operating system used by thousands, one of the most
active projects on all of GitHub, and with more unique packages than
even Debian, Fedora or Gentoo according to https://repology.org/.
