i know this is like, draw the rest of the owl but i do kind of think the #NixOS dream would be to run NixOS-infect on a long-running machine
but instead of trampling the OS and overwriting it, it crawls the completely system configuration and translates the diff to configuration.nix, along with all the installed packages from all the installed package managers, and their dotfiles (secrets in `sops`)
then overwrites the OS and the config reproduces it with something functionally identical
