That's the dream. I want a system that's 100% source-available, 100% reproducible, and 100% statically-defined. Nix looks like the closest thing to that right now.

I don’t see how Nix is close to your dream, Nix is just like any other system and links things like any other system.. I.e. mostly avoids static linking.

Debian did the strongest push for reproducible builds, and is 100% source available.
