Doesn't NixOS hog on your hardware?

It's very unlikely that performance would be hindered by a particular Linux distribution, but usually rather the desktop environment that it employs. NixOS with LXQt would run very differently to NixOS with GNOME.

How?

The package manager needs more RAM than the average other package manager because it is doing a lot more behind the back.
