Can anybody more knowledgeable than me clarify how a project like Fedora Silverblue compares to Nix? I know Nix has the declarative configuration, but do you get the same reproducibility out of Silverblue?

My knowledge is that Silverblue is kind of image based and you get reproducibility with snapshots. This makes me think it's like docker.

Whereas Nix is about reproducibility all the way down to the individual libraries and software.
