+This QEMU image is not (yet) comparable to NixOS, because the latter provides
+extra features, such as whole-system configuration (including services, etc.),
+and whole-system transactional update and rollback. It is is cross-built using
+Nix, and because of that, it uses per-package installation directories under
+`/nix/store`.
