I think NixOS tends to be mentioned more often than others because it provides a lot of clean solutions to common problems. Especially when some people claim these common problems are unsolvable, but NixOS does offer some sort of solution (that of course comes with it's own set of tradeoffs, every solution does).
If someone says "It's impossible to run a popular website with client-side analytics" and you frequently hang out on popular websites without client-side analytics, wouldn't you share those examples to show that the person might not know about those and could further their understanding?
