Because it's funny, I have my /etc/os-release customized to use a `NAME` that's not `NixOS`. This is something that's easy to do by simply setting the options that control the stuff in os-release: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/527be1432109cfaf305987865bc17cc908e8e77a/nixos/modules/misc/version.nix#L121-L161 In fact, there's an entire library dedicated to making silly customizatoins like this: https://github.com/yunfachi/denix This changes the nixos detection code to look for /run/current-system, which is present on all NixOS systems regardless of configuration, and is importantly _not_ present when using Nix on non-NixOS.
