It seems like the "lightweight" they seem to be concerned with is RAM, not disc. I can't really comment on disc space usage on my own NixOS system, though my "thin client" skin does fit nicely on an old Chromebook, I think that guy has 32GB of storage.
How is this low-effort zero-value non-article even on the first page of HN in the first place?
I'm not sure how much of this is complicated because of NixOS; going this far off the beaten path would be rather complicated in any distro.
I'd be a lot more sure if the author had posted their nixos configuration somewhere...

Doesn't nixos use a lot more diskspace than arch, because of its store?
