I'm afraid I made a mistake in #26866 -- os is "linux" on NixOS, we should use os-distribution instead.

OK, thanks!

May I ask what value os-family is for the platform?

We should update the table in the wiki with a nixos line (or someone with edit permission should, hint, hint):
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/wiki/Depexts-os-distribution---os-family-values

While we are at it, we should add an os column to the top table.

OK, thanks!

No problem!

It's also nixos;

$ opam var | grep os-family
os-family         nixos            # Inferred from system

OK, thanks. I've just opened #28930 to keep track. This should be good to go!
