From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arkane Linux. The argument for using a more stable base for an immutable system is that you can get all the updated libraries and things you need by running things as flatpaks or in distrobox.
But I've always wanted an immutable Arch because if something breaks, you just roll back without having to use Snapper or anything like that. Think maintenance free Arch where you can even autoupdate without much worry.
Rolling your own arch images is made easier too, so you can do all the customization you want, but as a base part of your system instead of packages installed after the fact.
That said, I still run Ublue variants on all my devices with Arch containers. But I hope this project sees steady momentum.
That sounds like BlendOS. I haven't tried either of them, but sounds really cool!
I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.
Yeah, I noticed. I miss not having a declarative system, but agree on Nix. I don't have the time to learn all that. I think it seemed neat to use yaml, since it is pretty straight forward
