  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I actually got NixOS after the latest time I tried it. But I also got that I don't want it, Arch is much simpler in all the good ways.

    And perhaps something like https://github.com/kiviktnm/decman can some day give us part of Nix's power without going all-in with the functional declarative thingamadoodle.

    Wow thanks I was wondering for a while if something like this existed! I'm very happy with regular Arch, but I am very curious to try both an immutable/atomic and a declarative distro. At least the second I guess I can kina replicate now with this. Another rabbit hole to go down I think. :D

    I'd recommend trying out a Fedora Atomic distro. Similar idea but without the extremely niche DSL.

    Which one specifically? Pure Fedora or something like universal blue?

    Depends on your priorities and DE preference. I'm using it as a baremetal hypervisor so, stability and maturity are my priorities. This made Silverblue my choice. If you want KDE, Kinoite would be a good place to start.
