I’m really enjoying Pop!_OS, but their logo could use some workshopping imo. I’ve been considering trying an upstream distro as an educational experience anyway, yet somehow this is what I’m feeling excited about. I don’t know why - nobody but me is ever going to see my neofetch output. Lol
(NixOS isn’t really in the running… I just wanted a 3rd example and like the logo)
debian when you need image for your docker, nixos when you need stability and reproducibility, arch when you…
i have no idea actually, why arch?
so you can say “I use Arch BTW”
i like watching the little pacmans install software for me
Container images and NixOS is actually a match made in heaven, so yes it’s NixOS all the way, except I spend 10 times reading scattered documentation and tutorials rather than getting a working configuration… Fedora ain’t so bad
Easily the biggest downside rn. The scattered/lack of documentation has been the biggest hurdle for me getting into NixOS, especially after being spoiled with the arch wiki.
How do you manage your images in Nix? Ive got a bunch of docker compose files and want to migrate over but havent had the time to sink.
Arch is great for gaming. Also, if you’re familiar with how Linux works, Arch pretty much gets out of your way. Just have
btrfswithsnapperfor rolling back any mistakes. (Although, I’ve only had to do that once in the last 5 years or so on Arch. And I was trying to replace the graphics driver, so kinda on me.)Can also use TimeShift, and there are some pretty simple ways of having it take snapshots before every update.
Yeah,
snapperjust works better withbtrfsin my experience, buttimeshiftis fine too.Personally I just like being close to upstream so that contributing if I find bugs is easier.
As others have said I also recommend it for tech-competent gamers.
When you like rolling release distros because you’re still traumatized from trying to version-upgrade Fedora Core. Although I went with Garuda because of convenience tools like
garuda-update.
