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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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.
