OCI images that you can turn into a full-fledged developer workstation shipping Devbox, Nix, Homebrew, devcontainers and DevPod with one command. Pretty swanky!

I have long loooooong ago given up on distro hopping because, at the end of the day, most distros are close enough to each other that it doesn’t really matter which one you choose at the end of the day. These new immutable ones though… They seem cool as hell. I need to give one a go someday.
Same, I found Arch over a decade ago and stopped looking.
I feel like I left arch a decade ago. 😄
It was rough going around the time of the systemd transition and needed something more consistently reliable. I’ve been on Mint ever since.
Arch has rarely ever given me problems…that I didn’t cause myself 🤣
I’ve been distro hopping a bit lately trying out some immutable distros like nix,fedora kinoite,microos,but I always end up back on arch. I think that settles it and I should just stop,cause distro hopping is a waste of time.
Very much so. There are limitless things you can do with a computer. Installing a new OS for me falls squarely in the annoying and tedious categories… There are so many more interesting things to put effort into.
Nix was my stop
I found out about it a year or two back but never checked it out, Arch is my go-to since I’ve been using it for so long. Even after using RHEL/CentOS/Fedora at work for 5 years, Arch is still what I like better.
Yeah there isn’t much of a difference as there used to be, now it’s mostly about package management and what is installed by default, not that that’s bad, choice is always great.
Distro hopping always leads back to debian
99% of the time, whatever drew you to a shiny new distro could be achieved in debian with minimal effort
Debian was the reason, why I’ve started distro hopping, in the first place
Yep, distro-hopping ended for me when I learned how not to break Debian Sid.
(Basically, install apt-listchanges and if an update wants to remove stuff you need without replacing it with newer versions, or throws an error, wait a day and try again)
I mean, if you are not happy (and dont fear your home getting messed up with configs) you can just rebase an immutable OS to another one, one reboot and you are from GNOME to KDE to Sway to whatever
