How do those compare to NixOS and blendOS in your opinion in terms of usability, flexibility and stability, considering an (at least mostly) tech-literate audience?
Given I'm still on Manjaro, would you recommend I consider NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, or blendOS?
downloads a lot more than other distros on update, and uses more disk space
why is that?
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'll never use snaps/snapcraft/snapd by choice;
I do see the reasons for why developers/app maintainers may want to (universally) package themselves, but we've got Flatpak for that.
Less loopback devices = better imho
it’s broken by design
what do you mean by that?
I’ve got Nix OS running on one of my computer
That's very interesting 👀
Why did you choose NixOS?
Thank you; that was very insightful 😊
Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?
Can I install .deb software too?
And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?
You look at defaults and think this is linux.
What do you mean by that?
On the Fedora Atomic website, they write:
Project Atomic is now sunset
The Atomic Host platform is now replaced by CoreOS. Users of Atomic Host are encouraged to join the CoreOS community
Do you think CoreOS is a good fit for a desktop?
I always thought it's more of a server distro.
On a related note: Would you recommend Fedora Silverblue?
I think NixOS is awesome
how well is it suited as a daily driver for dev work & playing games?
Sorry for my ignorance,
but why is blendOS not a viable competitor to NixOS?
Daily driver;
Same
Also: hi Ada 😸
Thanks, that makes sense.
Do you think the use of OCI containers/images is a mistake/bad choice from blendOS?
How is NixOS different?
