Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
i’m on NixOS
…and I’ve been on NixOS for mount stupid, valley of despair and, perhaps, the plateau of sustainability
Agreed, NixOS is all states in once all along. Don’t look inside the box to maintain incertitude.
Truely don’t understand how this one became popular. But I’m sure it will fade like Crunchbang or a dozen others before it.
It’s the most unique distro to date, and has all the strengths the others. Because it’s not a tool for building distros, and NixOS is just the posterboy.
Seems like reinvented silverblue
Also silverblue is newer
Silver blue is just an OSTree implementation. NixOS is deterministic. Think of it as, the distributable for silverblue is an immutable system image. Whereas, the distributable for Nix(OS) is a blueprint for anything, including immutable system images, or something more customized. You’re also exempt from the downsides of OSTree.
NixOS is very good. It’s not easy, but it is powerful.
