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?

    Arch is great for gaming. Also, if you're familiar with how Linux works, Arch pretty much gets out of your way. Just have btrfs with snapper for 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.)

    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

    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.

    Would love to point you in the right direction, but I've only briefly skimmed some articles that talk about how the thing I was referring to, i.e. making container images with Nix as the base, can be made.

    As for service definitions in Compose, I'm not aware of a way to map that into a Nix native approach. There might be though, I don't know
