If you’re over on mastodon it would help if you could submit an answer to my poll over which Linux distro I will hopefully settle on

      Hi there. I know what is a meta distro (Gentoo, bedrock, LFS), and an immutable distro (NixOS, Fedora Silverblue, MicroOS, VanillaOS) but what is a transactional distro?

          So are you talking about, like NixOS and Guix, where they are based on a paclage manager?

              Okay, I get it now. So transactional is in regards to reproducible builds (like the config file approach taken by NixOS and Guix)

              NixOS and guix are reproducible, that’s one of the main purposes of them

      I’ve tried basically every mainstream-ish distro there is, I just want some outside opinions because I’m bad at picking stuff and I want to stick with something for a while

      Also Linux Mint is quite boring imo

        When it comes to an OS, boring is good.

          boring is good for main computer

          fun is good for a secondary computer/vm

        I’m dual booting Linux Mint Debian for boring stability and Garuda (Arch) for gaming and a fun desktop.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
