    Silverblue is actually the only OS I’ve been using for the past year - I’ve gotten NixOS installed to my laptop once or twice but went right back to Silverblue since I couldn’t maintain a Nix config I liked.

    If I ever want anything newer or older, I can always rebase my Silverblue install to Rawhide or a previous commit. It’s just one rpm-ostree away.

    Arch is what I run inside of distrobox, I haven’t used it on bare metal in… I think, two years now? I’ve found Arch to be one of the best distributions for use in a container, it’s simple, minimal, and (with a few minor tweaks) very easy to understand and utilize.

      Lots of developers seem to love NixOS, I think I’m with you in not having been able to set it up exactly how I wanted. Silverblue is definitely on the ‘play with’ list.

      I use Alpine for containers (LXC usually, sometimes Docker). Super tiny, very very minimal. apk add <package> and you’re golden. PostmarketOS even gets basically Alpine working on things like Pinephones, which is fun to play with.
