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.
