I created a tool that allows you to boot natively (from grub) directly into Docker images.

It supports Debian/Ubuntu/Arch/VoidLinux currently (Gentoo soon).
With Darch, your entire desktop is scripted and reproducible.
Here are my Arch recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes
I find this to be a better middle-ground between <your favorite OS> and Nix.
- indigodaddy 8y agoVery neat concept, you should Show HN that. Reminds me of another similar project where instead he had everything running in RAM. Totally forget the name of that project now though.
- pknopf 8y agoWith Darch, your image isn't in RAM, but all of your runtime changes are, so they are discarded on reboot. That means only commands that are baked into your image are persisted. That means you can test new packges without fear that it will leave boogers on your machine.
