Do you know of NixOS and jovian NixOS? Did you consider either of those? I may compare them in detail in the future, any thoughts on how they compare?

- aliasxneo 3y agoSimilar premise, but not as technically reproducible. You can create and manage your own custom images using the blue-os build systems, it's dead simple. Basically you're just writing a Dockerfile. Most of the filesystem is read-only like NixOS, but it acts like a traditional Linux system with FHS support. It's that last part that made me switch to it from NixOS. I was tired of random things not working because of Nix's opinions on how things should work. I run Bluefin Linux with Fleek and get all the benefits I liked about Nix with none of the nonsense.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoThanks for the detailed response. I'll have to take a look.
- KyleGospo 3y agoI'm not well versed in NixOS, but the team over at Jovian are all very helpful and are running a great project.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoNo problem, thanks for the response! You have a very impressive project as well. Even if I don't switch there is a ton of generally useful things to learn from.
