TBF I went in expecting a novel OS.

  Me, too! I first thought it was just clickbait, but then I realized it was the author's genuine thought, which is sad. I wonder why the popular Linux distro ranking site DistroWatch [0] is not called "OSWatch"! Well, I don't. The "OS" is CentOS, and NixOS is just branding. NixOS is a huge mod, yet it's still a distro! This is what Wikipedia says about NixOS: > NixOS is a Linux distribution built around the Nix package manager. This is about CentOS: > CentOS (from Community Enterprise Operating System; also known as CentOS Linux) is a discontinued Linux distribution that provided a free and open-source community-supported computing platform, functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

    By your definitions, are there any Linux-based operating systems?
    • nikolay 6mo ago
      Yes - GNU/Linux [0] as Linux is just the kernel. [0]: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html

        Where can I get one? Also, what about Busybox-based distros?
