They have virtually no moderators (they all quit because they were burnt out and manipulated), filled with racist lmayo, and are associated deeply with anti-migrant violence and warmongering (Anduril) who hire people straight out of NixOS to build weapons to fund imperialism everywhere.

Go use Guix instead (they don’t rely on free GitHub credits or limitless AWS S3 buckets) and are objectively superior on a technical standpoint (no “experimental features” that everyone considers stable) and don’t give any shit about nonfree software unless you provide it, or only contribute to nixpkgs (collective infra) and outside projects like Lix/Snix.

Avoid the NixOS community at all costs if you value your emotional labor. Even the chuds have done this with things like Determinate Systems Nix (“Nix without the drama”) and making their own corpo shill platform called “flakehub”

There is no liberalism anymore, only fascist cultural hegemony that will take over every space it can.

    Fedora is alright, I like the atomics and the dnf package manager

    For those who don’t know, the silverblue distro is a containerized OS that keeps your root filesystem read only and requires you to declaratively layer packages. So if a package breaks your system, it’ll auto-rollback to the last working state.

    SteamOS and Bazzite are both based on it. With the upshot of using atomic being that you can rebase your whole OS to a different atomic distro with one command, so you can do rpm-ostree rebase bazzite to have your next boot load you into Bazzite, then rpm-ostree rebase silverblue to boot back into silverblue
