  I mean my root filesystem is immutable. After trying NixOS and seeing that article I linked about an immutable NAS using Alpine I decided to try it for myself. I found it easier to just customize the Arch ISO builder and generate/update images as needed. Packages aren’t pinned and it’s not 100% deterministic, but that’s fine it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

  Also I found NixOS annoying:

  1. Because of the language

  2. Because the scripts/language (I forget the command) was doing god knows what behind the scenes. My needs aren’t that complicated I’m comfortable with just manually setting things up and locking that in by generating an Arch image.

  Nix has issues, personally I’m using an immutable distro. Right now I can go upstairs and yank the power and it’ll boot right back up like nothing ever happened.

  I want something rock solid, and neither Ansible or NixOS provide that. Here’s the article that I took inspiration from: words.filippo.io/frood/

  Don’t expect that to make a difference. Only 199 were tried at Nuremberg.
