I kinda wanna try out the #guix #guixos but I feel like since I use both #plasmaDesktop and #steam (plus a lot of non-free stuff) I feel like maybe I'm just setting myself up for trouble?
but the idea of one language for everything, including services, and all of it being treated like a first class citizen is really appealing. Plus I'm pretty sick of the #nix community (fuck you, jon ringer, you warmongering garbage fucker).

Been working on my own setup (OS restoration) script thingy that can build a semi-ready to go OS from base Debian install for a week on and off with my old laptop as the patient test subject.
https://bugwhisperer.dev/blog/stop-os-hoppingNow I've found NixOS and GNU Guix OS which seem to do a lot of the work for you by making things declarative and reproducible. Interesting! :blobfoxthinkanime:
Time to lose a weekend in documentation for one last revision to OS setup??

@jinxd I've heard a lot about BTRFS, as I am coming back
Linux after a long time, I decided to stick to something I am familiar
such as EXT4. The last time I used Linux, ext3 was the staple. I might
give BTRFS a try once I am comfortable, and am also curious with the
manner in which #nixos and #guixos does this too.
