    Right away this sounds like a task for a "declaratively defined" distros, based on nixpks, guix or any other similar toolkit. There are tools, but no ready-made distro that does that, as far as I know.

    The second set that comes into my mind is the "immutable" distros that utilises CoW FS, snapshots of the initial state and some machinery to change it. I'm most familiar with the SUSE famliy, thus I'm thinking of MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon Desktop - with snapper and transaction-update one have an access to the post-install state and may replay it anyware.

    This kinda similar to what FreeBSD and illumos distros achieve with the ZFS and a "boot environment" concept (administrated via bectl/beadm).

    And in the devops world it'd be a packer image applied to a new device.

  2. I’m Just the Barista

    The spirit of the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe is to try to create a serene, open, friendly, positive, and welcoming environment for all who want to be a part of it.
    I am just the Barista.
    I can't solve the world's problems, but I can try to keep the counter clean, keep the machines running, serve a good BSD coffee, and ensure that, at least here, friends can find a moment of peace and constructive sharing.

    We need more bars and fewer shopping malls.
