Arch was my first linux distro and it felt like being dropped in Vietnam. It was hard but it made me learn a ton really fast.

Not recomended to everyone tho.

Distro starts mattering a tad more once you starts experimenting with more esoteric stuff such as Guix, NixOS, QubesOS…

Sadly yes.

I’m in the middle of my systems flake rewrite.

I literally have my OS set to be as bleeding edge as possible since I find it fun. That’s until it breaks, then I hate myself.

Ig doing sysadmin is my hobby.

NixOS:

a whistle is blown, people start running out the trenches rifle in hand. Shouting while bombs pounder around, you stay still, disoriented. The general grabs your jacket and starts screaming. You cannot figure a single word of what he says, he just puts a monad into your hands.

You could argue that maybe Helix is.
