Well, I think it's time to call time on my NixOS experiment. I liked the idea of being able to have everything about how I like my system captured and versioned so that I can always reproduce it.

But NixOS is, if nothing else, still very much an experiment. It deviates a lot from how most distros work to deliver on its concept and that had a remarkable tendency to turn every project into a yak shaving expedition where I have to figure out how to do something the NixOS way that I already knew how to do in other linux distributions (no FHS support and no Python VirtualEnvs without a lot of additional faffing about are notable lowlights).

Add that to the fact that since I'm already leaning heavily on Flatpak for most app management (and trying to keep to a minimal OS core) and I'm leaning towards Fedora Atomic + Layering to accomplish what I need. That should get the job done and be much simpler to manage than learning an entirely new programming language dedicated just to configuring my system.

Adios NixOS. It was a fun experiment, but I have my conclusions now.

Ich bin ja schon länger Linux Nutzer und hab Fedora als Daily-Driver.

Jetzt sitzen wir hier grade und setzen Bazzite bei der Holden auf, was ja auf Silverblue, einer Atomic Distro, basiert.
Ich hab mich damit ja auch noch nicht auseinandergesetzt. Wollten AutoFS einrichten füs NAS. Geht nur unter /var, nicht unter /mnt oder /media.

Das Internet ist da aber auch nicht gerade mit Hülle & Fülle an Informationen gespickt 😬

Hey #Secureblue users!

How does it handle multiple drives on one computer?

I’m looking to expand my storage for my ever-growing Bandcamp collection.

Right now, I’ve got a 1TB hard drive I’d like to use.

My brain is very anti-imperialist anarcho-syndicalist or whatever, so obviously I have to run an operating system that suffers on purpose to avoid corporate spyware—bleh.

So yeah, uhh, I guess I’ve been daily driving https://secureblue.dev since like September 2025. I just clicked a few things and, yeah, I guess this is my life now.

As a https://secureblue.dev user myself, I love this!

I’ve got a feeling that 2026 might finally be the year of the Linux desktop. With that in mind, here’s my list of Linux distributions I’d recommend going into the new year, ranked from 1 as my top pick to 10 as still absolutely worth exploring.

1. https://linuxmint.com
2. https://debian.org
3. https://archlinux.org
4. https://secureblue.dev
5. https://fedoraproject.org
6. https://elementary.io
7. https://bazzite.gg
8. https://qubes-os.org
9. https://tails.net
10. https://paldo.org

Every project on this list brings something distinct to the table. Secureblue takes inspiration from GrapheneOS and focuses heavily on security. Bazzite is a Fedora-based distro built with gaming in mind. Tails routes all traffic through Tor by default. QubesOS isolates different parts of your digital life through strong compartmentalization. Paldo continues to push its Upkg package management approach further than most.

And before anyone starts complaining about what is or isn’t beginner-friendly: I never said this was a beginner list. These are recommendations, my recommendations, as we head into 2026.

 Happy New Year!
