I was thinking about blendOS at some point - it seemed like a decent proposition the best way to stick with arch, but have the declarative and atomic bits, without going to a new nix thing that sound like a more extreme nerd cult.
But I never did, I’m still mainly on Arch+XFCE or arch+kde, or debian+kde, or debian+xfce in my house.
I think I didn’t do it because I’ve never really heard of BlendOS , no established track record. No one ever recommends it. So it might not still be there in 5 years, so I’d have to be sure it’d all still work if the project ended. Meh, too much bother to figure that out.
If this promised deluge of PCs comes along soon i’ll maybe try it on a spare machine.
I think most people will say go fedora due to track record - but i never liked it when i last used it - a long time ago.
Hey it’s just south of Orkney. Small world.
