I was like Star Wars ripped off Dune! Oh wait…

If you like vim keybindings check out ranger. It’s nice.

Debian.

Sounds like you want Debian or Arch. Gentoo is about compiled distros.

I’m referring to their further restrictions on redistribution. I.e., why can’t the subscriber then redistribute GPL code they received?

Yup. Transitioning off of fedora for multiple machines next few weeks.

Debian has great backports support. And if you need fresher software use nix, flatpak, etc, or run testing or unstable.

How does that restriction not violate the GPL?

“That’s not a reasonable [opinion/position/take/xyz] and is going to [cost us money/make us look bad/blow up in our face/etc].”

It’s docker’s declarative way to set up one or more images, network them together and externally, etc… it looks a bit similar to the nix language.

Thank you for your helpful replies! I will put it in my “someday” inbox when I feel the need to shave some yaks or when debina/ubuntu/fedora piss me off about something. :)

Ooooh is that like a pseudo docker-compose type thing to learn the declarative language?

Ooooh. That sounds amazing. I will have to try it out. Does it play nice in v box or VMware?

Thoughts on NixOS? I have heard a lot of positive buzz, but I don’t think I understand it fully. (I’m primarily debian, ubuntu, fedora, arch user, and I’ve admin’d a FreeBSD server too).

Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Arch. :) I need to learn NixOs or something that is immutable / reproducible at some point.
