    I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

      Yup, only reason I can’t move on is because of the AUR and the rolling release, though, having said that I’m thinking of trying NixOS but not quite sure it’s for me as it isn’t posix. It seems some software doesn’t really like that although I’ve heard it’s pretty awesome as a server OS.

        Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it’s on the “immutable” thing that’s popular right now. I’ve tried a few immutable distros, and they’re not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

      It isn’t necessarily your fault as it is unstable software. It is going to break and fall apart. I feel like having a homelab is a much more productive way to tinker.
