Asked my fellow nerds where to migrate from #NixOS, considering it's being overtaken by fascists, and there's no realistic way out of it. Here's what they came up with.
- Desktop: Opensuse Tumbleweed. Fairly new packages, rolling release, atomic updates with easy rollbacks, thanks to package manager and BTRFS snapshots.
- Dotfile manager: Chezmoi. Natively integrates with Git, has templating, integration with secrets managers, age.
- Service management: Cockpit. Not declarative, but a GUI; I'll take it. Provides handle to all server ops: updating packages, managing systemd services, managing containers, etc.
- Fleet management: Kubernetes on Talos Linux. Needs decent hardware and multiple machines, and is somewhat complex, so you'll know if you need it.
Share your other suggestions! Let's help each other migrate from a fascist distro.
