NixOS for the Impatient

1. ublue

   1 98 141 0.7 Shell

   A familiar(ish) Ubuntu desktop for Fedora Silverblue.

   

   If this setup could be combined with an easy way to customize things, like ublue (https://ublue.it/) lets you customzie fedora silverblue using Dockerfile configs, I'd adopt it in a heartbeat.

   A simple, stateless NixOS deployment tool

   

   - rpi nas

   I also wipe my entire rootfs every boot with a zfs snapshot rollback[2] using the impermanence module[3] to keep specific stateful data one one of two datasets with regular snapshots: one is backed up with zfs send, the other is just for cache between reboots.

   It took a little puzzling to get started, because I didn’t know about the impermanence module, so I built my own hacky solution. But I really love this setup. And the way I don’t have cruft to clean.

   Also my backups are so much smaller now :’-)
