You also have a hardware-configuration.nix by default but shhhhh…

Yes, that’s pretty much what I said but more accurate and less funny

Gentoo is just frequently cited as the “next step up” from Arch and also funny.

And Fedora is bucketed into the Red Hat flavour.

Edit: just pasting the link now, making it into an embedded picture lagged and crashed voyager??

Also the additional flavours of

• Nix – whole OS determined by 1 file
• Gentoo – Arch but it takes longer
• Alpine – small and simple
• Slackware? – for old people
• Void?? – like Alpine but not small and simple
• LFS??? – like Gentoo but takes longer
• AOSP??? – not even really Linux anymore

Yes, it’s very hard to not listen. For the uninitiated: Hitler isn’t actually talking about functional programming here. Crazy, I know. He is talking about some stoner refusing to attack or sth and the subtitles don’t match the spoken words at all!!
