This article has more words wasted on metaphors than actual information.
OK this feels AI generated. Not that the info is slop but the language is so chatbotty
If it’s not Gentoo, I’m not interested.
The article unfortunately does a horrendous job at highlighting AerynOS’ unique features by only giving vague descriptions without going into any technicality that matters.
FWIW, my two cents on AerynOS:
- It offers (yet) a(nother) novel approach to atomic distros. The gist for its ambition (or, at least, my understanding of it) would be NixOS, but with FHS intact and without a DSL.
I feel like opinionated linux distros that already firmly moved to wayland must already exist, but I haven’t really seriously researched this. KaOS, maybe?
I didn’t really have the patience for distro-shopping in recent years. I favor keyboard-driven setups, and the few times a distro offers that out of the box the shortcuts and config files are different enough from mine that it’s annoying to get into it.
So there’s not a full distro built around it, or even a full desktop environment, but you should check out niri. Keyboard focused, infinite scrolling, Wayland tiling window manager.
There is a nixOS flake or it can be installed over Arch, Ubuntu, or whatever else you want.
I wish they talked a bit more about actual design aspects of the distro 😅
It sounds like it might be up my alley, but it doesnt feel like I actually learned a whole lot
No idea why the author thinks this distro stands out from a sea of distros just like it
AerynOS
little too close to “aryan” for me.
