And weird, since the model is licensed under Apache 2.0.
What did we expect?
If one wants rolling, I would suggest NixOS, Guix System or Tumbleweed. Or something container based like Silverblue or openSUSE micro.
But rolling doesn't really make sense. Just go with Debian/Leap and then use Flatpak, podman, Nix and/or Guix on top of that. For Desktop.
When did you try Debian? Nvidia should be quite painless since they added the official non free repo. But make sure to install a backports version of the kernel and firmware. And modern apps should be installed with flatpak.
Anyway. I suggest that you try Debian again. There is nothing better out there.
I believe Guix System (or all Nix/Guix derivates) is the closest one. Otherwise I would say Yocto (not really a distro), Gentoo and all the container based distos (like openSUSE Micro).
Yeah, I meant Scheme as you've already figured out.
I would say that nonguix makes nonfree stuff trivial: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
However, I do advocate that Guix introduce an official "curated" nonfree repository (like Debian). I believe that would make more good for user freedom and reproducibility. Almost no mainstream hardware works well with the libre kernel.
Nah. GNU Guix System. Or Debian + Guix.
Nix has more packages but Guix is much more well documented and coherent (anecdotal and subjective). Also nice with scheme instead of yet another DSL.
Some would certainly say it is. I guess that's a key difference between social democracy and democratic socialism. And the definition differs a lot within countries and even parties. There is no absolute definition of socialism and will never be.
How dare you! Can't you see there's a circle jerk in progress?
