@xyfdi @shebang @xue idk really about qubes, unless you want extreme privacy

And nix seems cool, but I'm not that ready to delve into systemd

@xyfdi @meeper @xue for fun if nothing else

@xyfdi @meeper @shebang @xue One of these days I'd like to get a laptop with qubes+whonix.

Qubes is pretty good if you don't care about performance and you swear off vidya. Definitely useful if you have multiple identities you want to keep separate.

NixOS has a very powerful package manager (it even has something like use flags[1]) and some niceties like installing packages per-user or even per-shell, rolling back if anything breaks, and built-in support for wacky stuff like fido2luks or whatever. Main drawbacks is that there's no FHS so most binaries you download off the internet won't work without patching. Also the community seems a bit soy-devvy so I wonldn't rely on it for stability/security.
