With the introduction of snap, flatpak, I'm never quite sure where I should be getting my software from. + +I've occasionally experimented with other distributions, but usually found them disadvantageous in some ways. For example, debian is quite stable, but doesn't usually ship the latest and greatest upstream software. + +I began to use [Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/) linux as it was the default operating system shipped on my [Pinebook Pro](https://www.pine64.org/pinebook-pro/), and I found the experience pretty refreshing. It's based on [Arch](https://archlinux.org/) linux but ships with a bit more pre-installed stuff. It also has great support for ARM based hardware. The Arch wiki and Arch User Repository are really great in my opinion, and with tools like `pamac` I can install a huge variety of stuff just with a few commands, even including building some software from source where there's no binary distribution. + +I'm probably going to experiment with [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) next, as I like the idea of reproducible installations. I'll likely try it on my Raspberry PI home server first. For bonus points, I'll also try a [ZFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS) based installation which should hopefully make backups a breeze. + |
