I use NixOS, which is kind of a middle thing. The OS is generally immutable, except through one central config. This allows to tweak the OS to exactly the way you want it, whilst preventing any accidental changes and allowing atomic rollbacks.

Learning Nix configuration syntax is a bit of a bump in the road, but once you've got that it's smooth sailing

 

By the way, I have some more pics from that day at https://pixel.tchncs.de/x-kev if you want to check it out!

I use it to host one of my self-hosting servers at Hetzner, and I've really enjoyed the experience. Especially having the ability to roll back when i mess up is a life saver.

In my experience NixOS is really stable which makes it perfect for running on a server.

You are right, but many people use electric cars as an excuse to delay or cancel car-related regulations in cities To the sound of "Why should the city be car-free when electric cars are quiet and don't emit fumes?!", and that's something we have to fight, because in the city there should be no (private) cars needed
