    Also the additional flavours of

    • Nix – whole OS determined by 1 file
    • Gentoo – Arch but it takes longer
    • Alpine – small and simple
    • Slackware? – for old people
    • Void?? – like Alpine but not small and simple
    • LFS??? – like Gentoo but takes longer
    • AOSP??? – not even really Linux anymore

      Gentoo really has nothing to do with arch. Gentoo in my opinion is more like Debian with compiling and rolling release.

      And what about Fedora? Last I checked it was wildly popular.

        Gentoo is just frequently cited as the “next step up” from Arch and also funny.

        And Fedora is bucketed into the Red Hat flavour.

      Gentoo – Arch but it takes longer

      Supports full binary versions since december 2023.

      Slackware? – for old people

      Aka people who know what they’re doing and what they want, noted.

      Nix – whole OS determined by 1 file

      * Can be determined by 1 file. Or one file and a .lock file. Or even more files. Your pick, really.
