From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nixos with xmonad and with xfce in no-desktop mode. Xfce gives me monitor positioning since I have two monitors and one is vertical. On a desktop, and on two laptops. Oh and I swapped my esc and capslock keys. Crazy I know.
Also I have nixos on my pinephone, ha. But I don't use it.
I was unaware of no desktop mode, I'm using dwm but I find occasionally if a monitor gets jostled it will lose the input. Going back to login screen on my work PC fixes the problem but on dwm only it's a reboot. I suppose this allows fixing that problem...
I have a stateless and immutable system based on arch images that get built every night. I also have two different images for the same machine: one for general use and one optimised for music production. I just rebooted into the other image and I'm set.
What system are using to switch between images?
I have a ZFS Ubuntu deaktop install que on an all amd PC and use snap. Given that everyone else has something completely extravagant and hate snaps, I'd say my standard build is unusual.
Just a reboot. There's an EFI menu listing all the available images - I keep a couple of old ones around to roll back to in case of problems - and I just select the one I want.
I have a 2010 iomega arm board NAS. It is a board and a 3.5 HDD in an extruded enclosure. Lenovo bought them and quickly trashed the OS with google ads in the web interface, then dropped support. The HDD was aging and a bit noisy for my liking. So I found an industrial sata SSD and swapped out the 3.5 HDD. I found an OXNAS kernel online, and installed debian (only supports older Kernel 3.xx due to limit of memory ) Runs older version of OpenMediaVault for Samba shares, and daap server plugin. But recently setup MiniDLNA. Streams music mostly to our sound system, to my phone or PC. Does that on 256MB RAM
