I can’t even feel superior to everyone when theirs so many arch installers!! I use real arch btw. I thought “I guess I should go to Gentoo” but then wait, CHROMEOS IS A GENTOO INSTALLER!
I feel like we only have two options now
- Ascend to BSD-land
- Ironically supporting Windows Unironically
edit: I have decided to replace my debian laptop with BSD

GNU Guix with the GNU Hurd kernel? A full GNU/GNU system, or GNU + GNU.
well GNU/GNU is just GNU :o
I like GNU^2
Technically
GNU/GNU = 1
damn guess im going back to 2nd grade
Nixos. Or guix
Honorable mention
Plan9
OS2/Warp
https://100r.co/site/uxn.html is a fun one :D
It can run on just about anything.
I considered BSD, but i don’t think any of my hardware works well with it, plus i now also have the problem that i got hooked on declarative configuration with nix. I think i’ll settle on still using linux, but trying more obscure distros. Atm i’m exploring the idea of daily driving GNU Guix (with a regular kernel and some proprietary software though).
How does Guix stack up to Nix? I rem hearing they don’t support prop software by default
Yeah, it’s a libre distro by default, but there is a “nonguix” repo that has proprietary software, including regular linux kernels. Depending on your hardware you would probably also need a custom iso with the regular kernel already on it. Nonguix and also systemcrafters have custom iso images that you can use for that. Nix does have a much larger repo, but software availability on guix ain’t bad. Guix also has a home manager equivalent, but they don’t have that many modules for it yet. There isn’t a flakes equivalent, but you can lock your channels to a specific commit very easily. The biggest difference is probably the scheme language, but what made me interested in it is the fact that it also uses GNU Shepherd as its init system, so there’s no systemd. You can also still use the nix package manager and home manager on guix if you’d like.
TempelOS?
This is the only correct answer.
Upgrade to CathedralOS time
Run exclusively self made programs
Need a calculator? Program one and compile it
Well, within reason
First you need to create a compiler
As it turns out programming a calculator can be quite complex: https://chadnauseam.com/coding/random/calculator-app
Lol new license, you way read my source code but you may not run it/use it/ do literally anything with it
One of the more obscure variants of BSD. Alternatively, GNU/Hurd
TempleOS for the nuclear option.
plan9
The best OS I cant wrap my head around.
If it was so good then where is plan10 though
Because it’s so good there is no need for plan10
holy ORZ
This is the actual only correct answer. Plan9 is unix but better and with an animal pet like Linux.
And it’s from outer space!
no it’s from bell labs
Inferno would also be acceptable
NixOS is the new Arch. I’m surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.
NixOS user here; please do not recommend NixOS.
Ive noticed this, arch almost just works but my nixOS friends are always complaining about something
Write your own OS running on RISC-V.
Im forking RISC-V to the GPL and writing a new OS ontop of it
Lol - well fork about and you might update consequences
BSD of course
Obviously, you need to get BSD on a computer without any proprietary firmware.
Hm im debating putting a laptop I mostly use for SSH on bsd. Might be fun
There’s always LFS.
But if you really wanna bail on tux, Haiku, Plan 9, or ReactOs
