If you are more comfortable with apt/Ubuntu/Debian, you could use Darch: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes There are also base images for Arch and Void.

Checkout my pet project, Darch: https://godarch.com/ It is truly immutable. Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

I've hopped many distros and DEs, but I've ultimately landed on Ubuntu. At a certain point, you just want things to work, on a platform that is widely supported by other tools. However, I did write a tool that allows me to treat my Ubuntu install like a Docker image. Darch: https://github.com/godarch/darch My personal recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

I do it with a few text files. https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

having deterministic/reproducible/reverting/history/etc with Ubuntu Looking at the recipes this seems to be non-deterministic/reproducible. E.g. add-apt-repository -y ppa:longsleep/golang-backports && apt-get update From: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes/blob/502fb3d66... There is no guarantee that you will get exactly the same Go version when rebuilding an image. And all the scripts seem like that: ad-hoc wget and apt command, where package versions, how they are built, etc. can change between runs. This is only a very weak notion of reproducibility: if the scripts run, you will get an image with the same packages. Nix/Guix guarantee that you get exactly the same versions, built in exactly the same way, from your own package down to transitive dependencies such as glibc or zlib. (I am not criticizing the project, it may

I've been able to achieve that same end goal, having deterministic/reproducible/reverting/history/etc with Ubuntu. Essentially, I boot Docker images on bare metal. https://godarch.com/ My recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes I have the same exact images, bit-for-bit, running on 3 different machines. I have a zshrc alias that allows me to sync my current machine with my work image that I have stored on Docker Hub.

I have a similar requirements out of my OS, but using a different approach. I essentially boot Docker images bare-metal, directly from Grub. https://godarch.com/ My recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

I have immutability with Ubuntu. https://godarch.com/ https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

Don't leave Ubuntu. Boot your Ubuntu Docker images bare metal. https://godarch.com/ https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

I wrote a tool that I've been using for the last few years now. It uses similar concepts used in Docker (even sharing tech). https://godarch.com/ https://pknopf.com/post/2018-11-09-give-ubuntu-darch-a-quick... A deterministic OS, with the package manager of my choosing. I run the same exact bits on 3 different machines. Each reboot is a fresh install. Here are my personal recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

I'd like to share a similar project/tool that I developed. Darch. https://godarch.com/ I essentially use Dockerfiles to build my operating systems. I push them to Docker Hub so that each of my machines have access to them. I can boot them bare-metal, read-only, with a tmpfs overlay. I can apt-get install/remove anything, completely break my system, then reboot and everything is fixed! Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes You can easily get it a test-run with a pre-made VM: https://pknopf.com/post/2018-11-09-give-ubuntu-darch-a-quick... I'd love to hear some feed back. I've been using it personally for the past few years. I wouldn't do it any other way.

> Being able to know I can try things out and a reboot gets me back to my last known good point is This is exactly with I do with Darch. https://godarch.com/ It supports Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/VoidLinux. Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes I push my images to Docker Hub, pull them on each of my machines and boot them bare-metal. The same exact bits.

Darch does this as well: https://godarch.com/ However, you can use Ubuntu/Debian/Void as well. Here are my personal recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes PS: I'm the author of Darch.
