  • The software philosophy of the maintainers and their choice of packages and design.

    A simple but important difference: the package-manager: apt, dnf or pacman (there is more but let’s bring it down to these three).

    Another one is security: apparmor or selinux

    The last one are preferred and preinstalled Desktop-Environments.

    And if you want to keep it simple, just be based on another distro and let them do the hard work.

    Everyone can start their own distro. Manage some packages together, choose for example: Based on Arch, pacman, selinux and hyprland-wm and name it hypearch. Et voila!

    But isn’t appimage the closest one to the app-system from Android? Since things could be really different on many clients an “app-container” is the best solution.

    Why not containerise everything? You need libreoffice? No problem, here is a docker or podman container.

    BTW. I like flatpak, too. It’s the most stable, but I never understand it’s mechanics. There is always another pack installed, freecode, gtk, qt whatever. Even if the system has already the correct gtk version, nope, the dev decided to use the gtk image from Ubuntu.











  • I manage over 40 Debian clients in production use. All are managed with ansible. It’s the easiest time in my sysadmin time ever.

    My own systems are fedora and Debian unstable. Why? Because I test upcoming changes and features. And think how it would be if all 40 clients run on unstable or fedora, every day updates of 20-60 packages for nothing the user would care about.

    Debian stable is my hero.
