minus-square@Klaymore@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoYou mean like nixos-unstable, the rolling release channel of NixOS?
minus-square@netwren@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoWell yeah obviously like NixOS. My reason for not using it is that they use a non standard Linux filesystem and it renders a # of packages I want to install incompatible.
minus-square@russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.netlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoIn that case, couldn’t you just use something like btrfs snapshots + Timeshift to pull this off?
minus-square@netwren@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoYeah you could put some together I think, possibly with OverlayFS as well. I feel like the value those distros add is not just the rolling mechanism but the package manager being tied into it. So you just use the package manager like any other and it works.
