Yay okay so its finally time!
I'm announcing Jester Linux, my own distro based on NixOS for work and gaming, no Nix knowledge required!
https://jesterlinux.org/blog/hello-world/

@april would love to try it using dual-boot, but alas I don’t have enough storage space.

@april
How would i add new packages when not using the terminal/an editor?

@chfkch Gnome Software store. Flatpak is it friend :)

@april
So it is like @codemonkeymike|s NixBook?
Sounds like it.

#NixBook

@chfkch @codemonkeymike i guess so, just way more advanced by first looks at NixBook. just read the blogpost and try it out :)

@april @chfkch Cool.. i'd love to see how you handle updates and esp channel syncing. Or are you maintaining flake locks and all?

NixOS really does make a great starting point to build a bespoke distro.

@april @chfkch also heads up, your download link is broken and has a 502 bad gateway

@codemonkeymike @chfkch i am using flakes and a auto upgrade service thats in the same org as the config on codeberg :)

also re download link: works for me :P

@codemonkeymike @chfkch but feel free to try it out and give feedback ❤️

time to boost this one last time, for my american audiences

@april https://jesterlinux.org/install/ says the USB drive must be ≥4GB but the ISO is 6.7GB
