minus-squareunderisk@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 days agoDon’t install NixOS because it’s got Anduril and Palantir all over it.

minus-squaremech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 days agoTheir recommendation usually starts with a disclaimer, and ends with “But it’s worth it, cause you can easily clone your machine”.

I’ll stick with Slackware.
