For example, I’m using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it “friendlier” for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be “the universal operating system”.
I also think we could learn website design from… looks at notes …everyone else.

    I gather that not everything is compatible with nixOS, and it’s better as a server than for development or as a general OS.

    I didn’t know Alma was declarative.

      Makes sense.

      No, I wish for something like Alma, but declarative and atomic :)

        It’s something we might see with the next EL release cycle. rpm-ostree has treefiles complete with the option for (experimental) lockfiles. There’s already config files for CentOS Stream to build CentOS Stream CoreOS, and those can be adapted for Alma. I think, atm, it’s more of an issue of general interest than technical limitations.
