I'm currently working on a small setup for myself to have my complete home server in a Nix-config. That means, services, backup, etc. And if I can, having everything nice and separated into different files.
Currently, it's just the few services I need, and a bunch of hard coded constants/passwords, but I wondered if there's any interest from you guys to use and maybe even collaborate on this kind of project?
Maybe it even already exists.
Honestly, Ubuntu and its variants are probably the best distros. It's not great, it has its drawbacks, but to get people started, perfectly fine.
