Ikey Doherty, the creator of Solus and AerynOS, is back with Barney, a Rust tool that builds Linux distros from source. So that you can easily create your own Omarchy.

In a video posted on YouTube, the creator of Solus and AerynOS called the money behind DHH's distro absurd and promised to do it better with nothing. His answer is Barney, a Rust-based tool for building Linux distros from source.

    In the context of Omarchy, the salient desire is to avoid affiliation with fascists. Which NixOS hasn’t exactly excelled at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NixOS#Community_controversy

    (I say this as someone whose main laptop, desktop, and homelab are all NixOS.)

    Since Nix have had some controversy (tldr), I'm just adding the Gnu Guix distro, as an (FOSS) alternative to Nix.

    Both are 'declarative' systems that are build/configured from a configuration file - amongst other goodness.

    But what I want is to distromog on nixcels!

    I remember someone here saying just recently that they used pacstrap on a live nixos system to install arch over it without a usb, which seems like the ultimate way to distromog nixcels
