I haven’t found any good information on which distro to use for the NAS I am building. Sure, there are a few out there. But as far as I can tell, none are immutable and that seems to be the new thing for long term durability.

    I want immutability because I come from a the debian world where everything just works. But I want the benefits of using modern versions of packages.

      If you’re running unstable system packages, immutability won’t really save your stability.

      So don’t complicate it, and just use Debian with nix and home-manager. That way you have a stable base, and you can create a list of bleeding edge packages that should be installed. In any case it should be essentially only docker + whatever can’t be dockerised.
