NixOS is exactly what you want.

You declare your configs in a way that you can just copy them to another computer and it willbe configured the same way.

I’ve never tried it my self, but I might for my next machine.

Will I be able to do exposure stacking with the overlay module?

I believe you are fixating on something that won’t have much impact regardless of what choice you make. I have been using “windows keyboards” on Linux for years with literally no problems (related to keyboards and Linux). I mostly game, browse the web and work as a software engineer.

Focus on what feels good physically/ergonomically for you and your workflow and you’ll be golden.

The only caveat I’d throw in there is if your keyboard of choice has some sort of RGB program for Windows or other custom software. It might not be as simple to control that functionality from Linux, but in many cases there are open source Linux alternatives for that software.

I get your point. But Linux Mint does not have Snap by default, so that does not really apply.

I’d still recommend the normal Ubuntu based one since there is so much easily available help out there for any Ubuntu based system.

The Debian dist is (iirc) just there in case Ubuntu becomes unsuitable as an upstream in the future. I would treat it as a safe backup option, not a primary choice and def. not something I’d recommend to beginners.

But that’s just my take on it :)

Why tve Debian version? I’d recommend Linux Mint as well, but I’d recommend the normal one.

I think it has to do with creativity!

The CLI tools are just small simple tools. The power comes from having the understanding of how each tool works and how they can be combined.

I don’t remember this string of commands, I know docker, awk and xargs. When I need this, that is the solution I always end up with.

I often just do

docker ps | awk "{print $1}" | xargs docker stop

Add some filtering in there and you’re golden

Protonmail is great
