I don't interact with either of following systems KDE Linux, atomic fedora and opensuse (aeon). What is the difference between them? How can I choose between them?
I used a fedora distrobox for a long time. I couldn't figure out how to upgrade many times. Now, I use aeon with a rolling opensuse distrobox. And I don't have to think about upgrading again. I am not too sure why I didn't think of that before (probably because I didn't care too much).
To me as an end user it translates to: don't touch brew. what about nix home manager? Is nix as dangerous as brew?
I'm confused. It's based on arch but not really? Is it arch based or not? Does it use any arch package manager? The post raises a number of new questions
The answers to that seem pretty obvious to me: yes, it is based on arch. No, it does not come with a package manager. Presumably, they use Arch packaging tools and package definitions behind the scenes in some way, but the end result is a premade immutable system image.

OFF TOPIC, but, how do you do the stand-out quotes like that?
Like this:
Note that it's standard markdown syntax, and also that the contents of the quote are also markdown and should support standard formatting (including nesting quotes inside them)
It's been standard since the early days of email and Usenet.
Not entirely sure what you're referring to, but if you mean that it's not only markdown, absolutely - what's immediately relevant here is that it is markdown we're using here, which can be used to look up formatting and is useful to know where else this syntax will work.
Just that that quoting convention has been used forever.
