Well I've done most of those except for using an immutable distro, and quite honestly have zero interest in running one.
Just this past year I've setup a media server using a bunch of servers I nabbed from work, did unraid because I've been toying with the unraid idea for years. Learned and fell in love with Docker. I avoided it like the plague for the better part of a decade. Now I run damn near everything in docker containers. Started using home assistant quite recently actually, my wife got annoyed with the heavily sanitized results she was getting with Gemini for Google Home. So I setup M5Stack ATOM Lite ESP32's around the house acting as microphones that I then use with home assistant to ferry the query to the Anthropic API and the result to the nearest Google Home device. It's a work in progress, but happy with the results
that is the one i would agree with
learn NixOS you will see the potential immediately and it satifies everything else in that article pretty much
I've heard Guix is better.
Yes and no. I like the config language of GUIX better, but it has far fewer packages, and you are even more on your own figuring out how anything works. Choose your poison I guess.
Definitely a matter of picking your poison for me. 😅
