In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

• Arch
• Devuan
• Gentoo
• Guix and
• Void
  

Things to consider:

• I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
• gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
• Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
• It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...
  #linux #archlinux #ArtixLinux #devuan #gentoo #GuixSystem #voidlinux #emacs #doomemacs #vim #orgmode #orgroam #vim #HelixEditor #zettlekasten

1: complex ≠ complicated

@ctietze Isn't this a #Zettlekasten thing?

Although most of my work-time has been spent on #Zettlekasten¹ and related work, I am still doing research on the Republic of Letters with an aim of reimplementing it.²

I discover other people also inspired by the Rep. Letters: "This project […] proposes to reënact this concept for the purposes of exchange of visions of the future of Europe.”³ They're more about broadcast than point-to-point, it seems.
