From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah this particular guy also loves doing insane things to his machine. He's absolutely mental in a wonderful way.
My personal take on anything Jon does based on my experience with his delightful antics is that the only thing we can say for sure is if it doesn't work for him it's just not going to happen. His blog is pretty great to follow.
Huh, he mains NixOS. Always a bit funny to see someone daily driving a distro different than what they professionally work on.
I thought I recognized that blog, I remember reading his blog TPM+FDE for NixOS back when I was trying NixOS.
The "VP Engineering for Ubuntu" being a NixOS user is hilarious and reminds me of the CEO of Ford saying he's been driving a Xiaomi EV "for six months now and I don’t want to give it up".
