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.

Hehe ^^ I would never have thought of dockerizing my stupid backup-scripts although i work with container-stuff fairly often.
I've never dared to try anything other than debian based distros though.
Is that a common approach for non-debian people?
I think the common approach would be to just alter or rewrite the scripts if they are open. Shouldn't be difficult.
The scripts are loooooooong. And the main problem for me is that Nixos doesn't use the FHS, so it's difficult to use standard .deb files.
