Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

Hej lemmings!

Quick question for you all: do you stick with the same distro across your PC, laptop, and server, or do you pick different ones based on the device and what you’re doing?

For me, I’ve been mixing and matching depending on the use case, but I’m starting to think it’d be nice to just have one distro (or at least one family like Fedora or Debian) running everywhere. That way I wouldn’t get confused about default settings or constantly have to look up flags for different package managers.

Right now my setup is:

  • Gaming rig: CachyOS
  • Laptop: AuroraOS
  • NAS: Unraid
  • Various project servers: DietPi, Debian, Alpine etc..

I feel like NixOS might be the only distro that could realistically handle all these use cases, but I’m a bit scared of the learning curve and the maintenance work it’d take to migrate everything over.

Am I the only one who feels like having “one distro to rule them all” would be nice? How do you guys handle your setups? All ears! 😊

arch on my two laptops, and desktop. proxmox on my server as the hypervisor, and debian on the vm/lxc. my routers are running openwrt.

one of my laptops i use for testing, and i do switch distro’s.. i’ve tried alpine, gentoo and i’d like to try openbsd. but arch is comfy

New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI

According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me a bit uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

It’s not virtue signalling, I know very well what I’m doing is hypocritical at best, but it’s also unavoidable for me. For one, I’m using it like this at work where they’d love nothing better than for me to start vibe coding. This is the compromise I’ve been able to make so far.

No judgement. I just thought it was funny.

I don’t have any experience with Ghost but just from glancing at it, seems like might be overkill for a simple blog. There are a lot of static site generators out there that would be on the safer side, I think. (I am not an expert at this though!)
