  • Well, you don’t need to learn nix as a programming language for a simple installation, you can use it like a slightly different json, which the configuration.nix part was about. You can get the reproducibility aspect from just that, so I wouldn’t say you get no benefits at all without learning the language.

    There are more disadvantages (like time required to rebuild because you added a single package), so Arch is the better choice depending on preferences. Arch is a very good traditional distribution in my opinion, can’t go wrong with it







  • Bonfire itself is a framework that implemented ActivityPub, on it you can build applications that make use of it without developing from the ground up. Bonfire Social is a social network similar to Mastodon. Collaboration is is about project management etc and allows one to host their own, but integrate with others, e.g. to synchronize milestones via federation. What they have in common is that both build on Bonfire and as such use the same protocol for federation. But they’re tools for very different jobs.
