Is Bedrock Linux good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution

  What you’re thinking of is called Bedrock Linux: https://bedrocklinux.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Nix Package Manager Install on Alpine Linux

  Install the Nix Package Manager -- on Alpine Linux? Apparently possible! If so, then someone would get the ("Small. Simple. Secure.")-ness (lightweightedness) of Alpine Linux (https://www.alpinelinux.org/) -- coupled with the 120,000+ packages of the NixOS Package Repository (https://search.nixos.org/packages) ... What's not to love about that pairing? (Yeah, there might be a few tech issues -- but even if there... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Warm Welcome to Linux P2

  Some break out of the mold like portable applications, NixOS packages, and Bedrock Linux. These can further be added on top of the base OSs, and theoretically, on top of source-based distros as well. Having choices like these open up routes to more degrees of freedom. It can also be a double-edged sword for non-experienced users. Experience is the best teacher. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Waveterm

  Back when I used a debian based distribution I made use of https://bedrocklinux.org/ to make use of the AUR. It's not for everyone though. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Statically built Nix on Alpine Linux #6751 (2022)

  Now this is interesting... Apparently it is possible to run Nix AKA "The Nix Package Manager" on Alpine -- despite the fact that Alpine is Busybox and Musl based and NixOS is Coreutils and Glibc based! Well done Nix engineers and contributors! (I may switch to Alpine w/Nix Package Manager in the future, depending on how well it works!)

  Sure, just install Bedrock Linux and add the Arch stratum on top. Source: about 3 years ago

• Seamlessly run other Linux distributions inside your terminal

  If you want to actually use multiple distributions at once integrated tightly into each other (like using Ubuntu with AUR packages) I highly recommend https://bedrocklinux.org/. It uses some chroot and symbolic link magic to share files across filesystems. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• What are some of the more innovative linux distributions?

  Bedrock Linux. It is allows you to make a system out of various seemingly-incompatible parts of other distros. I haven't gotten around to trying it myself, but it's really cool. Source: about 3 years ago

• Can someone tell me what's so great about not being able to swap your system components? It not breaking seems like an excuse, when a lot of systems already do not break.

  Oh sick! I'm a big void fan too, you should check out https://bedrocklinux.org, which lets you mash distros together, and it lets me build a system out of mostly void-musl but have all of the outstanding compatibility of arch and the AUR. Source: over 3 years ago

• Losing everything due to WSL corruption?

  I was strictly talking about WSL2/containers in mind as I too have gotten sick of these "problems" for which there's never seem to be an end for. As in on Linux too I'd rather use Distrobox/nsbox/Bedrock Linux etc just dump the out of host distro kinda stuff into their respective containers, rather than risking to break and/or lose stuff because of the other people's clashing views on "what should be done/made how".
