Debian and then maybe Guix on top of that. Rootless Podman for services.
There is no good reason to choose Arch in 2025. If you want to feel special, NixOS or Guix System is the way to go.
I think Guix is way more coherent than Nix. It also has better documentation and a more friendly community. And you use Scheme instead of Nix lang.

But if you really want to try out the latest and greatest in functional programming/languages I would suggest Idris2. I believe there is a BEAM back end as well.

I vote for guilemacs. However, I wish C remains. There’s nothing wrong with C. And it feels like people are starting to realize that (again).

snikta@programming.devOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Apertus: a fully open, transparent, multilingual language model21·1 month agoA fully open-source LLM
As a fully open language model, Apertus allows researchers, professionals and enthusiasts to build upon the model and adapt it to their specific needs, as well as to inspect any part of the training process. This distinguishes Apertus from models that make only selected components accessible.
“With this release, we aim to provide a blueprint for how a trustworthy, sovereign, and inclusive AI model can be developed,” says Martin Jaggi, Professor of Machine Learning at EPFL and member of the Steering Committee of the Swiss AI Initiative. The model will be regularly updated by the development team which includes specialized engineers and a large number of researchers from CSCS, ETH Zurich and EPFL.
Its good for legacy MATLAB projects. Use Python for new projects.

snikta@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Former Linux user looking for stable distro3·1 month agoIf one wants rolling, I would suggest NixOS, Guix System or Tumbleweed. Or something container based like Silverblue or openSUSE micro.
But rolling doesn’t really make sense. Just go with Debian/Leap and then use Flatpak, podman, Nix and/or Guix on top of that. For Desktop.
Firefox (or some derivative). But I guess the real solution is to make that Linux switch.
