i was happy with Arch on my server.
then, i installed NixOS on it.
update: i've set it up to a usable state, it's a minecraft server
- Arch on my server
  Sane people usually go bungee jumping or cave diving to get their irrational danger kicks.
  
  Eh arch is perfectly stable for server use.
  Can even get a debian experience by not updating ever.
  
  I also use arch on my servers and it's really stable. Until today that is. I updated one of my systems and it broke Nvidia docker runtime.

  I found your problem
  
  Yes I know but I need Cuda :(
  
  I find that questionable even for ml workloads but you do you. :)
  
  Am I the only one that feels like saying "you do you" is more insulting then telling someone to just go fuck themselves and they are a raging idiot.
  It just comes across as the most possible condescending possible response possible in the English language.
  
  Hey man you do you. Im not going to be upset over you being upset.
  And thats the literal point of the phrase: your behavior has zero impact on me so whatever floats your boat.
  Everything else you take from it beyond that is a you thing.
  
  Been running my mail server on arch for six years and counting. Best decision given the circumstances!
- Installing Arch on a server is certainly a choice
  
  Somehow it never broke (1.5 years of usage). the reason i installed nix was because arch worked but felt too messy, full of random systemd services i made and put in random places
  
  Mines running strong even through hardware changes for 6 years now
- This is the way.
