As an bitcoiner I want an secure and easy to move os from hardware to hardware without breaking the configurations and reinstalling packages. Backing up .dot files works good. I have used debian derivates for years... As a computer geek it's still great but for thinkering. But for valuable libaries like "Bitcoin layer 1 and ontop layers " I want to step up my opsec by minimize updates as less as possible but still be current.

In searching of the best solutions I stumble upon
immutable oses. First was ostree of fedora. Then nix os After doing my due diligence I found guix.

I liked quix over nix because of what could understand within my technical limits.

1 Guix and Nix are both immutable en updates are generational, meaning that you can update after you are 100% sure and rollback if necesary.

2 Packages is run separate form each other. something like containers ( still doing due diligence to understand the difference compartmentalisation technologies available )

3 System deamons like systemd guix has his own services manager called Shepherd. Shepherd is a service manager that looks after the herd of daemons running on the system. Like the difference between systemd and openrc shepherd is more modular as i could understand and more secure in my view

4 Managing Guix is less complicated than nix os but still steep learning curve for a guy like me. You have to know Guile to configure the configuration files that will make the installation unattended. As a could understand that guile (lisp derived ) is a general programing laguage less specific like nix (haskell derived ) so more accessable.

5 The config file is separated for the hardware config file. Means that I can easy port all my installation configuration to other hardware with ease ( look up delarative configuration) I can easilly use the same config and change a little to run on mobile desktop or server. Image the flexablity it would bring. Orange pill is a breeze. You can make a template and Have an os running in no time for the new pleb.

There are more differences but for me that are a few that I like

My plan for the future is open a gitlab account. Use that account specific for the config file of "Citadel Os" I will post a bounty for the one who can make this config file possible and be peered review for security. I want it with all bell and whistles, like full disk encryption,heads, pam, selinux ecetra. And more important also mobile version.

I Know is guix is kernel is not so popular but we can try it with linux kernel for those who have not an opensource hard ware and for those who has purism/pine64 devices or like wait and see the demand for support for hurd.

If some body wants to take this idea away is welcome. It wil be a product for us all.
