  • 16 GB of RAM DDR4

  • 1 TB NVME SSD

  • 256 GB SATA SSD

  • Intel UHD 630

Ah ha!

It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile module

Lol I am actually glad there aren't two completely separate implementations... Now to install the hurd kernel...

It's great and I'm using it, but I don't think someone coming from Linux Mint should use it right away. It can get quite complex even coming from Arch or Artix Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
