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.

So I have been contemplating virtualizing my day to day and running it on my host with the thought I could upload it to a cloud for various reasons. Thing is I would like to use a virtual machine but I want something that could be moved anywhere without any modification. So I sorta feel I would have to go with a container but again I sorta prefer a standar vm. Im just looking for peoples thoughts.

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I'm doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions ...Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I'm thinking of adding my server in it too.
