<ul>
<li>It is commonly used and well documented.</li>
<li>It is open source.</li>
<li>It is easily accessible from anywhere in the world.</li>
<li>Its accessibility is secure and well vetted.</li>
<li>It has a vibrant online support community.</li>
<li>It makes the applications we need to do our jobs immediately available.</li>
<li>It can be deployed in every corner of the world.</li>
<li>It can be deployed in hybrid cloud scenarios.</li>
<li>It is CLI first to help support AI and automation.</li>
<li>It offers a reasonably simple architecture given the nature of its purpose.</li>
<li>It scales massively for small to medium organizations.</li>
<li>It does its job (compute) quite well.</li>
<li>And, most importantly it has great synergy with the rest of the chuck-stack.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="linux-server-distributions"><a class="header" href="#linux-server-distributions">Linux Server Distributions</a></h2>
<p>The chuck-stack standardizes on two distributions of Linux:</p>
<ul>
<li>Debian</li>
<li>NixOS</li>
</ul>
<p>Reference: <a href="./getting-started.html#get-linux">Getting Started with Linux</a></p>
<h3 id="debian"><a class="header" href="#debian">Debian</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> is a general purpose Linux distribution. It has been around for a long time. It is community driven. It works great on the server and the desktop. It is a cornerstone for the Linux community.</p>
<h3 id="nix"><a class="header" href="#nix">Nix</a></h3>
<p><a href="https://nixos.org/">Nix</a> is a package manager available to almost any Linux distribution including Debian. Nix's most remarkable feature is the ability to create reproducible builds and deploy reproducible environments through its declarative language.</p>
<p>The power of Nix is most easily found in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>NixOS - is a specific distribution dedicated to the Nix package manager.</li>
<li>nix-shell - is a feature for creating terminal shells with specific packages anywhere Nix is installed.</li>
</ul>
<p>The chuck-stack make extensive use of both NixOS and nix-shell because they give us:</p>
<ul>
<li>A menu of deployment options that can be pieced together to create larger and more capable systems</li>
<li>A deterministic way to deploy 'all' changes or 'none'</li>
<li>Enhanced disaster recovery options</li>
<li>Simplified security, audit and maintenance</li>
<li>Simplified environment management</li>
<li>The ability to deploy a system without writing code</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>This is a long video, and it might not seem directly applicable at first - but it is!</li>
<li>We assert that configuring a homelab as described in this video and configuring an application environment for a small and medium organization is virtually the same.</li>
<li>We agree with the reasons for using NixOS service delivery (as compared to Docker and Ansible).</li>

<h2 id="linux-desktop-distributions"><a class="header" href="#linux-desktop-distributions">Linux Desktop Distributions</a></h2>
<p>The chuck-stack standardizes on two Linux desktops:</p>
<ul>
<li>PopOS Shell</li>
<li>Gnome</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="popos-shell"><a class="header" href="#popos-shell">PopOS Shell</a></h3>
<p>We strongly recommend PopOS. We have used it for more than 2 year with great success.</p>
<p>Note that it is currently in transition from gnome-based to an independent, pure-rust desktop. Here are the important details:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://system76.com/pop/">PopOS</a> - what we currently use...</li>
<li><a href="https://system76.com/cosmic/">PopOS Cosmic</a> - what we will transition to when released beyond alpha...</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="gnome"><a class="header" href="#gnome">Gnome</a></h3>
<p>Gnome is a good and well understood Linux desktop. Note that Gnome does not configure <code>super + t</code> to open a terminal by default. This may seem silly; however, to us, it is a big deal to have the terminal at our fingertips from anywhere and everywhere.</p>
