I'm looking for interesting tools to automate managing packaging and configuring everything automated.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment so I for now know these:

  • Ansible - automating many machines, using different package names as vars and package managers.
  • Bash - the most native and compatible scripting language that can be.
  • Chezmoi - for dotfiles.

For now that's it. I'm looking forward for your suggestions!

    You can make a custom distro based on one of the Universal Blue or Fedora Atomic images.

    You could also go to the bleeding edge, make a Containerfile, and use bootc and podman to build a bootable container.
