init system could be different, systemd, shepherd, sysvinit..etc

"base packages" that comes with different distro is way different

Guix is a notable mention for having the minimal bootstrap source. On top of that, it is functional package management, implying you can rollback safely (at the cost of disk space).

  1. wifi is less responsive than ethernet
  2. You don't even need encryption on local connection(no need for ssh) if it is never global.
  3. if you have that many external HDD, I would rather get a NAS and call it a day, it has everything configured for you as well.
  4. I don't know what big data you access on, get a larger SSD to store whatever you might visit often from your HDDs.

FS is for nubz, do these instead:

Read

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout

Write

dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sda

Nope, rust is ideal for kernel code, it really is an improvement.

Writing kernel in C is like building a house with a hammer on loosen handle, there is too much give and the builder has to tap it a few times before every strike. You could say the builder knows how to build and secure a house, but hes still a human. The loosen handle adds too much difficulty result in errors which would otherwise be avoided.

Look, programs always have issues, always have bugs. The best model on linux dostro is "rolling release", which is explicit about constantly fixing the issues.

Okay, it is up to ~40%, but the underlying changes is fundamental.
