"What lies between these extremes of too easy and too hard is the sweet spot occupied by a distro called Nutyx. Nutyx is a Linux-from-scratch distribution (it's not based on any other distro) that -- according to the Nutyx website -- is "an excellent operating system for people who want to commit themselves to developing their skills further and learning how a Linux system is put together.""
"I'd never tried Nutyx before, and I'm glad I finally did. This Linux distribution took me by surprise; I assumed its difficulty level would lie between Arch and Gentoo. In fact, it's a bit of both, yet neither. In other words, Nutyx is a distro in its own right. What really took me by surprise was the installation. I anticipated a lot of heavy lifting. However, the command-line installer was much easier than I expected. At the same time, it was also different."
Nutyx is a Linux-from-scratch distribution not based on any other distro and aimed at users who want to deepen Linux knowledge. It occupies a middle ground between user-friendly distributions and extreme source-based systems such as Gentoo, combining elements reminiscent of Arch and Gentoo while remaining distinct. The installation uses a command-line installer that is different from typical graphical installers but proved easier than expected, forcing users to revisit foundational Linux tasks. The distro emphasizes manual configuration and skill development, rewarding users who seek a challenging, educational experience. Nutyx is available for free download and installation.
