gollark: I'm not sure about reproducible (the build config for a project probably won't specify precise versions for all compilation stuff) but declarative, yes.
gollark: Basically, you specify all your configuration in a declarative purely-functional language, which is then translated into actual system config.
gollark: One really cool thing I use on a server is NixOS.
gollark: Yes, because they compile the binaries on their end.
gollark: I use Arch Linux, which is rolling release (there are no fixed versions of the distro, you just update your packages whenever they get updated), very flexible (you install it manually, choosing partition layout, DE, extra software, etc), and has the AUR, a giant collection of user-packaged software.
