Estava dando uma olhada no #Nitrux. Não instalei (nem tenho máquina adequada para isso no momento), mas fiquei bastante curioso para brincar com ela.

É mais uma distribuição #Linux imutável em XFS, orientada em torno de AppBoxes (um formato autocontido e em caixa de areia, com um repositório derivado da biblioteca de pacotes do #Debian) e de contêineres rootless (daqueles que hoje podemos subir em minutos com o #Podman nos bastidores, usando o #Distrobox e o #Boxbuddy).

Ela adota o #OpenRC como init system. Conta ainda com um utilitário de linha de comando pensado para virtualização com passagem de GPU. É o tipo de sistema para instalar num desktop tradicional ou mini-PC docável, no qual há o desejo de rodar o #Windows em conjunto com o Linux.

So far, I don't think any OS I've ever run on my laptop has been as responsive as #AlpineLinux. Even running #Gnome, the heaviest of DEs with a buncha #systemd that has to be worked around in a #BusyBox - #OpenRC environment, it was super fast to boot and just quick to use.

I have to imagine that now that I'm moving away from Gnome, it would be even more zippy.

So I'm leaning in that direction.

Gentoo Linux on my mini PC: Encrypted root + BTRFS with subvolumes + OpenRC + Limine bootloader. Its a start! ✅

Distro-hopping now on pause. Month of March is all about Gentoo. Plan is to take this base system and build it up to a lightweight desktop with Wayland + TBD window manager.

Next up: Learn more about Portage/emerge.

I was going to swap out OpenRC for SystemD for my Gentoo install, but Alpine introduced me to OpenRC and I think I'm going to run with it a bit.

#Gentoo #Linux #OpenRC #SystemD

I've been having so much fun exploring Gentoo Linux these past few days! 

I now having a working configuration of Gentoo (in a VM) with a combination of root encryption + BTRFS + OpenRC + Limine bootloader. ✅

Next up is bare metal install.

Onward!

#Gentoo #Linux #BTRFS #OpenRC #Limine

think i finally found a feature that #systemd has that i actually need

so apparently #GNOME's wayland session, when run via GDM, does not read the user's .profile to update its environment variables and such -- the X11 session used to do this, but the #wayland one doesn't

on systemd, it is possible to specify user-wide environment variables with files in the ~/.config/environment.d/ directory

and there seems to be no equivalent for that in #AlpineLinux or its #OpenRC init system

"...but there are still people who use #runit #OPenRC pr #s6... but we dont talk to these people..." 🤡
