@Tubsta 25 years ago, the only hacking possible was physical access or a moody floppy. Nowdays, the Internet, non-educated users and the shitfest entry points of web browsers and open-by-default OS configs means the attack vectors jave dramatically altered of course.

Problem with AI is even a non-AI OS can have #aislop in it due to the software that comes with it. Trying to support projects that are #aifree such as #suckless and #xlibre but most users don't care or don't understand abd will click anything to install or update.

@cocaine_owlbear I've done a pretty intensive trial of all the above and plenty more besides recently and concluded that if you want a server then #Alpine / #void / #freebsd are all fine choices.

If you need a desktop OS and you don't have time to endlessly futz and fiddle constantly then #Devuan is the best choice with #freebsd a strong contender if you have compatible hardware.

Incidentally there is a Spanish spin of #Devuan called #Vendefoul Linux which adds more desktops and innovates under the hood. I'm using the #Lxqt flavour of #Vendefoul as a daily driver happily.

I *really* wanted to use #void due to superior performance and fairly well populated repos but experienced unsolvable problems with graphics. Together with the minimal documentation and the IRC channel/forum fast to respond but with non solution I ran out of time and had to give up.

* I'm ignoring the current fad to politicise everything: #xlibre solves a problem and I could care less about the devs personal political/spiritual/preferred brand of coffee etc

@aleteoryx I think that the move re: #wayland is due to the same reasons moving away from #SysVinit was at worst a "necessary evil"…

• If sysVinit was fine, @pid_eins would not have started #SystemD (which is basically a reimplementation of #LaunchD for #Linux).
• If #Xorg was fine noone would've started working on Wayland.
  • Also #Xlibre's head maintainer / project lead is just a horrible person who's words and actions burned any goodwill amidst the originally legitimate issues beforehand.
