Why is it so hard to decide....

Our Desktop is gonna either run

  • Gentoo
  • Void Linux
  • Alpine
  • LFS

Why?
It should run sth without SystemD that is atleast mildly stable (not breaking bcs there are to many updates at once (looking at you arch))

Some thoughts anyone?

how does gentoo not have msitools

#linux #gentoolinux

Any other #gentoolinux users wait for their compile and then get all happy like a kid who just made cookies or finished printing coloring pages or something when it's done? I'm just so excited to try out what I'm trying out!
İki gündür bazı bazı cihazlara gentoo kurmaya çalışıyorum. öğretici bir çalışma olacak gibi, mesela bir sonraki işlemcimi i7 ya da ryzen 7 ailesinden yapacak cinsten eğitici. Zen falan da olabilir tabi bilgisayar şu anda dere kurutan bir tamagotchiye dönüştü
#gentoo #gentoolinux #linux

arch uses systemd (unstable, can store your age, buggy pile of shit thats hard to customise) and artix is supporting a project run by fascists (xlibre)

you know what that means, distroswap! what should i swap to. good candidates below in poll.

my computer (late 2012 mac mini) is low-power (3rd gen i7 @ 3.3ghz, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd) and all i do it browse fedi (akkoma), rip dvds (makemkv), and sometimes make music using furnace tracker

i’m automatically ruling out anything that’s not rolling-release (out of date), using systemd, is made and run by a large corporation, has a history of telemetry, (has a core portion that) isn’t (F)(L)OSS, or supporting/being a project made by fascists. i already know openrc, but i can learn new init systems. anything that requires flatpak is automatically gone as well. something being hard to install isnt that bad to me, ive installed arch manually three separate times and converted an arch installation to an artix installation.

before you suggest ageless linux, that is based on debian, which both uses systemd and is not rolling-release.

also i should add this isnt to help me choose one but to help me with the order in which i try them all

Hace unos días instale Gentoo Linux, es mi primera vez instalandolo y sinceramente me gusta, creo que es mis distribución favorita #gentoo #gentoolinux #linux 

Aight, #fediverse

Should I switch from #archLinux to #gentooLinux now, or wait until we definitively know what's going on with #systemd and #ageVerification before making that decision?

Maybe even a #linuxFromScratch base system running #flatpaks out the wazzoo?
