I’ve installed Devuan #Linux with #OpenRC on my home computer. Really nice experience so far. Text-based installer but everything is really well explained and feels super solid.

Age verification compliance is another aberration of systemd. Luckily, there are alternative init systems and GNU/Linux distributions that care about your privacy.

Systemd’s New Feature Brings Age Verification Option to Linux

The optional birthDate field gives other projects a standardized data source for age verification compliance.

It's FOSS

Con lo de 'chiste' de #systemd parece que otra vez no será el año de #linux en el escritorio

Y pensar que es tan "fácil" como usar #OpenRC u otro administrador rebuscado...

After the recent news, I'll leave #systemd behind, and with #artix #linux there are many init options to choose from.

I only tried #dinit sometime ago, and had no problems with it, but there are also #runit, #openrc and #s6 too.

Any recommendations?

Devuan: Migrate From Sysv to OpenRC Init - LaskarNix

Before i break my #iftar, i have migrated to #OpenRC on my #devuan #linux

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.
