njal.la my beloved <3

btw I suggest checking out their blog it is hillarious

njal.la is a domain registrar, they do not and never have operated dhlsucks.com, they just provided the domain to someone and dhl contacted them to take the site down

There is no such thing as a safe email client, or an unsafe one for that matter. What's important is your provider and even then email is inherently unsafe unless you use something like PGP.

Sign up and interact with people? It's just a social media after all.

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine's package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

For me its because of privacy.

I dislike when documentations add sudo because what if I am root already or what if sudo is not installed on my machine and I cannot just copy and paste the lines because I have to avoid pasting sudo.

Also fyi ArchWiki also uses the # approach.

There are VPS services that dont give a fuck about DMCAs and pirated content. You should specifically look for one like that if this is your intent. I do not have any specific provider recommendations but you might find something useful in lowendtalk.

if you were a purist you wouldnt have steam tho and would just use wine from cli, no?

Proof?

It seems like one is showing GiB and the other GB, which are two different units.

KB = 1000B KiB = 1024B

Which doesn't seem significant but it adds up.

Think of AppImage like a standalone executable on windows, you download it, it just works and thats good. But it doesnt get automatic updates and to get a new feature you need to download it again. Flatpaks and Snaps don't have this issue and are more like traditional package managers.

Fiona should turn back to ogre.

Dont count this as a move, it is just a natural consequence of the darkness.

I could watch 2 seconds before realizing it is a vtuber. Promptly blocked.

maybe watcha.movie?

I specifically mentioned Manjaro as not recommended because of all the silly stuff they did. It will most probably not break on you, but forgetting to renew your SSL certificate like 4 times in a row does not really instill confidence.

I only ever used systemd for services and did not use any of the other features. Openrc does that and it works so nothing to handle.

I use seatd and I do not use polkit. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the default login binary does not support PAM so I had to install shadow-login.

I do use flatpak for lutris, web browser and few other things, but I prefer native packages. If the package isn't in the repos I package it myself, the package format is almost identical to the one Arch has so a lot of times its enough to just edit the dependencies and build.

Zuck takes this opportunity to attack blinded Will Smith, but due to being defederated he passes through and falls off the board.

Archinstall is great but also the wiki itself recommends manual install and I still think for someone who never touched Linux Calamares would be better.

I said some points about why Arch is good, but also difficult for beginners so I listed two of its forks and said a sentence or two about them.

On an unrelated note, strawberry is a bad choice of fruit to describe Arch distros, since they are usually in shades of blue.

My answers to your questions in order:

• No.
• No workflow.
• I have periodic backups of the entire system, but I do not organize my configs or anything like that.
• I only customize the install on my laptop and it is over time, I do not install different distros on it, just the same install ever since I got it. On any other install I usually use the defaults.

I have no complaints about the OS itself and I really like the package manager. The wiki is lacking tho, which is not an issue 99% of the time cause I can still check archwiki, but its something to keep in mind.

Post-install was similar to Arch and fairly straightforward, except for having to set up logind

As far as wayland goes it works the same as on any other distro, nothing Alpine specific that you should look out for.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

Yeah, its extremely minimal, but thats part of the appeal for me.

For automounting I just have udev rule for my usb drive, which is ok, but if I had to use a bunch of different drives for whatever reason I'd probably setup polkit.

Noted, will mention that arch docs are great regardless of distro once I have the time.

As far as beginner friendly goes I think so too, but I have seen people complain that they are too complex because of the way they are structured. E.g. the install guide will not directly tell you how to install a bootloader, but will tell you to install one and then link an article about bootloaders. I'll still edit the part about it and recommend it, people can decide themselves if they wanna use it or not.

To be completely safe I'd just use a VM, if you think that is an overkill then I suggest Bubblewrap.

Nečakala som že otvorím lemmy a prvé čo uvidím je post od Slováka, ktorý bol pridaný 5 minút dozadu.

A blog of course.

My bad, I thought openSUSE was ran by SUSE, but you are right and it is simply sponsored by them, will fix it as soon as I can. I will also mention the rollback feature and then I guess I'll also mention timeshift for Mint.

Sometimes the commands contain pipes or &&, which is a minor nitpick, but I still prefer # over sudo in documentation.

Alpine Linux

Fedora is good, but the last time I tried using it it did not warn me about nvidia drivers and if I did not know of this I would keep using nouveau, which is something most new users probably don't want. It doesn't explain everything it is or isn't doing like Mint for example which asks you about updates, codecs and drivers. That's why I consider it easy to use whilst also not aimed at beginners.

I dislike general artificial intelligence. I understand that it can be a useful tool, but at the same time the thought of being in a world where people's jobs can be replaced with robots for the sake of profit and you won't be able to tell whether you are talking with a real person or not repulses me.

Good point about the "stable vs rolling release". I will add a section about that once I have time.

FlorisBoard from F-Droid

I do not have one, I am not very artistic so I keep things plaintext and simple. But https://zeusofthecrows.github.io/stadt/ really makes me wanna reconsider, I really like how it looks and it reminds me that I should visit neocities more.

Store on the top right goes bankrupt, gets replaced with Sneed's feed and seed

LibreTorrent

OpenSUSE

inb4 but thats a corporate distro, it is just sponsored by SUSE but is community maintained

I agree that there are not many distros that are both user friendly and not forks of something else, but I don't see it as an issue, imo there is nothing wrong with forks.
