I started using aeon, which comes with a specially-configured snapper integrated with systemd and the package manager, a while ago. it’s so nice to have a system that does automatic updates, has automatic rollback, and cannot be broken by using it like a normal user.

it’s not completely stable yet, but what’s there is really cool. heads up if you want to try it that it’s made to be the only os on your machine and so will wipe all partitions on the drive you install it on.

doas

literally 1984

as i said, flimsy numbers.

what interests me with gabe’s comments at the time is that he didn’t have the same complaints as the “normal users”. he didn’t comment on the UI basically at all, which makes sense because steam’s ten-foot interface released about the same time as metro. the ui was never the main problem with W8, it was the vendor lock-in that came from the microsoft store.

okay, but the version of sudo everyone uses is over 130 000 lines of C.

distrowatch puts debian at number 4 or 5 consistently in its popularity graphs. which is also a rather flimsy number, but it’s something.

debian is one of the most common distros

alpine doesn’t have sudo. hell, neither does debian, by default

why try to recreate the bloat of sudo when doas exists?

if both are installed, yes. endeavourOS removed Xorg when wayland was added.

i adore this web design

manjaro really is a trap.

i went mint, debian, opensuse, manjaro, endeavour, aeon. my hacker aspirations were tempered by permanently breaking my awesomewm configuration.

when endeavour switched over to wayland my session just completely stopped working. couldn’t get past the login screen. had to reinstall xorg from tty. not touching that again until i get new hardware.

they’ve never talked about him at all except in the aftermath of the shooting.

i never said he was destitute or self-taught. you need skills to be an os dev. the first few paragraphs there is what i based my post on.

there’s no way for me to answer that

i’m not talking about american pundits.

the media here has never shown any kirk debate, and has only talked about him as a “american right-wing debater/influencer”. personally i was aware of him only as that too, and only saw how heinous his opinions actually were when i googled him after the event. and i, along with most other swedes, have a fairly high regard for our public broadcasting institutions, and since most american internal squabbles don’t influence us until they become external, we don’t really care to dig deeper. i did because i’m active here, but kling probably didn’t.

the guy is an ex-drug abuser. he started doing serenityos as therapy, and serenityos needed a browser. until you get to the modern stuff, it’s basically just a paint-by-numbers api implementation on top of his existing code base.
