yet ppl here mostly dont care about breaking the userspace and use systemd shit that breaks said space. mention it hereā¦get a hated for pointing out lennart poettering is a wanker.
Iāve only installed it a couple of days ago in a vm and Itās pretty good but a couple of things are a bit startling if youāre coming from debian.
Eg. The lack of niceties like the ll alias. Or The config you have to go through to allow SSH Some utils Iām used to like broot refuse to install properly even though the apk exists. Fz-find doesnāt exist in the community repository.
But you canāt argue with apk - so much better than apt or how frugal it is re resources.
Looking forward to getting stuck into it a bit more.
Have you checked your bashrc file to see if the aliases are just commented out? I feel like it comes standard with bash but not every distro enables it by default.
Thatās the point! It doesnāt come with bash as a shell, it comes with ash - even if you install bash and switch to it, bashrc is empty. Itās a bit bare bones, which is kind of charming, until itās annoying. Haha!
I donāt see Gentoo, Slackware and Void there. Also Arch is an irrelevant distribution among us folks without life. It should be on the left, maybe after the āare you trying to look like a hackermanā question.
Yes, if not that, Iād probably use it. Everything is very nice except for that need to plan for installing software.
Kali - well, Iāve actually met one such person and he later stopped being stupid and got into something hardware-related. Iāve been a person believing that Gentoo or Slackware can turn one into a good sysadmin for a few years.
Isnāt the main problem that most of them are proprietary, so they canāt be shipped automatically if you want to avoid shipping a distro with proprietary software?
The proprietary stuff is shipped as āfirmwareā (even though thatās not always the case) allongside the distroās kernel. My best guess is that some distro out there (Ubuntu most probably) has obtained permission from a bunch of manufacturers to ship this āfirmwareā allongside itās kernel. The rest of the distroās are just riding this train, repackaging the firmware packages (if they can do it and redistribute it, why canāt we š¤·).
I might be mistaken, but this is the only thing that makes sense to me. Maybe itās a semi-coordinated joint effor as well, like someone obtains permission to share firmware, writes to a bunch of maintainers and devs that āthis and thisā binary blob is free for redistribution and it gets picked up by most popular distros out there.
