0x4E4F,

I had to work around it so that it doesn’t send me to (disk? network? not sure anymore) setup again and again.

Never happened to me. How long ago was this?

0x4E4F,

No, it’s not Arch without systemd. Arch breaks a lot more than Void does. Ask Void users when was the last time a Void update broke their system. I use it as a daily driver, plus for a lot of other things (at work and home) that are considered mission critical. I would never use Arch for that. Also, it’s faster than Arch, it supports A LOT more architectures than Arch does… or any other Linux distro for that matter (LFS excluded).

  • It doesn’t use systemd, it uses runit.
  • The repo is full of any software you might need, including proprietary (through xbps-src).
  • Everything just works, if it doesn’t it’s probably your fault.
  • It’s a rolling release distro, yet focused on stability and usabilty, so you won’t get the latest and greates, but instead builds that are known to be solid. For example the kernel, it’s not the latest, as is with Arch, but it’s maybe one or two minor versions behin. The same applies to software, they’re known to jump versions if the current build proves to be unstable.
  • Lightning fast boot up. It’s also the fastest distro there is, apart from the *BSDs.
  • Compiling and testing is a breeze thanks to xbps-src.
  • A lot of tools and scripts that make building templates for software not in the repo very easy.
  • Supports a lot of architectures. NetBSD is the only other POSIX OS that supports more architectures than Void.

There are other things, I’m sure, but these are the ones I can think of ATM.

Do you know any other distro that’s not LFS or Gentoo that still supports x86? I said a lot, not everything. Most distros don’t support anything below 64-bits.

A fork supported PPC up until a while ago. That project halted though. There was a new spin on it, can’t remember the distro’s name though.

xbps-src can cross compile for MIPS. There are no packages in the repo for MIPS though.

0x4E4F,

Not even console locale did on my notebook, have to fix that setup sometime.

What exactly did you do that you couldn’t change your locale? You do know that you have to reconfigure glibc-locales afterwards.

And the installer is pretty barebones and a bit buggy.

What exactly is buggy about the installer?

Nononono, there are only two POSIX certified linux distros: K-UX and Huawey’s EulerOS.

POSIX certification costs money. There are a lot of distros and OSes that are POSIX compatibe, just not certified.

0x4E4F,

I meant as in a real OS, not a stripped down version meant to run as firmware.

0x4E4F,

Try Void. I was aiming at Arch as well, but then I stumbled upon Void… never made the switch to Arch.

0x4E4F,

But also OpenWRT.

Oh, come on 🤦.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

Have to agree on that. SSD and RAM prices have gone down significantly.

0x4E4F,

Third world countries: We must 😔…

0x4E4F,

Some pretty cool things came from garages and drinking/smoking 😉.

0x4E4F,

Since drinking is most likely their first hobby 😂.

0x4E4F,

Mounting it in fstab is a bad idea… in home even worse.

Just make some desktop entries with the shares and that should be enough.

0x4E4F,

Here, 25GB BR is about $4. DVDs are about $0.20.

0x4E4F,

Maybe just the basic GNU tools that come with every dostro, but other than that… yeah, that is ancient.

0x4E4F,

And the very same reason why everyone who isn’t tech savvy left Lemmy after the first wave… sorry, but that’s the cold hard truth.

0x4E4F,

Well, at least the horses had a good time 😂.

0x4E4F,

Whatever it is, my gut tells me I’m gonna like it!

0x4E4F, (edited )

I thought most of the FOSS ones were like libraries, just drop them in the adequate shared directory and that’s it 🤔. You could check dependencies with ldd and look for the adequate package with xtools.

0x4E4F, (edited )

I’d suggets Void. It has Ardour in the repo (not Reaper though) and PiperWire with JACK should work out of the box. If you want Reaper, you’d have to install it manually though. I’m working on a template for Reaper, but it’s not finished yet. If you’re willing to wait a month or so, you’ll probably have Reaper in xbps-src as well.

0x4E4F,

Plugins as in VSTs?

0x4E4F,

Roxy Raye… Legend…

0x4E4F,

Try pr0n sites, they usually have stuff like that laying around.

0x4E4F,

… and I’ll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…
