Charlatan,

It’s definitely hard to beat: )

Charlatan,

Thanks for the heads up. That is something I’ve taken into consideration. I am curious how long I’d last on musl.

Charlatan,

Thanks, Sid hasn’t been on my radar. Ill go have a look. I happen to have a ZFS box up in rsync.net running Debian, and it’d be nice to learn more about CLI in the deb world.

Charlatan,

Ah Chimera. I’ve been looking at that the last two days. I am really tempted to give it a shot. My laptop is mostly for playing around these days. Are you running it?

I forgot about Arch. I ran Manjaro for a year and didn’t have the best experience. 'Course I was pretty green on Linux then.

Charlatan,

I haven’t honestly. Isn’t that one that takes forever to install because it builds the packages as you install the system?

Charlatan,

I know, so cool. I am open to learning, but I am not sure I am in for that depth of education :)

Charlatan,

Great suggestion. A few of the distro suggestions here are in the deep end of the Linux pool, so it’s probably best to build them virtually to see how I want things setup.

Charlatan,

I never took a swing at musl, though I did kick it around a few times. I used my laptop for work for years and couldn’t afford to lose options for some apps. The gloves are off now :)

Charlatan,

It’s soo good. It’s taught me most of what I know about Linux. And, without getting into a battle over inits, I just love the simplicity of runit.

Charlatan,

Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I’m inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.

Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

Charlatan,

Void is just soo good.

  • Runit is super simple and makes sense to me. - I get to build the distro the way I want it.
  • I’ve learned a ton about the inner workings of Linux using Void for the last 3 years.
  • You’re right about packages, but I’ve not had issues as I’ve found flatpacks or appimages for anything not offered.
  • Xbps has spoiled me. I HATE using almost every other package manager. They’re all so slow and cumbersome.
Charlatan,

Loads of FLAC music, track / map storage for offline camping / offroad, offline music downloads from Deezer (Hi-Res) for playback without network.

Charlatan,

Wow. #1 ‘get off my lawn’ post of the day. There is nothing wrong with auto… It’s the drivers.

Charlatan,

Yeah. So let’s not paint the whole world one color. Just because it doesn’t meet your needs, AND you simply don’t like them, doesn’t mean everyone else needs to be like you.

0 to 60 doesn’t mean shit in a truck. Why did you buy one in the first place? Cornering at speed?? … Not what trucks are meant to do. Why the hell would you buy one??

Glad you like your car. I’m sure it’s nice. If you’re getting 18 MPG, you’ve managed to accomplish what many late model trucks cannot… Get under 20mpg.

Disclosure: I own a 2003 F250. I don’t park like the asshat did in the pic, and I don’t care how fast my truck goes. I don’t roll coal and I run biodiesel to reduce emissions.

Charlatan,

Void Linux. Super stable and offers an easy and lightning fast package manager. I’m not sure of your use case but it has been great for me on an older Dell precision laptop for work.
