>>123 Linux Mint has systemdix, and it's based on poobuntu so don't use it.
Alpine isn't super hard to use but some configuration needs to be done in the command line.
I'd reccomend you either learn the CLI, or just install Devuan (there are sure to be tutorials floating around).
>>123 I've used Devuan and was satisfied but I was worried it was abandoned as it hadn't been updated for 8+ months, so make sure it's still being worked on.
>>122 >>123 >>125 I'm going to a pawn shop and picking up a Windows 10 Laptop (HP, Lenovo, whatever - as long as it has 4+GB Ram, and a 1.8Ghz processor or higher) slap in an SSD, and just install Devuan. I wanted Debian, but is has systemdicks, and I don't know if I can get rid of it.
>>126 Make sure to research the hardware (especially wifi card) and find out whether the drivers work with loonux. Most old computers work but newer ones such as those with wangblows 10 installed are more finicky with regards to wifi drivers.
??127
yeah
fuck
I forgot about that
I tried loading it onto another computer and I couldn't get it to install. Maybe I should follow some instructions next time.
>>124 Devuan has a tutorial to install from their CLI barebones edition included. After that it's a matter of googling the DE you want and installing that. You can also install it with the newer version's GUI editions which include a DE from the start. I don't recommend it though because most DEs come with all sorts of bloatware you'll never need.
>>132 That and devuan, which he references several times but never actually puts on the list. A little shameful honestly as it's a great barebones OS.
I think void linux deserves a mention since they neither use systemd or openrc but runit which I have read is both simple and fast. There was some drama with void when lead dev went mia but they said they were doing fine last I checked.
Have not tried it though as void seems pretty new and niche and has several other concerns (like it's use of musl); I like to stay safe on a tried/old and well supported distro like gentoo.
It seems possible to use runit on gentoo and other distros but openrc is much more supported.
>>119 I've researched PCLinuxOS when I felt the need to hop off the systemD, but one thing that kept me away is the serious lack of packages for non-casual PC activities. Has the situation changed?
Also, it would be nice to mention which ones are stable and which ones are (or have the option of being) rolling release.
>>689 Void was my favorite but like you said the guy who made it disappeared and the leftists took over. I guess it's fine as long as it doesn't get CoCked down.
>>696 there is still a significant learning curve switching from lincucks to openbsd, for things like the difference between GNU and BSD utilities, device names, sound, drivers etc.
t. openbsd user
>>689 Actually it's pretty decent if you want a binary distribution.
Not only runit is nice, musl is not a problem if you go glibc (they offer options which is a plus indeed), but you also got LibreSSL as default. Void is what arch users shill everyday for their distro but this time for real.
Slackware mostly just werks too. If you install sbotools you get dependency resolution (prompted). It uses SysVinint. It DOES have outdated packages atm (KDE4), but to be honest for general browsing you really don't need the latest stuff, for Firefox just use Ruario's script, the distro is great and really get's out of your way and leaves you doing what you like. Recommended to anyone that wants to go outside the beaten path for a while.
Personally the only systemd-less binary distros worth the time are Devuan and Void. I think i'm gonna cut the shit and try to install openbsd, what do you think nanons? Anything to be aware before starting?
Void is pretty comfy. The downside is if you have a small /boot, it still tries to update the kernel and breaks.
If you want an Arch-based distro (for AUR support), go for Artix or Parabola, which remove systemd. A fun side-effect is that updating breaks less often than arch linux itself.
>>128 yeah, run process tree the next time you boot up, fag. Also ntfs.d, network-manager.d, crypto-disks.d and yada-yada-yada. They specifically mention in the forum that they support systemDicks to an extent, it's not used as an init system, but SURE AS HELL it is used during work. usual systemDicks problems with suspend, shutdown and network-manager. I say fuck it, you may as well go for anticapitalista (what a nice nickname, isn't it?) AntiX (anti-christian, may be? this is /christian/ board, you know!).
> Devuan
seems abandoned, yet debian base probably supports all apt-get beauties
> Void
people were claiming it's abandoned as well, but developement seems active recently, i might ditch it!
> Slack
Patrick-God is all out for "shimming" systemDicks as a placeholder for shitty apps that rely on it; we might see the end of Slack as soon as "shimming" becomes "shilling"
> gentoo
not every software blob comes with source code released
> obscurity BlackBerry QNX
lel, get on my level!
If you're into getting shit done you MUST go for debian-based distros, because most apps are optimized and released for fooboontu nowadays.
> captcha says: "gsybsd" well alright, alright! i'll try it someday on my homeserver!
>>928 >> Devuan
>seems abandoned, yet debian base probably supports all apt-get beauties
I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Think they are just slow. Which is fine by me tbh. Debian is supposed to be a stable distro after all.
>>927 I'm pretty sure Theo will be targeted next. Then the FSF will be done after Stallman croaks. If you want to invest in your future freedom, you better learn programming now.
Also Gentoo/OBSD is (was) a thing. You could bring it back to life, but that's way harder than changing a bunch of configs and calling it a CloverOS.
And I should add the FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD have poudriere and synth, while the others are basically for binary cucks. Where it really gets outrageous is when you consider the amount of money OpenBSD receives.
Some of these distro names actually made me laugh aloud. Fatdog64 and Source Mage are really top notch.
>>931 I'm kind of hoping that a functional new kernel written in a memory-safe language will come to the scene and gain enough popularity to have good support. Until then, I'm not even that upset about systemd and my pajeetbuntu install.
>>1028 It's hard to make secure system with so many knobs, so I guess usability vs security trade-offs are expected.
Hell even without security that shit barely works. Like on my gentoo box when I watch kino in VLC I get distorted audio if the track is AAC encoded. In MPV everything works fine. I have no fucking idea how to fix it. Logs show nothing relevant, turning off hardware acceleration didn't help. I tweaked some settings, but those were useless too.
>>1031 I didn't think it was actually viable for normal use. I haven't read anything good about the microkernel approach either.
I'm glad some people are trying to create more options for operating systems. The writing is on the wall for the Linux kernel, and if we get to a point where you have to roll back to old versions or follow weird forks just to have a functional kernel, then nix distros are going to be a headache to use.
>>1048 >then nix distros are going to be a headache to use.
Is this a problem though? When a project gets popular, it start pandering to normalfags more and more, and this causes it to become shit.
There's a balance between "so obscure that it's totally impractical to use" and "so popular that it's a piece of trash".
>>1049 I AM a normalfag. I WANT distros to pander to me. I want to be able to use a typical web browser, connect to my printer, have a functional office suite, use proprietary software for work if I have to, as well as have a powerful environment for development and a package manager. Oh, and I don't want to give a dime to pay for licenses to spaghetti code H1Bs at Microsoft wrote.
If the linux kernel breaks, and the only alternative is to buy a copy of Windows or an iThing, then I'm going to shoot myself in the face twice.
Android-x86 includes Google's spyware by default. It's definitely not a good option and I'd rather have systemD than Google's D. I'd personally try to get someone to work on LineageOS x86 again.
>>1072 The biggest drawback for new or small distros is a lack of proper install scripts or GUI. If you make it monkey-easy, you'll get tons of people using it. Not everyone has time to learn the ins and outs of installing whatever packages and dependencies that are needed for the particular distro, or how one installer works vs another.
I haven't fucked around with hardly any distros just because I can't be assed to deal with the headaches of installing and re-learning package management when the documentation consists of "lol go learn computers noob."
>>1083 You seem to be confused with FreeBSD kiddo.
>>1451 Alpine is one of the few non-cancer linux distros, if (and only if) you discount the fact that the linux kernel itself is a piece of cancer. Gentoo's package manager uses fucking python, the most useless, slowest programming language on the planet.
It is quite easy to install and to administer.
>But muh command line!
Not hard to learn. Command line >>>>>>>> GUI.
>>1452 >Alpine is one of the few non-cancer linux distros
Has the usual leftist code of conduct.
>Gentoo's package manager uses fucking python, the most useless, slowest programming language on the planet
While it's true, build time usually dwarfs portage time (even if it's indeed long). There's also Paludis if you want something different.
And python is a dependency for a lot of essential stuff, these days (especially meson that's being used by mesa and others).
I won't defend Gentoo's use of python (and reliance on bash), but that's basically the only minus of Gentoo.
>>1486 >chode of conduct
welp, correction: there are no cancer-free poonix distros >build time usually dwarfs portage time
I used to hate when emerge -pqv took so fucking long to tell me what dependencies would be installed for a particular set of useflags. fucking cancer.
>>1489 you can use more or less any package manager's distribution servers over tor, a hidden service doesn't magically make it better for tor users, except I guess for the guarantee that they won't block tor.
Fuck systemd, I'm running Devuan stable though every time I've tried to upgrade to testing (Beowulf) I have failed (possibly says more about me than Devuan, hehe)
>>119 Strange Devuan is not on your list OP
>>1489 Meh, Tor onion services are not that more secure... you can also install apt-transport-https and add a mirror you trust to /etc/apt/sources.list:
>deb https://<MIRROR DOMAIN>/devuan/merged/ ascii main
>deb https://<MIRROR DOMAIN>/devuan/merged/ ascii-updates main
>deb https://<MIRROR DOMAIN>/devuan/merged/ ascii-security main
Its alive. Their site recently was hacked by so called green hat hackers, whether it was a foo1s joke is up for debate. But their $mall team is very much alive.
>>3593 >Is there are portage like feature in OpenBSD?
Dude, the idea of portage literally came from BSD. It's called the ports tree. Look it up. The equivalents to USE flags are known as "flavors".
It's not as polished by any means but if you write a wrapper script you could pretty much have identical functionality to gentoo portage.
>>3594 I use OBSD on one of my chinkpads.
Its ports system is basically useless unless you're tracking -stable's packages since it doesn't really offer any additional config options besides for the ability to slightly increase package performance with --march=native
