  • It was just a pun, cuz Arch is popular, I use Void actually 😊.

  • Alpine is an advanced user distro. I'm sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.

  • Yes, you are correct, reliable is the term needed there 👍.

  • Yeah, but no glibc 🤷... some of us need it, and I can't chroot all the time.

  • It's so freaking stable, it's boring 😂.

  • It's more like Arch than Endeavour though, just a heads up. Very little GUI things, especially the installer and all that. Well, the installed is TUI, so It's not that hard to be honest.

  • Rolling release and stable. And no systemd... not by choice though, they're not purists, you just can't build it for musl.

  • Yep, believe it or not, it's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there. I've used it for the past 4, 5 years or so, not once has it broken.

    There are 2 main reasons why this is. One, they don't roll with bleeding edge, they opt for stable, so cutting edge is more like it. And two, they don't have something like the AUR. There is only the main repo and that's it. The approval process for new packages is quite strict and it has to fulfil a lot of requirements, among which the software has to not just build, but also run on i686, x86_64, ARMv5/6/7 and ARM64. And not just on glibc, but also on musl. So basically, all that, times 2. Sometimes it may take up to a year to get new packages approved by the maintainers, depending on how big the package is and how integrated in the system it is.

  • Yep, I use it as a desktop OS. Why is it baffling?

  • Oh, come on, I use Void too, it was just a play on Void 😁.

  • Stability as well. It's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there.

  • I know, it was just play on Void 😊.

  • When you can't afford Arch Linux

  • Nah, it's just play 😊.

    It's better than Arch if you ask me, I use it on all my rigs.

  • Faster, more stable, no systemd, supports musl and architectures not usually supported by most distros. It's probably the most stable rolling release distro out there.

  • Wow, this is so well explained, I'm making it my personal copypasta!

  • Arch is good, no doubt 👍.

    Void is better 😁.

  • Scanner: Microtek ScanMaker 3880, Chipset SQ113

    Jump

  • Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think... someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it's supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it's not... though this was a while back and maybe it's supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.

    In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it's far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.

  • Prefetch and superfecth are just obnoxious services that waste disk space. You can safely disable them, there is no downside to not using prefetch or superfect on modern SSDs. On regular spinning drives, yes, they did make loading programs a bit faster.
