just an english enby living through the end times...

  • Nope! There used to be a login screen available for BeOS, but Haiku doesn't have this. As for disk encryption, I imagine it'll be a long time before someone ports cryptsetup or anything like that.

  • Well, it requires that my machines have disk encryption and a password, for one thing.

  • Whoa, that looks lovely!

    I can't wait for the day when Haiku is secure enough for my threat model. It seems so calm and old-school, and yet both powerful and modern.

  • The cost of the ingredients. Nothing more. I would be doing this for fun, after all.

  • I would do this fr

  • You know what? Just because of this, I'm going to switch back to DuckDuckGo.

    Why do onions and chips keep washing up on England’s south coast? Here’s the science

  • I needed to hear this. Thank you!

  • GuixSD wasn't an option on Tiermaker, but I have used it. I personally found it hardier than NixOS, but the libre-only package selection was quite restrictive and the lack of the non-free iwlwifi driver prevented me from installing it on any of my boxes other than my 2007 MacBook. I know this is the point, but it's still annoying.

    Like 9front and Haiku, I hope to daily-drive it someday; but at the moment it is sadly quite unsuitable for my hardware, workflow, and use-case.

  • For me, it's the combination of its American base, its lack of disk encryption in the installer, the fact that I've never managed to get a usable installation, and the fact that Mageia (another Mandriva derivative) and Salix (a Slackware-based distro with a similar UX) are objectively better.

    If you are happy with PCLOS, however, godspeed.

  • I used to run it on my Raspberry Pi 5 without complaint.

    Some stuff did take a while to compile, but the trick is to do other things — like make some tea, go for a walk, or watch TV — instead of staring at the terminal the whole time (I am 100% serious; this is not sarcasm).

  • Idk, autism?

  • I want to like NixOS. I love the idea of declarative system configuration, but I always found NixOS quite easy to break. It also didn't seem to like Eduroam much.

  • Well, I began in 2019, but I distrohopped a lot.

  • Here's mine:


    • Note 1: This tierlist only includes distros I've tried.
    • Note 2: Slackware would rank higher now; I made this about month ago.
    • Note 3: The "noob" tier doesn't mean the distro is bad. If it weren't there, Mint would rank higher.
