  • Have you made a single AUR pkg, or are you just criticizing thousands for their work without any evidence from your armchair?

  • Energy is never generated, power is, from energy conversion.

    Also "energy" and "sustainable" intersect with a word called entropy.

  • It would take years for MS to catch up to the hw covered by linux, some of it not even released in a market.

    If you are talking about specific MS licensed hw with unpublished non-open non-free-firmware that MS orders to cut off other OSs then I can see this being true.

    If you are falling for the Nvidia trap, I feel sorry for you.

  • First of all generalizing about this is totally wrong, depending on what software/libraries a program depends on for build makes a huge difference. If it is good old C that is backwards compatible (hence the size of glibc) it will work all the time. Show me one debian or arch official package that is written in C and says for glibc =2.35

    On other software proposing a library to be =ver-xxx means the packager speculates that future editions will NOT break the build.

  • Has endeavourOS enabled testing repositories as default? If not why call it bleeding edge, it is barely cutting it.

    Being a passive victim of systemd crud makes it more like a rusty bent edge if any edge at all.

  • apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt upgrade is debian's way in reconstructing a system victim of the shortcoming of poor package management that can not be healed otherwise.

    Arch but Debian based

    Jump

  • I'd be the last person on earth to defend debian or systemd-boot that has turned linux into a garage project, but could it be that you are booting the image in legacy/bios mode and attempt an EFI installation? This is hackish to do since /sys/.../efi.. doesn't exist.

    If you insure you are booting in efi mode then it should work out. If not chroot into the installation and follow the procedure of installing the bootloader manually.

  • It doesn't matter what the question is antiX is the answer.

    Apart from antiX in recent years making tremendous strides in being truly systemd free it is more stable than debian, since systemd keeps releasing more and more buggy complexities such as systemd-boot

    antiX also has stable/testing/unstable branches, but experience from the past proves that even sid/unstable is a very usable daily work system. Sid is close to arch but +5 architectures x2 32/64

  • You can’t avoid IBM/RedHat

    Let's just leave it at that, we can't avoid code published by them, it is everywhere. Both of those are subject and clear collaborators with agencies of the state that protects their existence.

    It is 100s of times better than MS, ok, yes, it is. Still, "we" have a long way to go, away from "them".

  • With arch based flavored desktop installers (arco endeavour manjaro ..) you get some GBs of stuff that is probably going to ask 1-2GB of upgrades, and then you end up dumping half the crap they came with.

    On one you start from bottom up, the rest you start from top towards the ?bottom?.

    You only learn when you start with the least needed to boot a system, have net access, and a pkg.mngr.

  • There is an advantage in arch (and all pacman based distros) that the pkg mgr is friendly and vocal.

    Say you want your system to run with vtwm you try and you get many dependencies installed, then try starting it. If it doesn't start it will tell you what is missing still.

    Usually with X is either xorg-xinit or a display manager (avoid) and adding exec vtwm into your /.xinitrc gets you going.

    I run with no logind no dbus no polkit ,, occasionally I may manually start a seatd to test wayland labwc upgrades .. and I'd rather go deaf than have to use pulseaudio or pipewire.

  • Funny you mentioned it, till very recently they needed validation by android or i-phone app, assuming all linux/FOSS programmers had one.

    Beyond that anonymity becomes impossible for phone registrations.

    Gitlab is NOT free software, and neither is GitTea, but Forgejo IS

    codeberg and git.disroot use Forgejo not gitea

  • Not MS but IBM, created a front 13y ago called RedHat, financed it with consulting subcontracts installing RHEL,Fedora,Debian everywhere, to steer all Desktop/GUI development to depend on it, and when it all met its goals bought it to create its mass consumed system to compete with MS.

    Very few attempt to maintain desktop functionality without systemd today, and upstreamers just quitely conformed to the "market'.

  • Convenience and pop-whores .. it is what capitalism prescribes. Add games, bookmarks on Edge, saved passwords, that people don't want to change ... and this is the disability they develop. Then win gets all borked BSOD and all, and they start the only way they know how, disk, format, new install.

    They buy their own prison cells and the camera that monitors them like they live in a reality show.

    I switched gearbox and driveshaft on a heavy van stuck on 20' incline 5m away from a wall. Early 70s Dodge. Scary getting under there.

    I use runit and/or s6 as init and service supevisor, no logind, no dbus, just a window manager. I have one disguised as MSwin, my friend hasn't noticed in 7y it is not MSw. She says it is as good now as it was the day I installed it.
