Void Linux, runit is the best init system.

>suck less
>can't even crop an image properly
sounds about right

You should install Arch Linux. These are the no-fail install help for Arch made by grug, for grug. Better than the Arch wiki

linux is the best linux distro.

Rebecca Black Linux

I don't know, but I know the worst distros: Ubuntu and Mint

slackware, of course.

CRUX easily

It depends on you.

Kubuntu / Lubuntu / Lubuntu+LXQt

*guixSD

slackware

Gonna try linux for the first time. Don't know any kind of coding. Should I go mint or ubuntu?

lisp is nicer than the nix dsl but freetardation will always hold that project back

Kubuntu

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

That this reply is not under the first 10 makes me really fucking sad. Was has Jow Forums become?

I'll try this. Thanks

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

It's depends on your needs.

For me Void Linux is close to the ideal distro.
I only miss Wine on MUSL.

Time to go home lad.

Inferior init systems.

BSD obviously

*hugs you*

OpenBSD is a meme
>Filesystem
default FS doesn't even support SSD TRIM, and I don't think OpenBSD supports anything modern like ZFS or BTRFS.
>Security
"Only two remote holes in the default install!!!!!!!"
Yay!
I hope you realize that this literally only applies to a base system install with absolutely no packages added. In other words, not exactly representative or meaningful towards... anything really
>Sustainability
A few years ago, OpenBSD was actually in danger of shutting down because they couldn't keep the fucking lights on. How could anyone see this as a system they could rely on, when it could be in danger of ending at any time?
>Standards-compliance
"B-But OpenBSD is written in strictly standards-compliant C! Clearly that's better than muh GNU virus!"
So you're not allowed to create extensions to the standard? You should only implement the standard and nothing more? Keep in mind that this is nothing like EEE, as the GNU extensions are Free Software, with freely available source code, as opposed to proprietary shite. People should be allowed to innovate and improve things.
If you're gonna be anal about standards-compliance, then why let people make their own implementations anyway? Why not have the standards organizations make one C implementation and force everyone to use it?

Gentoo obviously

The maintainer of Void literally disappeared...

Just install Ubuntu then get back to working.

a bootable usb should work fine

This says a lot about the current state of Linux. Void, without a lead maintainer, is better than most distros

LFS

Solus!

Void

Yo guys,
I've been using Arch for a year or so and I love the customizability and everything but something has happened recently.
I've been getting into Emacs (Spacemacs) and I've discovered that I can do within it a lot of things that I do with my Arch configured programs: text editor, file manager, terminal emulator, even music player, etc.
So I'm thinking about ditching Arch for a simpler (pre-configured) distro and just use Emacs for all these functionalities in it. It even is portable, so I can use it when I need to use Windows or another PC.
What distro do you recommend me?

ubuntu mate

>calling Systemd an init system.

I was gonna try Void but I took at look at the package repos first:
So many packages are significantly outdated. Why can't they get their shit together?

Why does Jow Forums still have this discussion? It's completely based on your needs.

ubuntu, any flavor you prefer.

Currently looking for a stable distribution, coming from Void, any ideas that'll be close to Void ?

For a server: CentOS
For a desktop: None.

> Unlike trillions of other existing distros, Void is not a modification of an existing distribution. Void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch.
Basically, pick any distro that has a stable branch.

isn't void stable? i'm a normie, so i have no idea. i started on slackware in 1994 and then moved on to red hat, then mepis, then ubuntu, so i go for distributions that aren't obnoxious time sinks since i have a social life.

Goddamn. Why Jow Forums have the best pastas.

it's stable because the packages are stale

Linux described in 1 sentense.

Chrome OS will soon be a serious option

Let me enlighten you. First of all you shouldn't use Linux.
Instead you should get rid of the metal roads that goes to your cpu, except for the ones that provide power to it, lmao. Then you plug a few wired in there and start inputing electric signals directly into your CPU.
Then you can create the ultimate botnet and hack everypne on the planet, because you will have access to the real data that is going on at the core. You will actually see the Matrix.
Your'e welcomr, have fun;).

It doesn't matter, it is just one guy out of a whole team.
Not enough manpower/dedicated maintainers, it is really easy to add a package to their repos (just git clone, add the recipe and ask for merge) but that means some things might end up unmaintained.
Furthermore, they aim to build for musl and glibc wherever it is possible and might hold an upgrade if they need to fix musl, or patch stuff for LibreSSL.
