Daily LarpOS general

LarpOS is still in the planning phase. We are currently finishing up the polls and brainstorming.
For anyone that didn't read the previous threads:
We are making a redpilled, minimalist Jow Forums OS. We will be using our own package manager, a dotfile manager and many useful utilities (custom help tool, kernel config tool). We are trying to make useful and unique improvements.

You can help us on our freenode, #larpdos

These are the current polls:
Default shell:
strawpoll.me/16343055
Init system:
strawpoll.me/16343132

We are also voting on putting emacs in the base - strawpoll.me/16347149
Pros:
* Ready to use
* Basic web browser
* You can access our irc from there
* Has vi bindings
* Will come with a ready to use rice
* Will integrate with our programs
* Works in musl
* Less separate utilities
Cons:
* +30 MB
* >muh unix philosophy
* >STALLMAN REEEEEE

This is our git - gitgud.io/LarpOS (private though)
Ask away

a new era in os making: a meme distribution with self-awareness

gib me the bumps plox

Bump for interest

I think it is too early today for making a thread

why not working on clover os instead?

I'm guessing something along the lines of this

Boy, this has never been done before. I'm sure it's going to work out great.
Just what we need is another bunch of logos and some fag's dotfiles.

Attached: 1496114727751.jpg (400x562, 33K)

CloverOS is Gentoo with an installer. It reverts back to normal gentoo after a few updates
We have the logos already done. We were halfway through with the package manager but we scrapped it. We need you suggestions and we'll build a package manager on it.

>Daily LarpOS general
Don't change that too much so my filter keeps working.

Let me guess, your package manager was basically some shitty python script that downloaded a tar.gz and extracted it?

It was made in C

shitty logo == success

We will remake it later. It was made by user. They also made this one

You will have to use regex

What does it provide over any existing package manager?

I keep pushing a guix fork but they want to make their own package manager.

It should be simple, be able to do backups and clean all the stuff. Maybe add rollbacks. Most package managers are made for newbs, this one isn't

Make it bash or something simple like that. You know, minimalism. Would rather not have to download Python or Java or whatever just to use my package manager.

It will be in C. The user will be free to use a shell as long as it's bourne

Why the fuck is "hard to use" a good quality? Most package managers _aren't_ made for "newbs" you fucking egotistical cunt

just make it Musl/Linux

It is musl. Everything will be static linked
You stupid idiot.
>Apt - newb, not much features
>Emerge - hardcore, lots of useful features
Get it, dumb dumb?

I might unironically use that. Pls use EFISTUB as default bootloader

why are loonix fags always so bad with logos? always looks like some creepy pedophile shit

It will come with an installer.
Efistub will be used, if the computer is not dualbooted and is running on uefi, grub will be used otherwise

>Everything will be static linked
That's stupid. Enjoy recompiling/relinking absolutely fucking everything when an "important" library changes.

budget windows logo
in the trash

Can it have an app store?

*SNAP*

please implement a DE fully written in electron

We will have binaries for normal people and source recipes for sourcecucks

>Logo
Made by some random user. I find it minimalistic and nice looking in neofetch. We will use the op pic.
The package manager will be compatible with packagekit, you will be able to use stuff like discover and gnome software. Or we might use guix and solve this issue alltogether

How about contributing and not making fun of other peoples projects?

Impossible

Sounds pretty good. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

>CloverOS is Gentoo with an installer
And "yet another LFS" is better because...?

Thanks! :)
This isn't lfs. This is more like OpenBSD with a sprinkle of pacman on top made into a linux distro

>This is more like OpenBSD with a sprinkle of pacman on top made into a linux distro
This sounds like bullshit.

>See the "more like"?
i.e. Adding useful features not made anywhere else and wrapping it with a good package manager

anyone thought about what kind of icons to use?
would icons taken from badlogo threads be OK? I'm surprised no one has created a conceptual UI yet

Attached: Contact Sheet-1.jpg (1000x829, 141K)

icons considered harmful

Attached: portrait.jpg (500x335, 19K)

the base wm will probably be a heavily riced Awesome WM. I'd love to take those icons and pixelate them

Nah. As long as they're in farbfeld, it's fine

CloverOS already exists. Stop reinventing the wheel.

>We are making a redpilled
What does this mean

CloverOS is a shrinkwrapped gentoo install

We will try to keep it as Jow Forums as possible. No gnome, no unnecessary packages/depends etc.

>default shell: other
Great, now you'll have to make another poll instead of listing every shell in this one
>init system: systemd almost winning
>minimalist OS
>systemd
I don't have much against systemd, but it's not really redpilled or minimalist

We will probably choose OpenRC no matter what Jow Forums says.
The default shell will probably be *ash because it's small. The user will be able to replace it with his own

>Default shell:
busybox sh lacks features
since you're going for minimalism dash is the smallest acceptable shell and most efficient (more than mksh)
>Init system:
definitely not systemd
upstart isn't maintained
runit is the best choice

>Emacs
so much for minimalism if you run a second operating system over your current

repeated blows to the head with a shovel == redpilled.

>CloverOS is Gentoo with an installer.
More important is their binhost making a Gentoo installation possible without compiling anything.

>dash
agreed

init will be either openrc or runit. I have some problems with runit though on my void

>Emacs
that's why were voting. vim isn't minimalistic though. not even vi is, it's bloated

You are going to compile as soon as an update comes. If you don't want to compile, you don't have a reason to use gentoo

Every unix system should have vi by default. If it's "bloated", then give me good alternative with similiar bindings.

First of all GNU's not Unix, we don't care about posix. The closest you can get is with 'vis'

>We will try to keep it as Jow Forums as possible. no gnome, no unnecessary packages/depends etc.
Also known as Arch Linux

Alpine Linux*

Logo user here, do you have any advice on what logo I should try to do next ?

>ARCH HAS BLOATED PACKAGES
>ARCH IS A MEME
>SYSTEMD HURRRRR

And alpine is a server os

>redpilled, minimalist distro
>heavily riced Awesome WM
This is a joke right?

There will be two versions, a core version and a desktop ready version

What the hell is your problem?
>AwesomeWM is bloated
It might be, but do you really want to fuck around in dwm config.h right off the bat?

high res version here lads

this is far better than whatever wormy shit you guys came up with. how was that even selected ffs

>You are going to compile as soon as an update comes.
The Dev does that for the main repo, otherwise there is a provided make.conf to compile anything else that I want that is in the repo.

>OpenBSD with [...] pacman

this

I didn't say that we will bolt pacman on top of openbsd, it was just a metaphor

Yeah we should have Ed or nano as standard editor

nu logo

Attached: Slice 1.png (1449x570, 59K)

implying thats a bad idea

>pacman
Why not portage in that case

This but unironically
I do
It's a fucking tiny file and everything is obvious anyway. It took me 20 minutes to rice my install first time I used it.

You do not want to preinstall that. Some might not even figure out how to open the man page.

Please build luks support into the system installer

Ok

Vis requires Lua, but if they really use Awesome as a w/m then Vis becomes the best choice. (Since Lua will already be there for Awesome.)
Nano is on every GNU/Linux system nowadays so it isn't a bad choice. But I guess it is not haxxor enough for a Jow Forums distro.

Because Python. Paludis though is Portage without Python.

why not syslinux instead of grub?

you cringe you lose thread
impossible edition

*EXTLINUX

is there any benefit over syslinux?

Add steam pls into the os

>budget windows logo
the colors are contrary to the opposing sides, as a symbol that this distro opposes the norm.
source: took the colorless logo and put random colors in it

>steam on BSD
>steam on a minimal OS
No

looks great

Why are you bothering?

We're neets with all the time in the world

Woah that logo looks good
I didn't participate in the first thread but I saw it

This is why freetard shit almost always sucks.
Instead of spending all your free time improving existing FLOSS projects you're starting yet another pointless derivative that will never be useful to anyone.

Not anime enough

>never be useful to anyone
Worst case scenario everyone who contributed learned something
That can be anything from: team work, the interworkings of linux and a GNU/Linux distro, programming bazaar style, and so on

And any code can always be recycled

You can learn and do all those things without wasting time on something that will have no real world use.

>you can literally learn without doing anything

We can also learn humility by walking around naked

This is how these anons want to spend their time, live and let live

Is your reading comprehension really that shit?
Try reading the full chain before replying next time faggot, I was clearly contrasting it against existing FLOSS projects like I said here .

>we don't care about posix.
Welp, that's it, I just lost all the faith I had on this project.

strawpoll.me/16354520

a desktop-oriented Alpine Linux would be nice as an objective

This is supposed to be a minimal OS yet systemd and openrc are beating runit in the poll.
What the fuck guys.

Why use anything other than grub

>MiNImalISm

>minimalism in bootloader
Placebo

minimalism in general is a placebo in general these days.
these guys think that vi, a software that ran well on computers from the fucking 70s, is bloted.
