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.
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
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.
Oliver Thomas
Let me guess, your package manager was basically some shitty python script that downloaded a tar.gz and extracted it?
Ethan Gomez
It was made in C
Julian Davis
shitty logo == success
Juan Cruz
We will remake it later. It was made by user. They also made this one
What does it provide over any existing package manager?
Jaxson Ross
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
Jaxson Allen
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.
Cooper Hernandez
It will be in C. The user will be free to use a shell as long as it's bourne
Gavin Sanders
Why the fuck is "hard to use" a good quality? Most package managers _aren't_ made for "newbs" you fucking egotistical cunt
Dylan Ramirez
just make it Musl/Linux
David Robinson
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?
Christopher Brown
I might unironically use that. Pls use EFISTUB as default bootloader
Nathan Clark
why are loonix fags always so bad with logos? always looks like some creepy pedophile shit
Caleb Rogers
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
Parker Gomez
>Everything will be static linked That's stupid. Enjoy recompiling/relinking absolutely fucking everything when an "important" library changes.
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
Blake Evans
Sounds pretty good. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Austin Brooks
>CloverOS is Gentoo with an installer And "yet another LFS" is better because...?
Jayden Morgan
Thanks! :) This isn't lfs. This is more like OpenBSD with a sprinkle of pacman on top made into a linux distro
John Cooper
>This is more like OpenBSD with a sprinkle of pacman on top made into a linux distro This sounds like bullshit.
Jace Butler
>See the "more like"? i.e. Adding useful features not made anywhere else and wrapping it with a good package manager
Aiden Hughes
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
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
Mason Harris
CloverOS already exists. Stop reinventing the wheel.
Isaac Wright
>We are making a redpilled What does this mean
Jose Hill
CloverOS is a shrinkwrapped gentoo install
We will try to keep it as Jow Forums as possible. No gnome, no unnecessary packages/depends etc.
Michael Lewis
>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
Andrew Jackson
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
Brody Taylor
>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
Kevin Jackson
repeated blows to the head with a shovel == redpilled.
Austin Davis
>CloverOS is Gentoo with an installer. More important is their binhost making a Gentoo installation possible without compiling anything.
Brandon Ortiz
>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
David Torres
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
Eli Ross
Every unix system should have vi by default. If it's "bloated", then give me good alternative with similiar bindings.
Jeremiah Sanders
First of all GNU's not Unix, we don't care about posix. The closest you can get is with 'vis'
Jordan James
>We will try to keep it as Jow Forums as possible. no gnome, no unnecessary packages/depends etc. Also known as Arch Linux
Nathaniel Watson
Alpine Linux*
Christian Green
Logo user here, do you have any advice on what logo I should try to do next ?
Noah Richardson
>ARCH HAS BLOATED PACKAGES >ARCH IS A MEME >SYSTEMD HURRRRR
And alpine is a server os
Brandon Myers
>redpilled, minimalist distro >heavily riced Awesome WM This is a joke right?
Jason Murphy
There will be two versions, a core version and a desktop ready version
Ryder Baker
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?
this is far better than whatever wormy shit you guys came up with. how was that even selected ffs
Andrew Bell
>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.
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.
Nolan Turner
Because Python. Paludis though is Portage without Python.
Zachary Ross
why not syslinux instead of grub?
Henry Johnson
you cringe you lose thread impossible edition
Jaxon Thomas
*EXTLINUX
Isaac Davis
is there any benefit over syslinux?
Nicholas Ortiz
Add steam pls into the os
Kevin Richardson
>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
Cameron Gutierrez
>steam on BSD >steam on a minimal OS No
Ethan Martin
looks great
Tyler Thomas
Why are you bothering?
Matthew Edwards
We're neets with all the time in the world
Nathaniel Cox
Woah that logo looks good I didn't participate in the first thread but I saw it
Owen White
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.
David Cox
Not anime enough
Jacob Hill
>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
James Torres
You can learn and do all those things without wasting time on something that will have no real world use.
Mason Young
>you can literally learn without doing anything
Adam Reed
We can also learn humility by walking around naked
This is how these anons want to spend their time, live and let live
Dominic Diaz
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 .
Dominic Perry
>we don't care about posix. Welp, that's it, I just lost all the faith I had on this project.
a desktop-oriented Alpine Linux would be nice as an objective
Adrian Harris
This is supposed to be a minimal OS yet systemd and openrc are beating runit in the poll. What the fuck guys.
John Cox
Why use anything other than grub
Joshua Mitchell
>MiNImalISm
Jaxson Thompson
>minimalism in bootloader Placebo
Asher Brooks
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.
