Is source mage even active anyone?

Source mage is that one that aimed to do everything with bash and the coreutils, right?

They actually made interesting tools or not?

yes

This.

Are the gentoo / arch wikis any useful when installing source mage?
I struggled a lot; can't even manage to start it with a kernel version >3.0

thank you for mentioning guixsd and using an anime image

Nah, Shima Rin uses Qubes OS for maximum security and comfiness

>gentoo
>litterally have to go manually enable 30 different kernel modules to have KMS enabled for an AMD GPU

that's the point of the distro

just follow the source mage installation guide
arch and gentoo wikis are always useful resources
ask the guys on irc if you run into some issues
they're a helpful and friendly bunch
#sourcemage on Freenode

Debian
Devuan
Slackware


Don’t forget

Yes, they can be useful. I'm definitely using them as information sources for other distros, too.

-- For people who want to install Source Mage GNU/Linux --

Installing SMGL is easy, here's the simplified process:
>boot a live Ubuntu (or whatever) USB drive
>go to SMGL website and download compressed archive of the base system
>partition and mount partition(s)
>extract the archive onto the new partition(s)
>chroot, set root passwd, hostname, configure network and locale, write fstab, install grub/lilo
>reboot
>compile a new kernel (preferably the newest stable one from kernel.org)
>update sorcery, grimoires and the build toolchain
>rebuild the system (hold spells you've already built, so you don't build them twice)
The install guide will hold your hand through the whole processsourcemage.org/Install/Chroot
Do the chroot method, since the regular live ISO method guide is out of date currently.

Here's a list of common commands:pastebin.com/i4DALaNV

Gentoo wiki guides are useful for configuring the kernel.
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Gentoo_Kernel_Configuration_Guide
Tools for hardwate detection:
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hardware_detection
Just follow the parts related to kernel configuration on these pages and make sure the options that need to be enabled are enabled:
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/HDD
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/USB/Guide
Same here, depending on your GPU:
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU
Wifi:
wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi
You'll have to download the appropriate firmware for your wifi card manually and place it in/lib/firmware/ (there should be links in the article, if not, google card model linux firmware or something).
If you have more devices that require non generic drivers like a printer or wacom or something, look up the related page and enable the required kernel options as instructed.

The Gentoo/Funtoo installation process is not much different btw.
Overall it's basically the same.

None of these spell OpenBSD

not a gnu/linux distro but i agree it's good

Add void Linux to that list and it'll be golden.

i'd be hesitant to do so because void is neither mature and well established nor does it offer anything special
the package manager is basically pacman 2.0
void is basically arch w/o systemd and w/o the lead dev
a boring binary distro that offers little customization
the package manager is neither as minimalist and simple as the crux bsd ports like pkg mngmnt system nor as powerful as portage, sorcery or guix

Truly a based and redpilled poster

Why are you posting a Microsoft Surface 3 user?

>libressl instead of openssl(only distro that does this by default)
>no pulseaudio whenever possible
>only distro to officially support musl and glibc
sounds pretty based to me

t. buttmad archfag

>no pulseaudio
does it just rely on alsa instead, or does it try to use JACK?

>debian: 45% vanilla
>slackware: 99% vanilla
it's completely different thing retard

>>libressl instead of openssl(only distro that does this by default)
on gentoo/funtoo/smgl you can use whichever you like
also, smgl has no "defaults"
>>no pulseaudio whenever possible
when is it not possible?
>>only distro to officially support musl and glibc
that's nice
sure it's a fine distro, but it's still a tier below the ones in the op

>arch
gross

>Debian
bad and harmful
>Devuan
just bad
>Slackware
its ok

Larp OS

>>Debian
>bad and harmful
>>Devuan
>just bad

Why?

>falling for the source based meme

it's literally impossible to achieve maximum Linux power without compiling

>the packaging method
this is where arch got it right (and void and alpine and all the good distros)
using easily maintainable build scripts is much saner and easier to deal with than whatever the fuck this is
wiki.debian.org/Courses2005/BuildingWithoutHelper
a build script - one file which contains the build and packaging instructions, interpreted by the package manager
a good package manager, one that turns a file into a package
wanna change some make flags or fix something? ez. grab the build script, edit, rebuild
build scripts are mostly self explanatory and anyone can modify them
debian's way of doing packaging is frankly retarded
then we have
>non rolling release cycle
not a fan
>muh stable testing unstable repos
you know what happens to gentoo when you mix stable and bleeding edge?
fucking nothing. it just works
how about debian?
>dependency hells
>breakages
>"""franken-debian"""
also if you accidentally use dpkg -i on a wrong version of a deb file

i retract what i said about void
debian is an uncustomizable, boring binary distro
the package manager is only good for simple binary package management and even that is done poorly

not to mention the cancerous aidsware that is shitstemd the lack of which is the only good thing going for ddevuan

honestly, debian packaging system truly lacks both power and simplicity/sanity
while gentoo has both
sure portage itself is not simple
but writing, maintaining and modifying ebuilds couldn't be simpler
you just write that ebuild and leave the rest to the brilliant power of portage

because he's a faggot who can't admit he is wasting tons of time into compiling and fuckery with his OS and thus he tries to divide people by groups, where he surely belongs to the 'good' group, that's why.

Any distro is good and let you do whatever you want, but these fags are fighting for the
> muh minimalism
which actually is just a lack of preinstalled functionality, and
> muh 3% faster
which actually does no impact in your life. Moreover, if you don't know how to optimize your source code, your compiled firefox will work even worse than the binary one. Moreover, this 3% impact can't be even used properly even if you want, because source based OS lack of software.

I can only agree in one point: systemd, it's bad, but until it didn't turn into 1984, it's totally okay to use.

lmao
i dont waste time into 'fuckery' with my os because my os just works, unlike debian
i dont waste time compiling either because portage does that for me
>he tries to divide people by groups, where he surely belongs to the 'good' group
lol what
i just listed 'good' distros
>that's why
i explained why to the best of my abilities
>Any distro is good and let you do whatever
any distro is good for you if it works for you sure
>minimalism
lol gentoo isn't exactly a 'minimalist' os
>muh 3% faster
lmao it's not about that at all
it's about freedom, customizability, control and simplicity, but also fun (when it comes to source mage at least)
>which actually does no impact in your life. Moreover, if you don't know how to optimize your source code, your compiled firefox will work even worse than the binary one.
sure
>source based OS lack of software
lol this is the dumbest thing i read in like a week holy shit

What do I win Mr. Secret Agent?
