Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Or a new based DE, like with new libs and frameworks for making ui

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    No need to make a new distro, just package it into NixOS

    Make your own framework just to own the libs.

    Does my distro qualify for this? I already implemented my own package manager and init system in Rust, and the only thing to do is to port build scripts from Arch to my format and make an ISO.

    [–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

    Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.

    Choose a distro by the default wallpaper.

    [–] SGG@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

    In that case uwuntu for life.

    This post and comments create a whirlwind of emotion. What do I believe!?

    Nah. Push them out like rabbits do with their babies. Let them fight and see which ones prevail!

    [–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Yep, your talent can be used elsewhere. Whether it's a new program or contributions to open spurce

    [–] srestegosaurio@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    We already have NixOS, why anything else?

    (Guix is cool too).

    [–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Gentoo with an external build server. (for storage ir performanceconstrained systems)

    https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_Wiki

    Still lacking a bit of information about specific stuff.

    https://nixos.wiki/

    Unofficial should have the same information, but sometimes there is a discrepancy.

    https://search.nixos.org/options

    For any option you might need the name of.

    https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html

    For basically anything else where you just have the implementation documentation

    [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    Does it use Systemd? If so, then we need something else.

    Derive something from PCLinuxOS please, but with actual anaconda kick-starts.

    [–] tux7350@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Doesn't have too! You can just use nix as a package manager and install it to whatever distro you choose πŸ˜‰
