I see you’ve been rummaging around in my post history huh! Good one

By «news» do you mean detailed and confidential schematics for random vehicles and weapons never seen before???

[UPDATE] The results are in:

I decided to post my update as a comment because I don’t think it’s that important. This post gained quite a few down-votes (understandable), and I wouldn’t like to be a bother anymore.

Now, the first “distro” I thought about when I saw the card was definitely Linux From Scratch. I felt validated when I saw your comments, however I shall explain a bit more further down. Another one I thought about was Gentoo Linux. To my surprise it wasn’t mentioned. Lastly, while I was writing this post I definitely had FreeBSD in mind, so I included the “UNIX-based” requirement.

I just wanted to read your opinions and in the end I’m really happy I did.

Now, you commented, you voted, and the top 5 distros that you recommended were:

• FreeBSD: 63 Votes (Very devilish!)
• LFS: 55 Votes (Would make me cry blood)
• NixOS: 28 Votes (Very fitting to the original meaning)
• Void: 25 Votes (Interesting…)
• Kali: 23 Votes (I would have never thought of that)

The obvious winner is FreeBSD.
Now, I found this to be incredibly hilarious and immediately downloaded the iso image into my Ventoy. I went through the whole installation process and even got myself a minimal KDE plasma Desktop Environment. However, I was unable to use the touchpad on my Thinkbook laptop (work-issued) and that completely killed my joy. I tried a couple of fixes but I realized this wouldn’t be as straight-forward as I had hoped, which would mean a lot more time invested trying to learn and fix it, and immediately dropped the towel. I will be back to FreeBSD, this isn’t over!
However, for the time being I moved on to the next item on my list: Linux From Scratch.

After reading the LFS Book for a while, I came to the realization that this would be a huge undertaking and that I’d need a lot of prep-work and further reading. I’m not giving up quite yet on the LFS, but It’ll have to wait. I said I had time, but not that kind of time.
(The fact that I even considered LFS after a silly little defect from FreeBSD makes you wonder if I’m mentally stable, but yet again, I’m choosing my new distro based on a tarot card I got two weeks ago at a party while I was piss-drunk, so, uh)

For the time being I’m sticking with NixOS. Upon reading this particular comment section I can tell it’s got a lot of dedicated users (and preachers), which is very exciting. I did some reading about Nix and it sounds fascinating. I have now installed NixOS on my Laptop and got everything working fine. Now it’s just a matter of learning how to properly use it. In the future I’d like to carry on with the LFS installation and bring the Nix package manager along, I believe it’d be really cool. Right now I must learn more, so I would appreciate any advice and resources.
I would say NixOS fits well the description of the “Death” card on tarot because it represents a new beginning and a completely different mind-set. So yay! Thanks guys and gals. I appreciate your recommendations.

Honourable mentions (Distro recommendations I found hilarious):

• Temple OS: 16 Votes
• Ubuntu: 15 Votes
• Hannah Montana Linux: 11 Votes
• Windows: 4 Votes

You might think I’m a bit of a chicken for not following through with the top winners, and you are most definitely right, but I still have to learn more and I need that laptop for work on Monday, so, uh, sorry

I will consider it

[hmm… emoji]

So far, in no particular order, the most voted distros are:

• OpenBSD
• NixOS
• TempleOS(pls no)
• Linux From Scratch

I’ll be coming back tomorrow to find out what my next distro is going to be. I’m so pumped now that I just went and purchased a new SSD for this.

Do not tempt me! I shall return tomorrow and check on the general consensus.

I am confusion

I know a dedicated user of Mageia, that fact alone surprises me every day

I use audacious with a winamp skin.

Thanks, idk what happened to my phone, I got audio now. Really cool btw

Is it me or there is no sound on this video? I tried opening it on a browser tab and in Pipepipe and neither produced a sound.

Today I tried to write bash (I think)

I grabbed a bunch of commands, slapped a bunch of “&&” to string them together and saved them to a .sh file.

It didn’t work as expected and I did not, at all, look at any documentation during the process. (This is obviously on me, I’ll try harder next time)

My employer doesn’t want it and doesn’t need it. We offer programming courses and stuff like that, and my company got a deal with Oracle to offer these kind of certificates to our trainees as an added bonus. I’m being given the chance to participate as well just to inflate numbers or something.

Have you tried emptying your lungs? It sounds crazy, but you actually don’t have to completely fill your lungs with air, just enough so that you can last a good while underwater and so that you’re no longer buoyant. It takes some practice, and you might panic a little bit at first, but once you get used to that, it just becomes second nature.

The only times I hold as much air as possible are when I’m trying apneas (holding my breath as long as possible), but I stay near the surface for that and I remain inmobile. (Also, make sure there’s more people with you and that you’re signing that you’re fine)

Interesting, I had no idea about any of these and thanks a lot btw, I was just being lazy when I posted the comment

Me neither, what are these?

Is Groose the new chad?

Precisely, and if OP wants software done quickly and the way they like it, then OP should consider making their own software, and stop harassing people.
