cool

Give it a few years then we have some sort of useable BSD and another couple years and it will run KDE plasma.

In future people will say I use TempleOS btw

"very old thinkpad" man, that's a supercomputer compared to my X200S running Void Linux, haha

I know some c, if I were to contribute/help you in Quantix, would you recommend me learn c in a better way first or can you give me some pointers ? I have never done software development and I am in my second semester.

Year by year there are more people involved in FREE SOFTWARE. On the contrary, more current OSS contributed are going away from the software essentially required by the big corps and show the finger to them. We have 2 separate factions in the world of OSS: 1. the FREE SOFTWARE, like Linux kernel, Gnome desktop, MariaDB, PHP and many nice apps to be used by normal people 2. the Open Source software like MongoDB, Redis, Graylog, and many many more that provide zero benefit for normal people and small businesses. The 1st faction, gains constant new people, and keeps solid. The 2nd faction, because in the last years we realised how the corps are treating us, people that contribute for free to their OSS software, we are now showing them back the finger, just as they showed it to us with their shitty Business Open Source licenses. The only real FREE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE is the one of communities only, and with GPL, Apache and BSD licenses families. The rest, can go away forever, we ain't need corps, we ain't need them.

4chan said Arch is a distro for pedos, is that true?

Hey! Where can I find this wallpaper?

I'm envious of the person who made it for having all of this free time. Good for him.

The great schism. I for one am TempleOS orthodox

On the contrary, I don't think this is a good idea. A lot of FOSS developers are not actually good developers, but instead contribute because they feel forced to either forced to for maintenance because nobody else will pick up the work and it'll cripple a lot of other projects and work, or because they feel forced to because everyone gives the questionable advice "contribute to FOSS for portfolio/CV projects". Additionally, FOSS is currently suffering from what I'd call a software pollution problem. You see this especially well with JavaScript Frameworks(which are a kind of FOSS). Every year a bunch of these frameworks get released, used and adopted, and every year a bunch of them also die off, and have maintenance killed. It's symptomatic of a broken web ecosystem, but also of how poorly tested the ideas and the designs are before they're used in the wild. It is very easy to have an idea, and relatively easy to execute on i., but to actually know it's good from a long time and a lot of use, takes a lot of time and most people want to throw whatever they have out there) Regarding money, eh, there's a lot of approaches to it. Selling compiled versions of your FOSS(Aseprite does this), selling support for server software is another. Additionally you don't really need to make implementations of things FOSS... an example of this is the difference between the IDTech engine and DOOM. DOOM itself isn't FOSS, but the engine powering it is and was used as a stepping stone for a lot of graphics improvements(moreso with the Quake engine which has its DNA in most modern 3D games). The other problem with FOSS is that a lot of the people preaching it, are imo ideologically extreme- this kind of extremism doesn't lead to pragmatic, sensible or well thought out choices(which as an engineering discipline, is a requirement). Additionally the other side of the coin too, is that preaching FOSS, tends to attract people who want to be preached to. In other words, advertising or propaganda, attracts people who it works on. It's from my experience and opinion, that these sorts of people easily buy into whatever's trendy at the time, and not good practice(people who use all the new features from the latest C++ version just because they can). With most things that are trendy... time will make the best argument for or against them. The last reason why, is that a lot of FOSS devs are treated like garbage- I had this experience from people who demanded me to upgrade a small library I wrote, and started cussing me out because I said I wasn't interested in upgrading it and that I'd be happy to review any PR they made and inviting them to fork it if they wanted.

I use FOSS because they don't add bloat to software. They just do what they say they do. And they generally work better than the alternatives.

hey bro what DE are you using it looks clean

"shrineos is a distro full of sin" hahaha

The repo is archived already. Wtf.

I play all my games on linux

heresy

Nfw temple os has distros now😂 I might have to switch

As much as I want to do that I need to put food on the table as well, FOSS rarely bring any money, you put lots of work and the only things you get are: corporate entities that bash you for not fulfilling their requests, people that force their opinions and guidelines on your project and the rest of freeloaders that steal your work and put their name onto it. Thanks, but until something changes I can't put the effort into that.

The FOS devs we need are high end developers. With all due respect, not just some random 2 month bootcamp dev. It can be an academic person or self-taught, that does not matter, as long as the person has got a solid foundation. Take kernel development for instance. You really got to know what you're doing, entering that is difficult and reward is low. Professionally there are not many opportunities to be made if you are in a country where zero businesses are in need of a Kernel dev. I'm happy that there are Linux devs, because I love Linux. Gotta pay those bills, being a FOS dev is just not going to help out with that unfortunately. There are success stories, but there is lots of luck and timing involved, there is no clear template to follow. What do you think?

bro what's your zsh theme

This feels like a general "why I use linux" argument over archlinux At its core, linux is just the kernel, the only thing separating distros is 1. The package manager 2. The support All distros are the same at its core

I moved to Linux, The Mint distro. About a month ago. I love it! Learning how to fix my own problem though trial and error helps me understand what the problem is, besides just being a problem.

Jesus please fix the terminal font, it looks so thin and barely readable.

i was chilling on arch for a about 6 months but honestly having to update so often started to annoy me. especially updating aur packages having to recompile it everytime. now i use debian and its perfect for me but i understand why people like arch

arch is good but.. i got tired of tinkering with it so i hopped on to fedora

linux is for nerds

Joke but true

I like debian, opensuse, and void.

Sorry man lets review some statistics. Open source developers getting paid by foundations are the lowest paid in the industry. Open source software, benefits only the consumer and the developer spends thousands of hours just to be told their software isn as good as x or buggy. No tech billionaire in the last 20 years was made through their software being open source from the get go, only after they made millions did they bother entertaining open source. The idea that open source is good for capitalism is laughable. Developers want to make money, they want to be paid for their art and they deserve it. Want to make a real solid change, form a company and make software that doesn't have all that "bloat" as you put it.

Recommendation from a long time linux user here! Set some aliases for common commands (pacman, vim, etc) along with aliases for common directories like your documents and such. It makes navigating in your terminal emulator way faster and it wasn't something I considered for awhile.

Sigma 🤡

Wanted to contribute to open source, but never learnt to program. Would be fun to engage within a community and share useful programs that people need.

despite the thumbnail, I thought this was about the Windows DWM (Desktop Window Manager) when clicking. I'm disappointed

i use nixos btw

no i will use void linux

De-snap Kubuntu LTS is the best for software development.

Hey I wanna ask how stable is Arch, if there's a super meeting would you trust it enough to run it on Arch? Cause I'm running Fedora because it's more beginner friendly, and I'm now thinking about switching to Arch.

I switched FROM Gentoo to Arch. I used Gentoo for 10+ years, and did a lot of professional work customizing it. Essentially using it as a base for a custom branched kinda distro -- inside video lottery terminals. I had a whole build system for it too, scripts to compile everything from source and to package it up all nicely. I don't enjoy Gentoo these days.. It made sense for me to use it then, because we had to prove and show 100% of our source to our clients and that it resulted into the binaries we supplied them. Gentoo made that easier. I love messing with my OS and make it do precisely what I want it to. That doesn't mean I enjoy sitting around waiting 4 hours for my browser to compile because it got a little security update either. The only real thing I appreciate in Gentoo over Arch today is a mostly philosophical one -- Their init systems. Gentoo uses OpenRC and Arch ... uses systemd, which I DO NOT LIKE OR WANT on my system. I just don't agree with what it's trying to do. I keep my system really minimal. I like to know what's happening and to have next to nothing running. I don't need a complex init. I don't want a complex init. I just want it to boot and leave me alone. Just give me a little script or two that maybe runs a couple other scripts. Nevermind all this hooking into everything into the system like a giant spiderweb strangling everything. Like you, I don't even run KDE or Gnome or anything. Just i3 as my desktop. I'm always doing most of what I need to at the command line anyhow. Like you, I even run the very simple 'st'. Anyway. I really don't understand how a nearly perfect distro like Arch does almost everything just the way I like it... except this major point. Sure, I understand... it's what people are using these days, it's what's popular.... but that doesn't mean it's good either, or that it's the correct way to do things.

Linux mint is a great entry for those with basic technology literacy

Use nix, my favorite yet

good reasoning, but I still prefer Gentoo

I have infinite shell loading on my 2005 laptop from arch32 installer. I don't have such problems on any non-systemd OS'es. After all i hate systemd for being retarded on single-core CPU's. Now i use alpine linux on this laptop, not that long, only 1 year. I have 360mb RAM in total (128+256mb), and mostly i have like 10% RAM usage. About CPU, it's 1% when i have code editor and music player opened, my cpu is amd mobile sempron 3000+ (1.8ghz, single core, 32bit). I even managed to open web browser on that and watch some youtube in 480p quality.

Wasn't this video about Arch Linux?

Almost a month into my Linux journey. An ex Windows user. My journey so far: Nobara - NixOS (im an idiot) - EOS - NixOS (double idiot) - Fedora - Arch. Been on Arch for a week, and yes, I distrohopped way too much 😬 I like tinkering, I couldn't get used to Nix, and installing Arch helped me understand Linux more. I'm loving Arch so far. Big community/documentation, opposite of bloated, and fun to tinker

Nope! I clicked on this because I was curious what you thought the best OS was. Linux huh? 😆 Sorry, sorry, not trolling. I'm sure a lot of folks think the same way, then again a lot of other folks, think Windows is the best. Truly subjective. I've tried both, and while I use, play on, trouble shoot, and supported the later since the 90s, until 2010, I know it ain't the best. Then again I've used Linux on and off since the 90s and it ain't either. Linux bets Windows with Security and networking, but Windows beats Linux pretty much everywhere else. OS/2 was very good back in the day. I heard AmigaOS, and BEOS were pretty good too, but Windows killed both as well as OS/2. Then there's MacOS. Don't know much about it, other than it's a modified BSD, which the later is more secured this Linux, though if I remember correctly isn't as easy to install and use. Again I'm not trying to start anything. Just clicked on the link out of curiosity and was hoping to find a new or obscure OS that I haven't explored it. Good luck with the channel. Sincerely. Later.

I used arch btw

I personally use opensuse tumbleweed, in my opinion its much more stable and the open build service is objectively better than the AUR.

I agree with you on using linux, but I don't really know why specifically you think Arch is better versus say, debian, or fedora. Also, saying things are "lightweight" and "not bloated" don't really mean anything to people who don't already know why linux is so much nicer.
