Holy fuck, secureblue sounds amazing.

Anyone try it here?

What's wrong with Void though? I think they clearly stated that it's against their policy.

This user did mention they did not have technical skills required to set-up and install Chimera Linux...Suggesting either Gentoo or NetBSD is genuinely an appalling choice in this case. Both of those require a lot from their users to get into a basic TTY window, after installing as there is no automated desktop environment installed. NetBSD is particularly more difficult to access because of boot requirements and the like. It doesn't run on UEFI machines (not easily) it would require techwizardry. If we want to be kind to people in the community, we have to provide better suggestions for what they are asking for.

I tried installing NetBSD yesterday and it defeated me. Wifi seems to have been the issue. Installing BSD is what Windows people think installing Linux is like.

Please do not construe this post as impugning on the skill or morality of BSD developers. BSD gets way less funding and resources than Linux so their devs can't cover everything. I'd like to try again some time, but maybe try practicing with a virtual machine before I do it for real.

True. It really sucks. I'd like to hope at least that Linus will do better than the armies of tech bros that have outsourced their brains through management, Slopya, and Tim Cook pressuring them through Windows and Apple right now. If i have to choose, Linux at least gives me more control and isn't collecting every last shred of data

I know and it pains me. But, I got used to Linux and I have used it for a while now. Best I got is even if the main kernel is tainted, there are some other aspects that aren't tainted or as tainted.

Yeah, unfortunately LLM generated code is being added in the Linux Kernel, it is going to get slopped soon enough. Without labels, it will be hard to track the slop changes vs good sane ones. Honestly, unless people are actively microdosing (chuckles) I mean writing Microkernels and abandoning the mainline Kernel and most of the Sloppy written code...It's going to be difficult to escape the influence of LLMs on even on Linux distros. I really wish the old white dudes weren't losing their damn minds after one vibecoding session with a thing that cannot think. Linus, has officially fallen into his slopper era.

Thx for the recommendation! I'll def think about supporting them.

elementary is usa and is based on ubuntu, neither of those things fill me with confidence re: ai

Thx for the links! I'll check them out!

I didn't know about Redcore, looks like a pretty neat easy onboarding for the Gentoo madness. Thanks for the link.

It also recently voted a more specific stricter anti-ai policy (90 eligible voters; 39 support, 5 accept, 1 oppose (unanimity is needed to pass (probably should change to a large qualified majority as the project continues to grow (maybe something like 90% or 95%? (I'd suggest it myself but while I plan on contributing I haven't started using Guix yet (I got a fully free computer, currently in shipping (will put Guix System on it when it arrives)) and it feels inappropriate to suggest such a change before I have contributed))))).

Must say, it looks like it won't be as complex as Gentoo (I tired installing it a whiles back and oh boi it was 40 mins of straight pain and not understanding what I was doing) but still seems a bit more complex then a graphical installer. I'll give it a shot on a VM to see how I fair.
