You can’t say that here.

All my homies hate Splunk. You definitely get what you pay for with them.

I don’t think LSD is the go-to psychedelic for healing trauma. I’d wager psilocybin or DMT would be better choices. And I’d of the firm stance that these belong to everyone.

They don’t like it when you say this.

I like to use Swiss registrars.

In a world of big company bad, I feel like Valve often strikes a fair balance.

Excellent from my point of view, however my use case is niche and my installation is headless and as bare bones as it gets.

I left for Void at the beginning of the year, and it knocked my socks off.

I used MX for a handful of years after CrunchBang ceased development. I decided to migrate to just a core Debian install at a certain point, when I realized I was basically installing custom everything, and wasn’t really using MX the way it was probably intended.

It’s a good, mid-weight choice. Nothing negative to say about it.

Oh, I uhh… also bought a Panasonic AG-1980 SVHS deck. Those that know, know.

This might dictate some changes to my hardware setup, and see me eventually remove the TINK and the Magewell HDMI capture card from the mix, in a move towards SDI. TBD.

I recently revived a circa-2014 Thinkserver with a core install of antiX, and was pleasantly surprised. I went for the smallest footprint possible by installing only the core distro, and then choosing the packages I wanted/needed.

The day same day Elon is announced a trillionare, a competitor gets nerfed. 🤔

Void + Mango has been my jam.

I’ve always been curious about it, but felt like it might be a pain to try to use as a daily driver.

I’ve fairly thoroughly hardened my Void install, have an update and CVE audit workflow, and use firejail to sandbox any apps that make sense to sandbox. That feels more than enough for me.

It’s annoying for sure. I tend to adjust my expectations if the item is used (ala ebay, etc) or from a boutique outfit that makes things in limited batches.

Could someone knowledgeable tell me why desktop Linux has seemed to be ‘chosen’ in comparison to something like FreeBSD or OpenBSD?

I’m not necessarily knowledgeable, but I’ve gathered that Linux has historically been a little more approachable than the *BSDs, for the average person.

Yeah, it’s all about you, Raymond.

Thank you for the offer. Though, my intention is to just control everything via terminal.
