I genuinely didn’t know about this. I’ve been avoiding immutable OSes as I’ve had issues with distros like Bazzite in the past where packages completely disappeared from my system after a freeze when overclocking my GPU,which ruined the whole experience for me.

However, I’m interested in blend os,which unfortunately comes with gnome by default,but I will give it another try with layering plasma on it next time I try it,cause the idea of a distrobox centric distro is really appealing.

End rant.

Thanks for sharing this.

I could never get that to work for some of my devices,so I had to use virtualbox,which works very well.

Very very nice work. Thanks for your effort and willingness to experiment with new stuff. i would definitely be interested in trying it out once it reaches “production”.

I didn’t get that notification yet,but when I do,l’ll be sure as shit to donate as large amount as I can afford.

Edit: I know I can and have donated already,but just to highlight the idea

That FreeBSD club looks pretty good. There’s a niche for every niche.

Thanks for sharing this. I will install hyperland.

Same here. Ir’s very bloated. You can decide on what to install,but if you do install all that bloat,you need to be prepared. I tried their AMD GPU overclock tool and after a got a black screen, I ended up with missing packages. Immediately went back to Arch.

Edit:words

VSCodium is cool though. All the goodness of VSC,sans the “trash”.

archinstall is the best. I’ve been using it out of laziness for a while and it’s downright amazing.

isn’t Garuda an arch based distro? technically it’s not a standalone distro,but a customized arch,so I can’t see them as Gentoo,arch,fedora(rhel), debian. same is Ubuntu for example.

I do hope this had been understood as an IMHO,as usual with there sort of comments.

Interesting conclusion though:

" The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis, including a notable indication for publication bias as well as small and sometimes nonsignificant effect sizes, and the limitations just described suggest that the issue of screen time and ASD is far from being resolved. In fact, the slight superiority (although not statistically significant) of the clinical diagnosis variable over the ASD symptom variable we observed in the meta-regression brings forth the basic obstacle in this field, which relates to the directionality of the association, as discussed at the start of this work. Alongside the displacement hypothesis focused on the potential negative outcomes associated with screens, a large portion of the literature is dedicated to the opposite direction—that is, to the characteristics that draw children with ASD to engage in screen activities.16-18 As concluded in a previous literature review on this topic, children with ASD seem to “show increased interest in screen viewing… [which] begins at a very young age.”18(p308) It is also reasonable to assume that parents of children with clinically diagnosed ASD adopt a relatively permissive position regarding their children’s screen use. It is possible, then, that the observed (bidirectional) association of the current meta-analysis reflects this tendency of children with diagnosed ASD, at least to a certain extent, thus requiring us to continue searching for other explanations for the increasing global rates of ASD. Excessive screen time may indeed come at the expense of positive real-life activities and close familial relationships that could increase ASD risk. However, further research is needed to support this concern, as the increase in ASD prevalence may be attributable to a range of medical, environmental, and societal factors. "

This "Excessive screen time may indeed come at the expense of positive real-life activities and close familial relationships that could increase ASD risk. " still supports my original comment.

Thank you for providing this by the way,but it’s still a debatable topic,with no real conclusion other than it needs more research.

Yep. I had the exact same issue with steam flatpak on arch.

I installed “native’” steam via package manager and it doesn’t have this issue.

I’m not an expert by any means,but digital autism is no joke. This is just too much for their developing brains.

He should stick to Linux distros and his emacs stuff. This kind of content isn’t appropriate for him or representative of his channel really.

I think he learned from this,cause this is a rather old video and I no longer see any other sort of content like it on his channel.

Oh man,that and hotbot.

My first linux was in '98 and it was redhat 5 .2. I remember buying it from a computer shop I used to frequent as a teenager back then. i think it came on 3 cds or something like that.

The amount of time I spent compiling kernels, building x server and getting confs to work is priceless.

Ah,the good hard as fuck old days of Linux.

Of course they are. they share dependencies with other software. flatpaks bundle all dependencies,which is great for sandboxing,even though some sort of break the rule and share some,they are still sandboxed.

Unless you “firejail” or “bubblewrap” your software, security is much better OOB for flatpaks.

No hate from me,but rather a simple question? Why use preconfigured distros instead of the original,always best, with archinstall script? You can even install pamac or whatever package installer tool manjaro uses.

While I admit most of my arch reinstalls are mostly the same,I feel that archinstall script is genuinely good now with most defaults I need. The rest I can just add it in the installer extra packages or chroot post install (which is offered as a choice at the end).

I just could never bring myself to use distros that are technically the same distro with calamares slapped in top and whatnot. I mean ‘pacman -S {packages}’ is straightforward enough for me.
