I use Migadu but you need your own domain for that and also it is paid.

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine’s package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

I could watch 2 seconds before realizing it is a vtuber. Promptly blocked.

That thumbnail is completely ruined by the soyface.

Think of AppImage like a standalone executable on windows, you download it, it just works and thats good. But it doesnt get automatic updates and to get a new feature you need to download it again. Flatpaks and Snaps don’t have this issue and are more like traditional package managers.

No need to give permissions, you can place the files directly into flatpak’s directory. I don’t know the exact path because I use librewolf but it is something like:

~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/.librewolf

Just look for folders with firefox/mozzila in its name.

OpenSUSE

inb4 but thats a corporate distro, it is just sponsored by SUSE but is community maintained

I agree that there are not many distros that are both user friendly and not forks of something else, but I don’t see it as an issue, imo there is nothing wrong with forks.

A blog of course.

For me its because of privacy.

It seems like one is showing GiB and the other GB, which are two different units.

KB = 1000B KiB = 1024B

Which doesn’t seem significant but it adds up.

There are VPS services that dont give a fuck about DMCAs and pirated content. You should specifically look for one like that if this is your intent. I do not have any specific provider recommendations but you might find something useful in lowendtalk.

I dislike when documentations add sudo because what if I am root already or what if sudo is not installed on my machine and I cannot just copy and paste the lines because I have to avoid pasting sudo.

Also fyi ArchWiki also uses the # approach.

To be completely safe I’d just use a VM, if you think that is an overkill then I suggest Bubblewrap.

I do not have one, I am not very artistic so I keep things plaintext and simple. But https://zeusofthecrows.github.io/stadt/ really makes me wanna reconsider, I really like how it looks and it reminds me that I should visit neocities more.

I said some points about why Arch is good, but also difficult for beginners so I listed two of its forks and said a sentence or two about them.

On an unrelated note, strawberry is a bad choice of fruit to describe Arch distros, since they are usually in shades of blue.

The ordering is arbitrary, I did not think about the order as I tried to simply list things people may wish to consider when choosing.

I do not think I will be making a blogpost about advanced distros, I feel like people who want to use distributions like that (myself included) have the knowledge to decide themselves and there would be too many factors to consider.

Afaik no distros ship those codecs by default now, they might prompt you to download them during the installation. Fedora was just the first to notice that “oopsie we are violating a license” and others followed soon after.

My bad, I thought openSUSE was ran by SUSE, but you are right and it is simply sponsored by them, will fix it as soon as I can. I will also mention the rollback feature and then I guess I’ll also mention timeshift for Mint.

Noted, will mention that arch docs are great regardless of distro once I have the time.

As far as beginner friendly goes I think so too, but I have seen people complain that they are too complex because of the way they are structured. E.g. the install guide will not directly tell you how to install a bootloader, but will tell you to install one and then link an article about bootloaders. I’ll still edit the part about it and recommend it, people can decide themselves if they wanna use it or not.
