It’s not to bad as others are saying. Real question is to why you don’t want to use the installer?
They are quite good. I just used one for a Gentoo install because I have better things to do with my time. Can I do it for the millionth time sure by hand sure but what’s the point? End result is more consistent than me as a human doing it by hand
Damn that game is 12 years old. I am getting old
Not sure where you have heard they are slower. Most of my experience has they are faster but I will say BSD kind of sucks on a laptop.
I would see what’s supported and then run something like Fluxbox as your WM
OpenSuse Tumbleweed, gets you on the bleeding edge and I have had 1 issue like 5 years ago where I got a broken xorg driver. Rolled back the patch using snapper/btrfs and was back in business. Upgraded like a week later and everything was fine. System is still chugging all these years later.
Also nothing wrong with running Debian Sid another distro I never ran into that many problems.
From what I remember hardware support was weird with ME. If you had the right hardware you were golden. Also last release of MSDOS
Very excited to see the rest of this series. I still run some BSD box’s. I really really enjoy it. I really wish they would support Docker at this point but it’s complex and I get it with the developers they have. Jails still work so so well. I am on a box I think I installed end of FreeBSD 9 or 10 on and just keep upgrading. That’s probably get to the 10 year mark at this point. I will have to go and check. It’s such a smooth system to run really a dream. Wish more people tried it especially
Great distro! I ran Lunar Linux so Source Mages sister from the fork of Sorcerer Linux. Lunar I know is still going and updating. Need to drop into their IRC channel for support and what not. Wonder if Source Mage is still kicking. Amazing how great the bash scripts were to run it all. I feel like if they added binary support they would get a lot more traction
It is so funny to me as well. I remember M$ calling Linux cancer
It is definitely Zypper and there really is only one distro that uses it and mentioned above
Till windows updates and over writes your Lilo or Grub boot. Might be less of thing with non-mbr setups not sure have not dual booted in a long ass time
I downloaded it not that long ago and worked great!
I run it in Podman rootless
Any reason you can’t just do your normal backups? Should be easy enough to do an rsync if you don’t have a backup solution
What about systemrescueCD? https://www.system-rescue.org/
All jokes aside Linux has grown a lot since the. Just need to keep pumping out good releases, integration and reducing the jank that used to be a thing
It’s 2006 and the year of the Linux Desktop

Man what a wild ride ReiserFS has been. I remember when it was the mainline FS in a lot of Linux distros. Good on Hans to right some wrongs. Prison has done some good on him
Awwww so cute! I remember seeing a dog a lot like this in Denver the underbite is such a cute look on some dogs
