I only used s6 myself for some minor stuff, not even as PID 1. You can take a look at some of the documentation for s6 + 66 in gentoo, hopefully it helps you:
You'll install it without a DE, so it'll be a pure terminal. Then you'll have to manually install and configure X11, a session manager, a window manager and Pipewire. Try it, it's a fun exercise. Easier than Arch since Debian devs don't huff their own farts about how hard it is to install their distro. It just installs, drops you into the terminal and you're off to the races.
archinstall, shockingly. https://archinstall.archlinux.page/installing/guided.html
Not archfi? I thought that was recommended or is that in the past?
Canonical seem dead set on pivoting Ubuntu towards Snaps, Rust and proprietary software, almost all these rust rewritten tools use a more permissive license like MIT which is the worst part about all these new Rust tools.
What exactly is all the hype around Rust about anyway?
Muh memory safety. Its an okay programming language but it gets all of it attention based of the things that should be a cherry on top. People treat it as a savior of programming because it has training wheels that most people who use it for major software take off anyways.
I see.
Yes
It causes one of the most common forms of bugs in software that are exploited, buffer overflows, but yes, it can also cause crashes.
If by people you mean the people programming it, that's what they have done since the beginning of programming. While the compiler itself can allocate static memory, programmers can tell the program to allocate a certain amount of memory for any reason (dynamic memory). If that isn't cleaned/freed and a buffer overflow happens, it can be exploited.
Good thing Linux Mint is already prepared. if Canonical tries that then Linux Mint will make the newest version of LMDE the upgrade path.
Ideally, nothing: In practice, forcing a buffer/stack overflow can let someone write code directly to ram. And if they are a naughty person, that might be naughty code.
I would switch back to arch if it actually supported GUI package managers. (INB4 hurrdurr linux elitist just use terminal saar, dont care, didnt ask.)
Well there's Octopi if you want to give it a shot, it's as simple as picking what packages to install (or hitting the check for update and system upgrade buttons), put in your sudo password, and go on ahead.
like the person above me mentioned. octopi.
It's wonderful once you're comfortable with that kind of configuration and going to remove most of the default software from a desktop environment out-of-box distro anyway, but there's absolutely no shame in continuing to use Linux Mint or any other "beginner" version.
