Really cool.

The actual data is around 40 MB and is available for download with a README of instructions for actually running the operating system, though it's not a one-click affair. You'll need to have an initial boot environment and then compile parts of the operating system, as that was the fashion back then. Unix v4 required a then-fancy DEC PDP-11 minicomputer, which can handily be emulated using the SimH software. More casual observers can instead look at a screenshot of the operating system running under Irix.

I have a hell of story to tell you guys but sadly it has not reached the conclusion JUST yet.
In the meantime I plan to get that Sony kernel source.

Im getting closer. Before I just had a kernel panic and now I got the XIO driver to semi load (XIO is a propitary kernel module)

(Here was my previous attempts and how they would go every time)

Bruh I actually got recommended her videos a few times. Foray into Linux Mint? Perfectly serviceable, nothing I would personally object to. Pivot to Fedora 42 Workstation? A little iffy, but y'know what? Fedora has a longstanding reputation of being on the cutting edge of Linux technologies, the inheritor of the mantle Red Hat Linux left behind, and Fedora Core used to ship in Linux For Dummies. Totally fair game. Then she pivoted to Omarchy... and then I'm over here with the thousand yard stare like "oh... oh no..." because I fucking guarantee you that there's some fucking tranny in whatever Discord server she's lurking on whispering to her to take the plunge into Arch before one of Omarchy's VC-tied promoters takes the reins and says "hey, try Omarchy! It's a totally organic distro that's totally for you." Now we have the fucking Thinkpad T-series of laptops being brought up. She's gonna speedrun every single goddamn Linux meme depending on who's got her ear at the current moment. I fucking guarantee it.

I don't even have anything against Switch & Click. I'm just petrified that the moment a remotely "popular" tech creator pivots over to Linux for content, there's gonna be someone from the Poetterware camp telling her to abandon the path of sanity in favour of THE_MESSAGE(tm).

Omarchy is Arch-based.

I know that but doesn't it use Hyprland and all the Arch trannies seethe about it because the developer's a chud? But then also there's a huge segment of the Arch community that uses Omarchy because it's prettier to look at than Archbang with Openbox?
 

I finally got around to watching this one he put out. Why does he sound like hes about to cry in half of it? Lol.


Also, i hope someone can just tell him to install debian or something debian based. He stresses the whole time about updates invalidating test. Just install a debain based distro. It doesnt get any performance improvements for literal years at a time. Using bazzite just because its what the people that think being like steamos is worth anything recommend is making his life harder for sure. It will at least get rid of one set of variables.

Also. I looked at the comments and youtube opened this by default...

Not a giant deal, the comments are there just in another tab. But i still find it a bad omen. But I say that as if youtube wasn't ruined by google a decade ago.


Speaking of how people sound. I just saw this. Its wierd. He talks mostly normal, but then suddenly the autism accent slips in. But he seems like he's able to mostly mask it. I'm sure everyone on the site knows what I mean by the autism accept.

In fairness I suspect that her husband is probably the one responsible for browsing Reddit and finding new Linux memes, as opposed to giving a entertaining and informative presentation of some generally worthwhile concepts, which she does a good job of. Anyway, I can't really criticize advocacy for just getting an old ThinkPad and installing Mint on it, although obviously Devuan would have been a better choice. Beats the hell out of anything LTT has ever published.

Id personally avoid getting into meme distros for lamestream techtubers
For a technical audience it's fine cause you can explain to them why devuan is cool and why you should run it
But new users sometimes ask me wtf is artix s6 and even if I make the explanation really dumbed down and fit into 1 sentence their eyes glaze over
Linus Torvalds said in... I think it was an interview in the computer chronicles or revolution OS
He said that the operating system is not something the end user thinks about, it's just the thing that loads their programs
Devuan Is what you end up on when youre way too deep into the weeds and Linux becomes a hobby
So Linux mint is probably the best choice for techtubers to go with. It's battle tested, new user friendly, doesn't start a war in the comments, and less importantly isn't endorsed by lunduke which would rile up the troon brigade

Which distro do you guys think is least infested with tranny bullshit? My money's split three ways between Gentoo, Guix and Artix. Something about source compilation or declarative systems makes me think that trannies are less likely to invest the time to make them shine in comparison to a quick and dirty niri + arch rice they can spam /g/ with. Anything that shills systemd + wayland seems to be tranny central.

Slackware. The BDFL model keeps entryists away and it is now probably the steepest learning curve of all distros besides Guix. It’s a relic of the 90s/2000s in the best possible ways.

Until you inevitably migrate upward to Slackware Current because the project releases get way too stale. Kudos to Patrick Volkerding for never abandoning his methods and his biases for almost 40 years now.

The Slackware point releases move so slowly they make Debian look like Arch. But even -current is stable enough for most users.

Last time i tried current i couldn't figure out where to download packages
I found a dead Mirror from some guy
Every time i ask a Slackware user how to do something they make it sound so obvious but it's like secret esoteric knowledge not available on google
