And fiddling with the dials on https://distrowatch.com/search.php can help too (e.g. selecting beginners from distribution category drop-down menu).

distrochooser.de & distrowatch.com/search.php, powerful combo to help find the right distro for you.

I’d watch that movie.

A bird on a plane.

“Ce n’est pas un oiseau.”

Thanks for mentioning SliTaz. It made my shortlist too. Didn’t think anyone else would mention it. :)

SliTaz evokes a lot of love and joy. It’s like seeing a microbus… People just smile. Makes the world lighter.

I haven’t tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

Come. You want to. And it’s easy. Here’s a video install guide on how to install Gentoo, that’s not even 40 seconds long…

;)

(… 24 days ago. Oh. Did you do it yet? On Gentoo yet? USE flag convertee now?)

I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

I was briefly using Hurd with debian about 12 years ago… it didn’t hurt. Hurd didn’t hurt.

… I’ve been looking over at even more exotic kernels from time to time, yet to seriously dip my toe in… things like ironclad.

Here are some independent distros I think need more respect/recognition:

• CRUX - It’s proper old school, been around for ages, still does things the old school ways, gets you perhaps more knowledge of your system than even archlinux, slackware, gentoo…
• KISS (and/or Carbs) - Similarly keeps you hands-on tight to your system.
• Exherbo - Takes commitment, to go from 0 to 10, users as developers. Godly, if you can.
• SliTaZ - Still as small as the old small DamnSmallLinux, and more pleasant (comparable to SLAX and Puppy).
• Gobo - Always needs honorary mention. Unique file system layout … ~ Would be cool if that were simply something we could toggle on any distro… Surely that’s just someone taking an afternoon with an LLM making XDG configurations… no? Okay, probably more complicated than I know. ~ But I digress…
• GuixSD - Manage your system with guile.
• PCLinuxOS - Convenient, catering to desktop users. Nice community spins. Oddly uses RPM package format, but with apt interface.
• BedrockLinux - What I’ve used for about 14 years as my daily driver. It’s cheating. ;) Linux’s best kept secret.

Big fan of each of these.

Also peripherally aware of…

• venom
• adelie
• milis
• side (uses PiSi package manager)
• ToaruOS (idk, just saw it for the first time now… showing there’s always more to explore…)

Time for Haskell?

How many more bugs would Haskell catch?

“Entire classes of bugs”?

There are (oh so ironically) so many to choose from in Astronomy.

Planet for example, or Asteroid…

But seriously, it’s in their name, that they name things, which, as the name’s typically used, encompasses so much more… They name themselves as that which names stars, and they cannot even get naming themselves right…

Misnomers so normalised, many people don’t even realise.

Nommy irony of astronomy.

How much does fenben and hempseed cost? ;)

This is why when we say SET and SETTING, that includes who you have around.

Don’t trip with rotters like that around.

Not mutually exclusive dogmas.

:O

How deep does this go???

No Ceres?

How are you?

Reminds of when I worked in advertising, “just doing my job” [“to the best of my abilities for my client”], until Bill Hicks saved me by telling me… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEOGrkhDp0

Can’t get good from inside the machine.

Etymology = mental acrobatics ?

Of course the “actually existing zionism”, the thing that gets called zionism, is as you describe. But we’re still being catch22’d by the perverted language trap.

Sadly Zionism always assumed the displacement of other people, so that some could build…

Since the crooks conjured their plan, yeah.

fundamentally conservative ideology

There’s another bag of fun to etymologically explore, seeing the contrast of how each of these words are commonly used, and what lurks shallow beneath the contemporary euphemisms. Perhaps not least the whole “conserve what” thing. Worse things than the milder interpretations some associate with in the broad conflation

A lot of sanctuary districts stuff going around then too, or whatever it was called.

If I recall correctly… Star Trek said … 2010, right? … I probably don’t recall correctly.
