@wowaname @prettygood debian has slow boot times for me and i sort of impulsively chose gentoo
is this why people don't like you you are very quick to become aggressive in casual conversation

>you are very quick to become aggressive in casual conversation
this is the first interaction i remember with you and the whole thread you've been talking out your ass and assuming i'm picking a fight with someone who was just plain wrong. you aren't talking constructively at all, and as such you're annoying
>is this why people don't like you
it's why people with your personality don't like me. please reflect on that before wasting more of both of our time

@kirby @wowaname in their defense I started it, and I was clearly wrong so no popcorn for you.

@kirby @prettygood forgot to reply to the actual part of your post because of all your accusations, but still
>debian
there's plenty of good options if you don't care about specifics. even arch is better for "just works" but my go-to is alpine if i don't need to run anything precompiled or proprietary (and even then, gcompat fills in some of the gaps)

@wowaname @prettygood I suspected systemd because of how long it took to start services and stuff. Might be a variety of factors though (hard drive doesn't help)
It's an old Thinkpad so you know what the deal is with those things when they're not upgraded.

@kirby @prettygood also since you specifically mention boot times, do you know if that's because of systemd (in which case arch wouldn't help you) or something else? there's also artix which is simple like arch but with different init choices. i tried artix-s6 in a VM just to gather notes on how a s6-based machine is set up, and it looked well put together. or if you like debian, devuan might be worth a shot, but i think their only option is sysvinit/openrc, which is similar to gentoo

@wowaname @prettygood I've used freebsd on it it worked fine for the most part

@kirby @prettygood openbsd was slow for me on a thinkpad, dunno about freebsd but that'd be my first suggestion there, if only for their package support

@kirby @prettygood yeah i feel that. i'm on an X200 with alpine right now and it's pretty out of the way, especially with an SSD, but since you had prior success with freebsd on yours, i'd say go for it
