@Hyolobrika@thatbrickster android uses linux too so you're comparing nearly the same level of security. desktop linux has sandboxing too; it's cumbersome but enterprise and high-security setups wrangle it
@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
@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 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
@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)
@kirby@prettygood >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
@prettygood@kirby uh, if i'm not changing my profile then i don't need to read the update directions. they even started screwing up python ebuilds in the middle of EAPI 7, instead of doing the proper thing and deprecating them in 8, which just goes to show they aren't reviewing their changes closely at all anymore
but thanks for blaming me even though i have experience with ebuild maintenance, i appreciate it greatly
@kirby across the board they're having trouble keeping up, and recently i had to throw away a server cus last world upgrade on there ended up trashing all the dynamic libraries and putting them in /usr/lib, when i don't even mount /usr on boot
