Trying to setup dnscrypt-proxy on my personal laptop. I tend to think I things are more complicated, so I went down the rabbit hole searching for all manner of issues and setup guides. It's not hard.... RTFM

Don't forget Chimera Linux ( not to be confused with Chimeraos)!

Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I'm inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.

It's soo good. It's taught me most of what I know about Linux. And, without getting into a battle over inits, I just love the simplicity of runit.

I never took a swing at musl, though I did kick it around a few times. I used my laptop for work for years and couldn't afford to lose options for some apps. The gloves are off now :)

Great suggestion. A few of the distro suggestions here are in the deep end of the Linux pool, so it's probably best to build them virtually to see how I want things setup.

I know, so cool. I am open to learning, but I am not sure I am in for that depth of education :)

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

I haven't honestly. Isn't that one that takes forever to install because it builds the packages as you install the system?

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Ah Chimera. I've been looking at that the last two days. I am really tempted to give it a shot. My laptop is mostly for playing around these days. Are you running it?

I forgot about Arch. I ran Manjaro for a year and didn't have the best experience. 'Course I was pretty green on Linux then.

Thanks, Sid hasn't been on my radar. Ill go have a look. I happen to have a ZFS box up in rsync.net running Debian, and it'd be nice to learn more about CLI in the deb world.

[-] Charlatan@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the heads up. That is something I've taken into consideration. I am curious how long I'd last on musl.

It's definitely hard to beat: )

One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

What's your favorite and how does it behave?
