- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Hardware support is not really the province of distro, to me. Which makes them even more ridiculous.
Honestly I'm kind of excited for the infrastructure as code tools. I think it is only going to get easier to customize a install quickly.
Or a new based DE, like with new libs and frameworks for making ui
No need to make a new distro, just package it into NixOS
Just a reminder that nix packages works on most any distro, and then they work like other universal packages, but without the sandboxing
NixOS is just when you take this to the logical conclusion and have every part of the distro packaged in Nix, including configuring your OS, and optionally your users configuration files as well.

Lol no.
ALSO BRING BACK HANNAH MONTANA
Sorry, the best I can do is busybox as init.
Ah good, so
NSFW distro open at your own risk
YiffOS
is okay
Well, it lacks a proper bootstrap and its documentation is basically empty trash.
hell live bootstrap has those and did it without requiring a file system or a kernel to get there https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap
What's so NSFW about it?
yiff is furry sex
Yiff is a slang term used in the furry fandom to refer to pornographic content of anthropomorphic animal characters.
Oh.
Does my distro qualify for this? I already implemented my own package manager and init system in Rust, and the only thing to do is to port build scripts from Arch to my format and make an ISO.
