I use Migadu but you need your own domain for that and also it is paid.

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine's package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

Think of AppImage like a standalone executable on windows, you download it, it just works and thats good. But it doesnt get automatic updates and to get a new feature you need to download it again. Flatpaks and Snaps don't have this issue and are more like traditional package managers.

OpenSUSE

inb4 but thats a corporate distro, it is just sponsored by SUSE but is community maintained

I agree that there are not many distros that are both user friendly and not forks of something else, but I don't see it as an issue, imo there is nothing wrong with forks.

A blog of course.

It seems like one is showing GiB and the other GB, which are two different units.

KB = 1000B KiB = 1024B

Which doesn't seem significant but it adds up.

Fyi I checked the r/unixporn and there is no post about a lemmy instance even tho the owner of this community claims this is an official one.

Not that it being official would make things different, there is no need for the specific set of mods that are on reddit to post rices.

There are VPS services that dont give a fuck about DMCAs and pirated content. You should specifically look for one like that if this is your intent. I do not have any specific provider recommendations but you might find something useful in lowendtalk.

I dislike when documentations add sudo because what if I am root already or what if sudo is not installed on my machine and I cannot just copy and paste the lines because I have to avoid pasting sudo.

Also fyi ArchWiki also uses the # approach.

To be completely safe I'd just use a VM, if you think that is an overkill then I suggest Bubblewrap.
