Sorry, the best I can do is busybox as init.
average yiffos distro experience really.
Cybersecurity engineers and pentesters don’t need Kali or Parrot. You don’t need Proxmox to use LXC and KVM. You don’t need OpenMediaVault to have Samba and NFS shares. You don’t need Clonezilla to make use of the OCS toolkit. You don’t need LMDE to have a Debian OS with Cinnamon and nonfree drivers installed, or Endeavour to have Arch with KDE Plasma.
But it’s sure as shit good to have everything packed together and preconfigured by professionals.
Or if not professionals at least someone who knows more about it than yourself.
And even if they don’t, they know enough to do it to a level I am happy to not bother doing it myself.
Absolutely.
Edit, responded to the wrong comment somehow.
Or at least willing to push whatever barely working bullshit they forgot to test.
Clonezilla is more like an app that comes with an OS on a liveCD for convenience, as it’s troublesome to use the very OS you’re cloning.
Yeah its a program that has a minimal OS. Its more about the program than the operating system.
Proxmox does add extended hardware support, as does Kali. Parrot enables necessary repos and kernel modifications for Red and Blue team workflows. I don’t know enough about DEs to speak about the others but those three don’t apply to the meme.
I’m not sure I’d go to the lengths of using OMV just to have a samba share.
Sounds like a perfect application for Nix, IMO. Either ship a flake or a NixOS config module, and you’re set.
The only disadvantage I can see is the unusual directory structure of NixOS.
Maybe the existence of these distros (appliances) is a sign of the state of Linux.
May the next distro win.
Actually, create as many distros as you like and can!
Hannah Montana 2: Electric Boogaloo Distro Incoming!!!
featuring Dante from Devil May Cry!
And Knuckles!
Except for distros like Apartheid Linux … maybe uncreate those.
Musk has a distro???
Don’t give him any ideas…
“Distro of Gaming Excellence”
- Comes with a Fiverr account for paying someone else to level up your character!
- Built-in GrokAI to provide tips on what to say in game chat. “Hello, fellow gaming kids.”
- Preconfigured X (Twitter) + OBS Studio, so your followers can watch your livestream fail! Repeatedly!
I don’t want to search this… Wth is it?
nazi distro
How? Why? I can’t even
I mean, bait aside, creating a new distro with an existing package manager allows you to set up a different set of default packages and even add your own new/updated ones. That’s the value of it there.
Eh I guess, but really just define your own meta packages and use arch 😄
This should be in c/ControversialOpinions.
Take it a step further and declaratively configure your entire installation with nixos
Literally tons of distros could be some
lib.mkDefaultnixos configs. And they would get a package manager improvement.
btw
(it was implied 😜)
But that doesn’t deserve to count as a separate distro. At best it’s just a variant, like the relationship between Kubuntu and Ubuntu.
Ship of Theseus.
How much do you need to change to make a new distro? Is Linux Mint still Ubuntu? Or is Ubuntu still Debian?
But what if… I took Debian, and disguised it as my own distro? Ho ho ho! Delightfuly devilish, Seymore!
I daily Debian because I realized all of the distros I tried and liked were Debian based. That was 20 years ago.
Ubuntu, Knoppix and MEPIS? I first used Ubuntu in 2006, but it was still very immature then. I didn’t really know much about any other Debian derivatives.
The other big one that was popular was Mandrake but that was rpm based, and a bit later PClinuxOS which was Mandrake based. I didn’t think Debian derivatives were much of a thing then aside from Ubuntu.
There are at least a couple of distros that are based on Ubuntu. Mint is a popular example. I’d say that based on Ubuntu means it is also a Debian derivative.
Mint didn’t really see any sort of popularity until around 2010 as I remember.
I’m aware it’s initial release was earlier (surprised it was exist in 06!), but the reality of those times is that Ubuntu was still building itself up let alone Mint getting traction yet.
Daring today, aren’t we
Mmm, systemd clams.
Or do, that guy isn’t your boss. If he is, what are you doing listening to him about non work stuff he seems like a gatekeeper kina guy.
I mean Linux wouldn’t be as it is actually without Hannah Montana Linux and Justin Bieber Linux
They can go ahead and create all they want. I just wont use any of them unless they give me a reason.
Exactly! Nobody has to listen to OP and change plans because OP doesn’t approve! Like you, OP is free to NOT use the product!
Nah. Push them out like rabbits do with their babies. Let them fight and see which ones prevail!
Idk, it’s a hobby. There’s no problem with new distros. If they’re good, they take off, if not, it’s going to be a niche project. No issue at all.
It’s more than a hobby. That’s kinda the point.
We already have NixOS, why anything else?
(Guix is cool too).
A good wiki for it?
https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_Wiki
Still lacking a bit of information about specific stuff.
Unofficial should have the same information, but sometimes there is a discrepancy.
https://search.nixos.org/options
For any option you might need the name of.
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html
For basically anything else where you just have the implementation documentation
Gentoo with an external build server. (for storage ir performanceconstrained systems)
Does it use Systemd? If so, then we need something else.
Derive something from PCLinuxOS please, but with actual anaconda kick-starts.
Doesn’t have too! You can just use nix as a package manager and install it to whatever distro you choose 😉
The services it installs are systemd, though
Choose a distro by the default wallpaper.
In that case uwuntu for life.
By logo openSUSE ftw
