@dcc im installing it right now over Crux. I might go with debian on my laptop though, i dont want to maintain much on there but i do want to run some linux software -

i still dont understand why mastodon users make it so blind friendly with alt text. Who on mastodon is genuinely blind and of whom is going to frequently want to use mastodon. I think fully blind people have better things to worry about than a 3 page essay describing what a dog looks like, and even then, they shouldnt be on mastodon, something like irc or a text board is probably better -

@bronze Ive already used Gentoo. I dont care anymore about Gentoo. Portage is awesome but slow and this is mainly due to how complex USE flags are and python, sure its cool, but I just want something minimal and simple to kick up. *BSD lets me do the binary package or compiling with debugging stuff that I do like, but Gentoo is generally just tedious to keep maintaining, especially since its rolling. idk about funtoo at all -

@Re_L @mint that's how bsd build systems work, usually a makefile, its just that nowadays theyve gotten a nice binary repository based on builds which lets you choose between binary packages or building yourself (ports).
I know void linux did this with xbps, but i HATED void linux, so much, and runit was fucking horrible and annoying. Not to mention it was very rolling and barely anyone maintained packages very well. Also its focus on Musl really aped the project (just use a BSD!!!) -

@mint hmm.. i dunno, im dead spoiled by gentoo portage and the way bsd handles building by spliting up bins and ports, alongside port dep management. Also no metadata?? i thought it had some custom build scripts. What about patches?
actually after typing this i did look at prt-get, it is compilation based, correct? (no biggie, but i do need to handle deps and upgrades) I just want something that will maintain itself, i don't want to fuck with tarballs by hand -

@crunklord420 Cmake is great for lots of things, but for some things, its ass. Many people use convenient scripts and stuff for CMake which create packages and functions easily, but... try actually making one yourself.. go ahead.
CMake just had a bad language, with weird shit like strings for lists... its mainly done to make simple scripts look simple, but for complex things you might as well kill yourself. Not to mention its HORRIBLE docs and reliance on stackoverflow. Fortunately, Cmake is tried and tested and aged pretty well so it does have some stability i cant complain about.
Premake5 is lua and also does the cool cmake things like generation. Funny enough its way more used for game devs since they usually know lua... IMO people should stop creating new langs from the ground up and use embedded ones people know. I like that philosophy with Premake5. (theres also XMake which is lua and has more goyslop but idk)
CMake peaks in support for backends though, no doubt, but premake does support a good list of popular ones -

@mint ok thank you, sorry im at work. How does it compare to slackware if you know, it seems the package management is similar (looks like all source based).... community not extremely dead btw? Can i contribute ports if i must? -

@crunklord420 Contribute it! (or ill contribute it), im sure its requested somewhere, although personally i dont use these features much.
BTW you know there are tools for generating these json scripts too, right? Some of them take a Makefile (premake generates a Makefile if you use the makefile backend), which you can then pass to *that* tool which creates your things. Meson probably struggles with such because of Ninja -

@mint Oh that sounds cool. I dont want new packages every week, i just want something like stable release
Do they have "stable" releases though or is it truly rolling? -

@crunklord420 This is why I just use Premake5 or plain build scripts -

@mint How "rolling" is it though? I don't want something super unstable -

before you just say "just use BSD", I DO use a bsd (open* and net*), all the time, and I love it; but I need a Linux install for stuff like virtual machines, gameing, and development purposes. Please do tell me. -

Does anyone know any Linux distros that are pretty stable like Debian but aren't debian? (i hate apt and it's package defaults and stuff)
I want something that feels like a BSD-based distro but isn't rolling like Arch or something.
Slackware was one i looked at but i'd need a slackware user to tell me how slackware is before I just install it. There's CRUX too but I don't see why i'd use that over Arch, as it's also rolling. -

@FrailLeaf No, IMO programming on a BSD is MUCH better, it's just stuff like VM's, containers, Wayland (WIP on BSD) and even Linux libraries (and stuff like the /sys folder) and its implementations are unique, and arguably, required to program for or poke at, programming Linux is honestly different from "programming UNIX".
Also gaming. -

@mischievoustomato @coin @Tij @sysrq every fancy terminal emulator like these has input delay due to vsynced as fuck gpu whatever bullshit and as a result its like a nanosecond off for me. It looks smooth for compiling things or whatever but if you type a lot, give up
This is the same guy who plays competitive video games which we use CRTs cuz we care bout that shit. i care way more about input -> display timing than I should, but when i type a character i want it to be on the screen immediately and not through a gpu pipelined opengl register so i can glyph a character -

@coin @Tij @sysrq frfr on god. Blur looks cool no matter how gpu intensive it is (its not but well um so um) but arguably its a billion times better than a pure transparent background, not to mention the transparency blends horrible with a bright white webpage in the background (blur too can be weird with this, no blur/transparency is best if you use the terminal a lot) -

@sysrq @Tij XFCE users will spend years convincing you that 80% transparency looks good
