What is it about flatpaks that bothers you? I am curious. My experience with them is good, except that are sometimes slower to launch.
Or, even better, use containers to have access to whatever distro/packaging system you want, like Vanilla OS does.
@Caaaaarrrrlll @moist_towelettes you mean by default. Everything in Linux can be changed, so if you like AppArmor, you can use it.
@NegativeLookBehind @cujo @BitingChaos some people don’t have much choice. Their jobs demand it. At least in Linux you’d be able to really sandbox them and route them through filters to prevent spying if you know what you’re doing.
I think you’ll be happy with the management tools in OpenSuSE They literally make almost everything simple to set up, from a GUI perspective, and if you actually know what you’re doing, it will make your day so much less stressful.
@Roderik @joojmachine what’s the obsession with bloat?
@MigratingtoLemmy @I_like_cats I wondered about that, but to me it just feels like an isolated file system based app structure, kinda like the .app folders in Macs. Does that sound right?
And with permissions, you can stop the app from accessing anything outside of its specific little file system.
@stevedidWHAT @iortega Your best bet is to use a distro that allows you to choose everything you install (at least your desktop experiences) so that you can install the lightest DE/WM you can. I would suggest something like CachyOS or Reborn, that have choosers and then choose something like openbox. Archcraft is also quite nice and light. I run it on an old machine and it runs beautifully.
@Franzia @SpacePirate Don’t hate it, learn it!
@jsnc @JuxtaposedJaguar that seems a bit too “zealot” to me. And viable competitor is exactly the right phrase to use, or am I mistaken in thinking I use Linux instead of HURD?
@Carter @H2207 You don’t really have to tinker with any distro. Once you set it up just let it be with a schedule of updates that fits your usecase. If you feel compelled to constantly update and rejigger, that’s you, not the distro. I have a Mankato machine that has been sitting for a couple of years with monthly security updates.
@bitahcold @utopiah
If you’re going to distro hop, do it, don’t let people tell you you’re wrong. I’ve learned how to set up and use a variety of Linux and BSD systems by distro hopping. But, I think maybe you should set up one system that is solid and then distro hop in virtual machines using VirtualBox. It works well and often can handle things like Haiku and Amiga type OSes as well. Just for fun, of course.
