I don't think Temple OS is linux though
Herecy!
It’s not Linux, it’s something entirely unique.
When he was alive, he would be frequently banned from forums for getting into crazy arguments about esoteric code things. Also the racial slurs. A complicated but beautiful human being.
TempleOS is a fever-dream.
The entire OS is released into the Public Domain, so it's technically more free than Linux, which is quite a feat.
Kind of like the Watts Towers, it's a one-man curiosity or folly.
gpl requires you keep the freedom
also, by that logic, bsd is more free than linux
I mean he was a theocratic racist piece of shit but ok
Having interacted with him a few times online (if he was alive he would be on this comment thread right now, and would probably have been banned at this point) - he was severely mentally ill. I’m not sure if he had any form of political ideology that was coherent enough to be “theocratic.”
Like, when you run TempleOS, the majority of programs on there are about using random number generators to “talk to” God. There are keyboard shortcuts for this purpose. I don’t think he was fun to be around - I imagine that his parents were at the end of their rope by the time they kicked him out - but Davis spent the last ten years or so of his life completely untethered from reality.
Linux swinger parties: On the way in you drop a thumb drive loaded with a distro installer in a fishbowl, then spend 30 minutes drinking energy drinks and dunking on MS, then grab a random thumb drive on your way out. That's your new daily driver.
You know somebody's putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.
Sounds like malware
Always take protection to a swingers party.
Gotta bring condoms for your boot drives
Honestly though this could work if it was just a configuration file. Maybe something like Nix, Ansible or a bash script.
But templeos isn't Linux...
the debian wallpaper is nice
Based
And redpilled Af
This is the way.
Letting Lemmy choose Hannah Montana Linux for you.
I use Mint because I'm lazy.
God chose TempleOS but you have all forsaken him.

I use a pen and paper like god intended.
computer science exams must have been so easy for you
no, they were all calculous
My computer science exams genuinely included writing (simple) Java programs by hand, on paper
mine as well. it was awful
I think he intended a slate of rock intsead of a paper.
or a vast nothingness
Damn, Bluefin checks 1–4
Hannah Montana
1 debian
2 debian
3 debian
4 knoppix
5 debian
6 templeOS
You clearly forgot Hannah Montana Linux and Moebuntu
The hell is Moebuntu hahahah
I was hoping it was moe from the Simpsons.
Same
TempleOS is NOT linux
but it is divine.
What is Ubuntu SE?
Satanic Edition
Sex edition
I use Arch btw
I choose exclusively based on mascot and I don't know any distributions with mascots other than opensuse so I use opensuse
i think the gentoo pacman looking guy is cool
Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment
Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…
« I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …
(Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )
I rate Linux distros by the proportion of doing work on my computer:working on my computer
Most people want stuff to just work.
I chose Endeavor because I like its wallpapers.
(And I am too scared of installing Arch)
My one borked Linux install came from what I'm guessing was a mem leak in Endeavour (Firefox related or otherwise I'll never know) stopping up an update/upgrade and not finishing all the post install scripts before rebooting. You'll be fine, but Endeavour is close enough and does look good out of the box :-)
I dislike Arch btw
I choose my distro based on if KDE will crash or not.
So far on my hardware only NixOS has not got that issue out of the box.
Have you had issues setting hotkeys in KDE? I'm using NixOS on my laptop and for some reason the shortcuts I add all reset on logouts/shutdowns
Thats weird, I never had any problems with hotkeys bc nixos does not manage that. Did you setup inpermanence on your .config folder?
No, I've never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can't set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it's a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682
That report mentions 6.0.3 I've had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn't been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.
Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it's resolved in 6.0.5 but I'm in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it's still clearing on reboot.
i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.
Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?
i gave up on gentoo when the updates started making my laptop so hot that i had to point my bedroom fan at it in college. i was thinking of doing LFS but by that point gentoo was turning into such a headache and i wanted something simpler. i switched to arch afterwards, but now i mainly just use macos and let tim handle all that stuff for me. although i’m tempted to try arch again when im done with grad school and have more time
Why has nobody mentioned package managers? I can't be the only one who cares about that...
Some guy commented about it and got corrected for saying that
yaywas a package manager. lolI mean, I use it in place of pacman.
Since it's a wrapper, it can do what pacman does and more
Whats a wallpaper? I thought we were supposed to use linux CLI only.
Me in the past 2 years: choosing a Linux distro based on whether it's nixos
Only one of those OP. The oldest one in the list. When any of those other distros bring something new and beneficial to the mix I might consider them.
I have OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Arch, and some version of Ubuntu. I'll probably replace Ubuntu with Tumbleweed eventually.
The only one worthy of cool logo
I choose by which distro is most suited to make me suffer
Arch, Gentoo or LFS?
Arch, trying Nix
Debian OpenWRT NixOS Gentoo Proxmox
Tuxedo OS, it came with the laptop and I'm too lazy to put something else on it. There's also a RPi somewhere in the basement running Arch.
Currently getting annoyed with my Manjaro install because, after reinstalling due to a dead hard drive, nothing seems to quite work right (and I can't get Skynet installed). Went to Distrowatch and hit random
Um... maybe that's not my new daily driver
I had a small store with one of these in the window and for what it does it's very good
Oh I'm sure it's great for what it does!
NixOS Arch SteamOS Debian
I would do love to put steamos on my desktop
I'd suggest trying out Bazzite Linux. It's the closest to SteamOS and has a lot of tweaks already installed.
I’ve been looking into switching my desktop to Linux as my daily driver in parallel with my work laptop, I will absolutely look into this. Thank you for the suggestion
I like to pick based off the name of the command I use to evoke the package manager. Currently, I'm enjoying using yay but I've been thinking about emerge quite a bit
Edited for pedantic specificity
Neither of those are package managers. That'd be Pacman and Portage.
Guilty. I chose Ubuntu for years due to them using muse as an artist on their mediaplayer
Ubuntu Slackware Alpine
I do roman style lots
By this list, I like endeavor(it's wallpapers go hard as shit), alpine, centos(watch dogs!!1!), and "Athena OS"(distrowatch random)
Screw you guys, immutable fedora. Currently, bazzite, but I can, and have, change on a whim.
I know this is a side topic, but is it just me or Fedora linux used to have stunning default wallpapers but they are gradually getting worse?
Aren't those just Gnome defaults?
No, Fedora makes their own (though they also include GNOME defaults at least in Workstation)
oh I did not know, I just assumed it was just Gnome
I like them
It has. I wanna say around f32ish. I forget what they said about the design change choices.
imo f34 and 36 have good wallpapers. 41 on the other hand...
Well yes, i choose Debian 12 for the background
