@snacks @mischievoustomato we used Denglish for that, german was mostly the visible user interfaces excluding Powershell and Bash

@snacks @kim @dagda i checked it out and it seems worthless, lots of things i use not packaged, no home-manager, etc. I'm already too into nix, and have even contributed 🤠

@dagda @snacks @mischievoustomato openSUSE is the best OS in dont care if you use chrome OS you should be taken out back and blasted with buckshot like a dog with syphilis

@kim @dagda @snacks opensuse is not good for me at all, would've liked it, but does too many things I don't like

Average Mint user:
"So my grandson installed this lovely system on my old PC and even the fax and the printer work great. I love him so much."

Average non-Mint Linux user:
"So I compiled this new tertiary fork of Void Linux from some ex-cult leader in Liechtenstein in 3 weeks, the file system is an experimental one from a convicted mass murderer but it only breaks twice per week. Took a while to get the source code because I live in a cabin in the woods to protect myself from gangstalkers pushing schizophrenia medication on me. The system is GNUbooted but I don't trust it completely and forked it recently"

@snacks @kim @dagda @mischievoustomato Void kinda sucked for me it was restricting and the package management system is too bad

@snacks @kim @dagda @meso what pkg manager does void have?

@mischievoustomato @dagda @kim @snacks in theory void should be the best distro but it falls short on letting you make your own packages easily

@snacks @kim @dagda @mischievoustomato it's confusing. the package format is weird

@snacks @dagda @kim @mischievoustomato it was 2 years ago so I can't really tell you details anymore I'm sorry but I have my views on things for a reason

@dagda @kim @mischievoustomato @snacks okay so i remember now the package format was pretty simple but it was very vague and confusing as to how to actually specify certain things. where's the binary, etc. nowhere as easy to understand as Arch's

@dagda @kim @mischievoustomato @snacks I also wanted a repository, not just xbps-src compiling source code

@snacks @kim @dagda @meso @mischievoustomato Yeah, he was a NetBSD developer before founding Void in 2008 and resigned from Void in 2020 I think. You can still see his name in an old author list: https://wiki.netbsd.org/users/wiz/authorslist/

@mischievoustomato @snacks @kim @dagda zypper is the worst package manager in existence and it's not even close.

@tadano @kim @dagda @snacks i found zypper ok aside from it not supporting multiple pkg downloads and blocking if packagekitd runs. But it's many things that annoy me from opensus

@snacks @kim @tadano @dagda you can have that on apt and pacman distros too, tbf
