TempleOS is unusable and mostly ran for fun or respect to its creator.

Haiku can work for your regular browsing/document work, although the question of "why?" remains.

That's...a very Arch approach

That's correct. The community threw a fit when CentOS moved into that Stream position. Despite it being ABI compatible with RHEL.

I had the same reaction to the Microslop vs Apple corporateness at first. But they kinda have a point as in that Apple controls the entire stack from hardware to os, while windows is just the os

Presumably they can also make it run at startup.

But I'm just suggesting a solution for the existing situation, not saying that the distro should work this way.

niche but slightly corporate?

My Arch install yesterday:

That's a nice Kernel you have there, it would be a shame if something happened to it.

It somehow deleted the old kernel image from the boot partition but failed to write the new one (and I didn't notice before rebooting).

I needed to rebuild the kernel via chroot from a live USB.

they released 24 last month

It's in an extremely good spot right now imo. Just installed it yesterday on pretty new hardware (upper mid-range), flawless experience

Maybe at the place of Gentoo? But I'd think it's more popular

I didn't throw a fit I just replaced it within two months with debian and life goes on.

Well I haven't updated yet, so still true for me :3

while windows is just the os

They so very want to be just like apple in that reguard.

Windows is more corporate than that
Ubuntu is more corporate and mainstream than that.

Oh, didn't you know? "The World" is just "USA" on the Internet.

And if I tried heroin and it was bad was also even more common.

If I am used to Ubuntu, would I ever want to be on a rolling release?

Also move upbuntu north one square

It still a walled garden in the sense that Apple is the only one that can code sign and certify software for the MacOS. So every dev that wants to release software on MacOS still needs to pay for membership of Apple’s developer program even if they don’t distribute trough the App Store. Unless they want their user to disable a security feature on MacOS and ignore the warnings.

Depends on your personal preferences!

Rolling release typically delivers the latest and greatest of Linux, which is kinda cool. It also removes all the headache of upgrading to a newer version and the possible issues stemming from that. You get to see the gradual evolution of your system, one feature at a time, and you don't have to wait a month after a new version is released, just because some program you need is not properly ported yet.

On the other end, any update of the rolling release system can end up being somewhat breaking, so if you prefer setting aside time for managing your system instead of having a nasty surprise at the worst possible moment and at the same time want to have your system secure and updated at all times, classic model will be superior.

In both cases, properly set snapshots save a lot of trouble.

I wouldn't play the game. Just eat your flavor of ice cream.

It's not a question whether they work or not. It's whether you're okay with an app distribution system that forces us to be dependent on one corporation. Snap's backend effectively makes Ubuntu almost as bad as Android.

And seeing as there is no shortage of better options, why not choose those?

Sure thing, I was just joking around. This should solve the issue. Although it's still weird that this issue exists in the first place.

I wish there were Debian with Cachy-gaming features. Wonder if I could just do that myself? 🤔

I've got the hot take of wondering if Windows is less corporate than ChromeOS. I'm sure there's some open sourcing going on from Windows but ChromiumOS (which I assume has major issues, AOSP certainly does) exists, and someone could build something cool with it.

Sadly we'll never have an open source Windows XP.

His mom probably likes them too.

His dad probably says “WTF is this Snap bullshit son? We didn’t raise you like that.”

Then his mom replies, “it’s just a phase, he needs our support, I’m sure you can make snaps happen, sweetie.”

Debian is probably a poor fit for a gaming-oriented distro, since gaming is constantly evolving in terms of hardware and software features.

Even if you put as much as possible into a container or a Flatpak, your drivers will be old, which is critical even for older hardware, particularly in new games.

If you want stability AND modern gaming, maybe go for something like Bazzite? The system is very stable thanks to immutability and atomic updates, and at the same time you have all the modern gaming stack.

Where's Hannah Montana Linux?

I Actually had attempted to do that via a service, It didn't work. And at that point, I had spent a few hours trying to get it connected to the internet alone so I was already frustrated and was happy enough that it was able to at least connect again. Telling myself I'll go back to it later. Guess what never happend 🦊

When I bother testing it again, I will attempt to fix the service for it. Although in a perfect world it would be nice to have it remember passwords that way the startup is just having it connect to the already saved network, but I don't believe that's going to get fixed any time soon.

You might be right and binding it to a key binding may end up being the easier route.

NP, just helping you and others enjoy the meme.

The service probably either starts too early, or doesn't have access to the desktop session (idk if the latter would be necessary for the script). You can try putting the script into autostarting applications for the user's session, typically via a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart — e.g. by copying a file from /usr/share/applications and adjusting it.

I have been really trying to avoid implementing it into the user session, it requires superuser to run the commands and I don't like the concept of hardcoding sudo paths using nopasswd

But I probably will end up having to do something similar in the user environment.

edit: Now that I think about it, I could probably just make the command path to the network command be authorized as no password on any user as I don't really see a situation where the user logged in shouldn't be able to manipulate the network it's connected to.

What is corporate about Debian?

Pretty much the opposite of Arch Linux.

Its right beside it you goofy goober. :3

more people working on it, maybe? i'm not sure, but it's the same situation for arch

macs are so rare that someone once screenshared and i was almost asking if that was gnome

but they aren't yet

It's used by companies for its rock-solid stability in long up times.

Congrats? Enjoy your totally different ecosystem and lack of SELinux.

Afaik you can make a particular script available without a password, via sudoers. I forget how exactly, but I've looked into this in the past.

Alternatively, you can set the owner of the script to root and set the setuid permission on it, so it runs as root regardless of who launches it.

In both cases, if you hardcode the necessary operations in the script, it shouldn't be possible to do anything else with it other than connect to WiFi.

Of course, you can also try setting it as a service to run as late as possible, perhaps that would fix it. Idk how services are specified in Arch, but usually with oldstyle init systems it's the numbers at the beginning of the filename, and if you name symlinks to the script something like ‘99-start-wifi’, it should run among the last services at the particular init level.

Isnt reactos pretty close to open source xp?

I had forgotten about the set UID flag. That might actually fix the issue altogether without having to do a hard-coded sudo path.

And would mean I wouldn't have to double check the commans to make sure that there's no destructive subcommands that could be done as well.

I might try that later, thanks!

I came here to complain about the lack of OpenBSD

And slackware

LOL at Windows being marked as less corporate than MacOS. They should absolutely be at least tied.

Why is "used by companies" criteria for being corporate?

Companies use doors. Are doors "corporate" now?

Of all the problems, this bothered me the most.

SUSE just one down from RedHat

I mean, I think the spot each is in is okay, its more that line. The opposite would be macos or windows 11, methinks.
