Finally, I know what I want to be in life

Now that’s what i call suckless

For use with LFS book later than 6.2: Brain (awake, good working condition).

Requirements might be a bit steep for me though

LFS build with s6

Huzzah, a person of culture!

Nice keyboard!

nice :3

30-40%, but depending on what I’m listening to, I may temporarily crank it up. I think this question kinda depends on sound hardware, though.

There’s not any significant difference when it comes to Linux compatibility, I’ve had entirely fine experiences with both.

True, it’s easy to see why people call them that

“headless trashcan” is a rather beautiful combination of words

Needless complexity in software is something that gets on my nerves, especially on the web. We went from simple HTML to such a bloated mess that only like 2 web browsers can manage to keep up with it. I mean, does a web browser really need to do everything? Why use an office suite written in JavaScript in a web browser when there are native programs you could use?

BunsenLabs itself was a distro that was supposed to be in the spirit of an older discontinued distro, CrunchBang. There was another distro inspired by CrunchBang, CrunchBang++. Not sure exactly how active CB++ is, but there is a version out based on Debian 12, and from what I remember they seem decent and keeping up with Debian at least.

I’ve never used Alpine as a daily driver, but it is nice. I always appreciate small and simple software.

These days, Windows constantly gets in your way with ads, forced updates, crappy apps that install themselves, useless features like Cortana, forcing you to make a Microsoft account, etc. Linux or the BSDs, however, usually give you a bullshit-free and distraction-free experience. Plus, no spyware, completely free, endlessly customizable, and low resource usage (if you use a lightweight setup, but even “bloated” distros like Ubuntu and Mint are often light compared to Windows).

And what surprised me? I guess the only thing that surprised me is how easy the experience is, especially for things like gaming, which Linux has historically had a bad reputation for. Also, how nice it can be to use the terminal, not that you have to, especially as a novice user.

Truly, Gentoo is the greatest teacher.

If you use Gentoo, you really get to feel the sins of the bloat through accumulating compile times.
