There was this distro that stuffs everything of a package in one folder, instead of /usr/lib & co. What was it called again?
Gobolinux?
Right, thanks!
KISS
it’s just a single bash script and a repository containing package definitions to compile them from source.
Basically LFS on drugs.
SLiTaz
It’s an obscure originally live usage oriented distro that you could also install. It was the first *Nix I ever used.
it was for a time a distro i was really big on on account of how small it could be on live media. absolutely fantastic for very old pcs and netbooks, too
FreeBSD Just kidding
I think you mean Chimera Linux
elive
you think a distribution that automatically includes all the proprietary stuff that we use baked into the distro would be more popular since it makes linux ready to go for most people; but it still gets fewer than 300 clicks per month.
I feel like the Enlightenment desktop environment isn’t to everyone’s taste. It’s definitely got some idiosyncratic design choices…
Doesn’t Pop!OS do that already?
Yes, as far as they’re allowed to in this country
And Ubuntu, no? Wasn’t that the big selling point of Ubuntu back in the day?
automatically includes all the proprietary stuff
Jail.
They’ve been able to figure it out so far
First I’m hearing of it. I’ma try it out
It made me lazy since they got everything to work out of the box. Lol
This. People always go “It looks like MacOS” but to me esp the icons just look like outdated Linux Mint/Cinnamon from 15 years ago. If people like ot that’s cool, it’s just not for me.
Its unpopularity may be related to that it asks money or a positive review in a blog to even try. Used to be so a few years ago.
i wasn’t aware that it had changed like that; i stopped using it when i switch to linux laptops from linux companies like tuxedo and system76
I created a distro once for class that just had diaspora installed on a live CD. It was only used for demos a looong time ago. DiasporaTest.
Clear Linux.
I’m gonna go with Tom’s Root Boot. Or maybe the father of all live distros, Knoppix.
Didn’t think Knoppix was obscure, but that was my gateway to Linux first on all my personal PCs.
I guess the years have passed it by.
Not obscure but I love hyprland
Also not a distro.
No one ever mentions Crux Linux
Wsl just because it is from ms.
WSL isn’t a distro.
I think you mean Azure Linux ( formerly CBL Mariner ):
Of those I’be personally tried, certainly chimera linux or mageia
Feren OS, a linux distro focused in customization. Started as a Linux Mint derivative, is now based on Ubuntu and/or Debian (I’m not really sure)
Linux STD! Waaaay before skiddos had backtrack or kali
That’s an…interesting name.
Security Tools Distribution :)
floppyfw : turn a floppy into a firewall
Wait what? :o
C programming language also uses STD in a lot of the standard library names (short for standard). I wonder if the creators of both didn’t realize when they named it or did and thought it was funny. My bet is the latter.
