  • Try pr0n sites, they usually have stuff like that laying around.

  • Have to agree on that. SSD and RAM prices have gone down significantly.

  • Third world countries: We must 😔...

  • I'd suggets Void. It has Ardour in the repo (not Reaper though) and PiperWire with JACK should work out of the box. If you want Reaper, you'd have to install it manually though. I'm working on a template for Reaper, but it's not finished yet. If you're willing to wait a month or so, you'll probably have Reaper in xbps-src as well.

  • Whatever it is, my gut tells me I'm gonna like it!

  • Not even console locale did on my notebook, have to fix that setup sometime.

    What exactly did you do that you couldn't change your locale? You do know that you have to reconfigure glibc-locales afterwards.

    And the installer is pretty barebones and a bit buggy.

    What exactly is buggy about the installer?

    Nononono, there are only two POSIX certified linux distros: K-UX and Huawey's EulerOS.

    POSIX certification costs money. There are a lot of distros and OSes that are POSIX compatibe, just not certified.

  • No, it's not Arch without systemd. Arch breaks a lot more than Void does. Ask Void users when was the last time a Void update broke their system. I use it as a daily driver, plus for a lot of other things (at work and home) that are considered mission critical. I would never use Arch for that. Also, it's faster than Arch, it supports A LOT more architectures than Arch does... or any other Linux distro for that matter (LFS excluded).

  • Hell, I watched them without subs, lol 😂. CN was a blast in the 90s and early 2000s 🥹.

  • Here, 25GB BR is about $4. DVDs are about $0.20.

    • It doesn't use systemd, it uses runit.
    • The repo is full of any software you might need, including proprietary (through xbps-src).
    • Everything just works, if it doesn't it's probably your fault.
    • It's a rolling release distro, yet focused on stability and usabilty, so you won't get the latest and greates, but instead builds that are known to be solid. For example the kernel, it's not the latest, as is with Arch, but it's maybe one or two minor versions behin. The same applies to software, they're known to jump versions if the current build proves to be unstable.
    • Lightning fast boot up. It's also the fastest distro there is, apart from the *BSDs.
    • Compiling and testing is a breeze thanks to xbps-src.
    • A lot of tools and scripts that make building templates for software not in the repo very easy.
    • Supports a lot of architectures. NetBSD is the only other POSIX OS that supports more architectures than Void.

    There are other things, I'm sure, but these are the ones I can think of ATM.

  • Try Void. I was aiming at Arch as well, but then I stumbled upon Void... never made the switch to Arch.

  • Roxy Raye... Legend...

  • BR discs are still very expensive and will most probably be for a very long time. So are the BR drives. That's why I still use DVDs.

  • I just tell them there are pirate subs (comms), that get's their attention rather quickly.

  • Yeah, I'm running my personal NAS on the company's electricity bill 😁.
