I can’t even feel superior to everyone when theirs so many arch installers!! I use real arch btw. I thought “I guess I should go to Gentoo” but then wait, CHROMEOS IS A GENTOO INSTALLER!
I feel like we only have two options now
- Ascend to BSD-land
- Ironically supporting Windows Unironically
edit: I have decided to replace my debian laptop with BSD
You must log in or register to comment.
Throw out all higher technology and exclaim how this makes you superior constantly.
Bout to do a complete 360 on the GPL
Everyone saying nixos the next arch but we are all traumatized so we dont even recommend it /hj. But actually dont use it, youre gonna give up or spend hundreds of hours crafting the perfect deployable system which youre never gonna deploy on anything other than your single laptop that has nixos.
The first person in real life that I met who used nixos was so proud to show off his configs. I let him, and was suitably impressed. I then returned home and decided to play dark souls 2 on my lovely little manjaro.
Imma be honest I never understood NixOS for laptop/workstations, these systems are highly volatile so setting up deployable builds sounds lke a nightmare. For Servers/Deployments it makes bunch more sense.
GNU Guix with the GNU Hurd kernel? A full GNU/GNU system, or GNU + GNU.
well GNU/GNU is just GNU :o
I like GNU^2
Technically
GNU/GNU = 1
damn guess im going back to 2nd grade
NetBSD
TempelOS?
This is the only correct answer.
Upgrade to CathedralOS time
plan9
If it was so good then where is plan10 though
Because it’s so good there is no need for plan10
holy ORZ
This is the actual only correct answer. Plan9 is unix but better and with an animal pet like Linux.
And it’s from outer space!
no it’s from bell labs
The best OS I cant wrap my head around.
Inferno would also be acceptable
Inferno would also be acceptable
Or revive an open source implementation of IRIX, port it for x86_64, and populate it with https://nekoware.me/.
… Or AROS (e.g. Icaros). Or is that maybe a regression, and only sense of superiority had from it, is from novelty and nostalgia…?
Run exclusively self made programs
Need a calculator? Program one and compile it
Well, within reason
&
Got an old wild idea resurfaced from that…
An OS “entirely” in Haskell.
… calculator: ghci.
… window manager: xmonad. … (and… a rewrite of X11 protocol in Haskell, sufficient to run xmonad).
… text editor: yi
… … and a Haskell shell… would surely be named hash.
I already have irc bots made from the tutorial to make an irc bot in Haskell… that could be converted to an irc client.
… doubtless many more Haskell tools to populate the rest of the purposes.
… Haskell tools to interface with the web could be interesting…
First you need to create a compiler
At first I thought you meant merely compiling everything by hand [(with make)], like LFS (and then thought LFS without following LFS… and then thought make life easy, start with just a kernel and busybox (or toybox)).
But yeah… that’d be the real kudos.
I’ve made a small start towards that, having written my own text editor. (And, I suppose, in a way, my own irc client, “diis”.)
But that’s a long way from writing my own kernel and userland and other advanced accoutrements.
Maybe instead of writing own kernel, could just fork one. … Maybe Ironclad… or even Hurd.
As it turns out programming a calculator can be quite complex: https://chadnauseam.com/coding/random/calculator-app
probably quicker and easier to just write whatever calculation you need in python
Lol new license, you way read my source code but you may not run it/use it/ do literally anything with it
NixOS is the new Arch. I’m surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.
NixOS user here; please do not recommend NixOS.
I don’t use NixOS btw.
i use nixos, i dont recomend nixos.
Ive noticed this, arch almost just works but my nixOS friends are always complaining about something
Yessss…
Come to Gentooooo.
Come.
Muahahahhahaha. *Lightning & Thunder!*
Gentoo is easy and almost user-friendly.
Specially coming from Arch it should be a breeze.
Plan9 sounds like a more exclusive deal.

Less prone to randomly biting your head off anyway.
More tame.
Takes more petting though, to get it to settle.
OS2/Warp
I bought a laptop in 1995 with OS2/warp on it. An IBM thinkpad 365xd. It was a glorious time.
Honestly, I’d love to try a VM of it. I have not investigated how actually do that though lol
We’re a bit of a way off but https://www.redox-os.org/news/ and https://asterinas.github.io/blog.html look interesting
Nixos. Or guix
Honorable mention
Plan9
https://100r.co/site/uxn.html is a fun one :D
It can run on just about anything.
Oh, that is fun. I didn’t know about that one.
* opens about page. * rabbits rabbits rabbits
Write your own OS running on RISC-V.
Im forking RISC-V to the GPL and writing a new OS ontop of it
Lol - well fork about and you might update consequences
One of the more obscure variants of BSD. Alternatively, GNU/Hurd
TempleOS for the nuclear option.
