Never seen this animation. Is it similar to 'Land of the Lustrous"?

One million dollars can’t do jack shit to “fix” this world. It’s like telling the doctor to put an adhesive bandage over a third-degree burn.

It’s the same fucking guy, jumping between different instances. What a sore loser they must be.

This image is misinformation. That’s not a filesystem, that’s a layout standard called the FHS. Filesystems are FAT32, BTRFS, EXT4, etc.

This is the FHS layout, which is one of the common layout style for Unix-like OSes, and it has nothing to do with Linux or filesystems in general. Misleading information. GoboLinux has what they call the GoboLinux hierarchy layout, that adheres to NeXTSTEP or BeOS. Nix and Guix has the Store hierarchy layout, wherein, everything is contained inside a store directory. Filesystems include FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, BTRFS, Bcachefs or EXT1/2/3/4, just to mention a few examples.

Apologies for being defensive, I accept that I am in the wrong here - I had to assume the worst owning to the silent-toxicity through down-votes, because they’ve assumed internally that I’ve called their favorite distro just the “same” as the distro that they probably hate.

A “traditional” Linux follows a FHS build, comes with a general package manager that is usually centralized, and can have one version of a program. You can only have one version of a particular program for the given OS version, and may have to use tools like venv or asdf to use older versions. Examples include Debian and Fedora, as well as it’s derivatives. These traditional distros come with profiles, or flavours, like KDE, GNOME, or some other desktop environment.

GoboLinux is the original Linux OS that deviated from the FHS layout. With this, now you could have multiple versions of the same applications alongside, without having conflicts. ClearLinux (from Intel) and CachyOS (independent) are distros that build optimized binaries. I’ve not delved much into either of them, but I would like to think that having a tuned distro is quite nice.

Henceforth here, most of the distros can be called as meta-distibutions. These are distros that are a little “flexible” when it comes to installing. There’s no pre-defined profiles and flavours, but this also means that you have control over what you can choose to install. Examples include Arch, Void, Gentoo and their derivatives.

Of these, Gentoo (back then - this does not hold true today) and Void are special in the sense that they came with the most barebone stuff, and you had to use their tooling to build Linux, as well as the entire desktop and application from scratch. I am not sure who the target audience might be, but I’m assuming that most probably this includes people who don’t trust repositories or substitute servers.

NixOS and Guix are functional, transactional and declarative distros that provides you with isolation via ephemeral shells - which can be either pure or impure, store-based file layout (hash, followed by package name and version) and the option to host containers and virtual machines within the OS as a neat in-built feature. Each time you “build”, you create your own distro generation, based on your own config, with the option to switch between them, without having to reboot. The store-based file layout was probably an inspiration from GoboLinux.

SerpentOS is a new experimental OS in development - from what I know, these folks have embraced memory-safe languages for their tools. Another cool features is that the packaging it is quite nice and uses the well-known YAML format, as an alternative to Arch’s PKGBUILD or Fedora’s spec. There’s a lot of experimental stuff that I am not following, but it also shares some features with immutable distros. T2 SDE (not T2Linux, my bad) is another such meta-distro that I am aware of, but I haven’t delved into it. It is being developed by Rene Rebe. There’s also other cool distros, like for example Bedrock Linux, or Slackware, but I don’t follow them a lot, so I can’t speak for them.

Not falling for the debatebro bait. I’ve placed quotation marks around “special” for the same reason, stop putting your words in my mouth.

Is that you in the right picture?

If you want a “special” distro, use something like GoboLinux, NixOS, Guix, ClearLinux, SerpentOS, CachyOS or T2Linux. The rest of them are almost the same.

OSMAnd works really well. For YTMusic, you can instead pick LibreTube and use it in music player mode.

This you?

Thanke Zchön, thiß waß inßightvul.

Words that start with S are pronounced like Z. R is not a the end, so it is Rrrr, not R. Therefore, the real word is ZCHMETTERRRRRLING.

So they should be in an interracial relationship. Got it 👍 .

Don’t take the above comment seriously, I was being sarcastic.

What about data structures like gap buffer or piece table? Would they be ideal for something like, say, a TUI-interface application?

If you see rule #3 of this community, it mentions that support question should be posted at /c/[email protected].

Search depends on what you would like to find: from the web ui, you have to select the type (comments, users, posts), then choose the scope (all, local, subscribed), then choose the sort type (top all time, controversial, new, old, etc).

The rest of the forms (like community, creator) are self-explanatory - community drop-down won’t work if you’re searching for a community, likewise creator drop-down won’t work if you’re searching for a user.

To ping and mention a user, @<user>@<instance>.<domain> (e.g.- @[email protected] ) should work. To just mention them, /u/<user>@<instance>.<domain> (e.g.- /u/[email protected]) should do. To point a specific community, /c/<insert-community-name> (e.g.- /c/[email protected]) should work.

But wouldn’t this be potentially unsafe? What programming language has this type of implementation, by the way?

I am talking about modern, or slightly dated-but-easy-to-implement alternatives to C string, like for example, the pointer+length encoding method in Rust, (which is also called record method, I think?), or the Pascal string method.

Are we talking lip-to-butt or butt-to-butt? Not that I am interested in either of them, but I want to understand your psyche. More specifically, what tragedy made you come up with this idea.
