From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven't found a reason to leave yet.
What systems do you use? I mean boot, init, home and all of that...
I just use the defaults for everything, haha! Just grub2 for the bootloader, openrc for the init system.
By "home" do you mean DE/WM? If so, I use dwm for my laptop and sway for my desktop.
I meant alternatives to systemd-homed, systemd-machined and the likes. Since I'm on NixOS, I'm restricted to most of the systemd stuff. I'm not even sure if I need all of them.
I don't even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don't use it 🤷♂️
Now I'm being dragged into the anti-systemd ideology. I have a bunch of CLI utility that I have never ever touched since the three years I've been on Linux. I just came across
homectl,machinectlandtimedatectl, and I'm convinced that the part about "bloat" does make a lot of sense now.I don't really care either way. I like things to be more minimal, but I'm not really anti-systemd or anything like that. I've just been using openrc for a few years now, and haven't used systemd enough to learn about the homed stuff I guess
