WDYM so I shouldn’t make an anime flavored, Arch based distro named Archuwu?
UwUntu needs some competition
I can totally picture this. Cutesy sound effects, characters pulling up/down menus, sparkle effects...
Where can I get it?
ETA iso, wen?
Where is it? Give it to me now
You can make pony flavored Debian based distro named Derpian
Bruh this is needed
You should, and you shouldn't let anyone stop you!
Make a Linux app, make a Linux distro, who cares...
How about you just let people do what they enjoy doing.
Make a Linux app, not war.
Yeah, this is obnoxious.
It's also truly terrible at being persuasive.
The “Where to start” section should be a “Not You” meme, with Electron in the middle square
Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn't count.
You are comparing Apples to oranges. While it may be true that Linux may have more software available, in my experience macOS has a shit ton of productivity software as well, and many times, due to being for-profit, of higher quality. That's exactly why I've been thinking about giving my own try to making a launcher like Raycast for Linux.
I think I live in a foss bubble, haven't paid for software for... Too long 😹. Would you make it foss or paid or something else?
Yeah I recently went back to Linux as a daily driver and was blown away how easy stuff like flatpaks made it to do everything I need quickly. That wasn’t the case last time I used Linux for something more than a quick and dirty VM host.
It's fun and games... until you get lots of "...just like X command?" commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.
t. Been there, done that.
"Yes, exactly like this 🦆 command I didn't know of before."
Its not like there many Windows "Apps" being made. Almost everything these days is web based on the desktop.
How about instead of making yet another Linux distro, you just make an install script instead? I'm personally more likely to try out an install script over a totally pointless ISO....
I'm sorry but no AUR mention?
Maybe we need a new distro that comes with vscode installed so we don’t have to do it!
I'm interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn't cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it's not a distro) or something else unique. I'm tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.
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.
