classy 🙂

lynx (when possible), fff, cmus, mutt, latex, core-utils, mupdf (vi like keybindings), sxiv, mpv (no-gui)

i only use gui programs if no cli option exists: js-browser, gimp

... and that is why the average user stays an average user.

Hey, i wanted to ask that!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

"...This style was based on the use of tools: using programs separately or in combination to get a job done, rather than doing it by hand, by monolithic self-sufficient subsystems, or by special-purpose, one-time programs."

The more you learn about the original vision,. .. it is kind of terrifingly brilliant and powerful. The architects knew exactly what they were doing. That's why in the late 70's they tried the keep it from the public! (you can send thx to rms - he opened it up for us)

Sure, systemd does what it is supposed to do. It is NOT bad design from the admins perspective, but from a os-architecture perspective. It is a huge single binary with a huge number of 0-day exploits (you can check those). The scale of the projects causes many possible exploits. A set of small programs, which do only one thing, is easier to maintain (^= decentralization of os-design)

1. There is not a scientific proof YET, but i think it can be done: for that we would need to program the "corner-stone", which would be the *nix-program #1 - something that could show practically what the pioneers of the *nix system envisioned. This practical proof is possible, if we deep dive into the POSIX definition to analyze for what it was made.

2. unix is a trademark, but what counts is the architectural vision behind it (D. Richie&co.) I think it would be better to avoid the tradmarked word (sry for using it) - *nix may be a proper word (although it implies that it is a whole group)

Hyperbola has the best vision for a clean and libre general-OS.

Yes, they very strict about the interpretation of "libre", but that makes the vision pure and crystal clear.

Jes, tio estas tre praktikema se oni uzas la terminalon por retbabili, kiel mi 😀

I think it is a very good thing to have TWO options when choosing a FSF conform distro. Yes, for a laptop linux may be the more versatile option (for now...) but on a server a BSD-distro will be pure gold.

p.s. i have no problems using bsd on a laptop right now - it's a very clean and well made system and the hardware support is sufficient.
