Hm, I tend to like weird small distros, but I don't think "This command-line-only OS can help you learn the CLI." is enough to recommend it. ALL distros have a terminal, and many many of them are similar to this distro.

"Peropesis is a special kind of Linux distribution."

No, its not, and the reviewer that have 'reviewed lots of distros' didn't even explain what boot system it uses. Is it a Debian variant or ? What does it do that any other distro with a terminal doesn't do ? (Except not being persistent/installable) Why not just spin up a normal Debian server in lxc ?

There are many other suitable terminal distros out there..

It's gonna be great. China is years ahead of western societies in any social technology !

The "Ball" we 'dropped' was just the soft-power technique of bullying everybody else - nations or humans alike - that didn't want to be run/owned by Western Oligarchs, and then hide the fact to its citizens. Someone should have kicked that ball of the field long ago.

So we are all lucky that US dictatorship is getting clubbered by all its enemies, and that China+ is appearing as the future direction of humanity..

China already did long time ago, and US were already finished before they put Trump on the spot.

All the insanity from 'Trump', was planned by think tanks years before, so ALL lib/dem presidents just played the big think tank game just like Trump, and he is just showing the real face/intents of the US fascist dictatorship. None of them - no matter 'side' cared about causes or people, and all of them played the pre-set game dictated by the US Oligarchs.

Current US behavior are just 'mask off' that shows who is really in charge in the US "Democracy" and what they think of anything else than keeping their property/power.

I have a hard time imagining devs from Gnu (Guix etc) not having anti-corp attitudes, but I don't know.

The whole open-source/Foss community have seen a huge influx of windows/AI 'normies' that does not share the collective 'ideals' where free/open are needed bco corporate tyranny/control (or whatever peeps did it for then). Newcomers are welcome, but they don't necessarily care about any of the reasons the open source community survived and prospered. Currently the community is mostly viewed as just 'free' and 'open-source' tech standards pushed by corporates. They have inadvertently 'polluted the well' of what FOSS/open-source was, and reduced the unwritten ideals to just meaning 'free'. Corps use 'open-source' now to boost their ratings, and the general corporate attitude is to take instead of giving..

I think it is fairly normal that newcomers doesn't share all sentiments (whatever they are), so any growing movement must diverge/specialize. Here we are dealing with corporate encroachment and 'term-takeover' + a blatant attempt at setting the standards of the OS world. Corps will always do that, so as OP hints at, we may need to create a term that defines non-corporate/non-fascist digital living more directly.

However, it's not easy agreeing what a new term should include/exclude.

Get rid of capitalism and it is fine..

"We’re sorry, but this video is not available."

Taken down apparently..

Its ready as flatpak..

For Life..

Every early part of the first llms have exploded and become the target for immense resources/development. This tree of techniques will continue to split and grow, and all 'slop'/quality complaints and a swath of jobs will disappear quicker than new ones develops.

Commoners should indeed create an independent open and safe computing environment and even basic societal functions. Open communication, storage, development, food, housing where possible and everything else is possible now that this AI tool can work for us too. If we can think it, we can build it.

But I think we should aim higher than "support workers" as the highest goal this time. Let's go for "no workers needed" and build a society around that principle. We can easily design and maintain a societal environment that optimizes for our common well-being and prosperity, but we need the current archaic and combative win/lose architecture to crash and burn, so another can emerge.

We have a short window to prepare/discover new institutions and processes for an open/safe society without Capitalist parasites in power..
