Sickday

I see. When I wrote that out it was more of a “Why would some one pick this over CachyOS or plain Arch?” and I think you’ve adequately answered that.

I have NEVER had less issues with an OS ever since running Arch and/or CachyOS

I can say the same, except I’ve never had a real issue with Arch in the 15(+) years I’ve known of it and used it. Every issue I’ve had with it was my own fault and was just part of learning of how package managers work. Nothing unique to Arch is inherently confusing or prone to user error in my opinion. But that’s just my own bias.

Good luck with this distro. My only bit of feedback is that distros with a bus-factor of 1 usually die out quickly (burn out is real). I would say if you’re planning to have any support channels look into on-boarding some trustworthy comrades to assist you with this. Other than that wish you the best homie!

What will this new distro do that CachyOS doesn’t already (or can’t) do?

Hey could you explain how that works? I thought Noctilia was a replacement shell for plasmashell. How do you use it alongside it? Do you just use the KWin compositor with Noctilia as the actual shell?

is it really so rare to just not really use your phone much in the US? There’s days I straight up forget I have a phone

Still looks like they allow it as long as it gets approval by the core team. Not saying I agree with that choice, but there’s still a very real chance LLM-generated code makes it into NetBSD.

Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

Kind of a small thing, but I use an Ultrawide monitor with Sway, so I wrote a oneliner to swap to a higher or lower display scale depending on the workspace I’m on. I like to game in full rez while I’d write code or read with a HiDPI resolution that’s easier to squint at. Also adding hotkeys to change scaling on demand is nice

I would agree, but most leases have stipulations that restrict voiding the contract “at any moment”. You have to do something to violate the lease agreement most times so this is even worse than renting.

but on desktop Linux you need to either create a new user (and remove world-readable permissions from your main account files), or create a custom Docker container, or create a chroot, or launch a VM

You don’t need to do any of that stuff to achieve application sandboxing. bubblewrap or firejail exist for exactly this purpose. Firejail in particular can integrate with AppArmor (which most mainstream distros that aren’t RHEL or Fedora ship with) so you get MAC on top of sandboxing.
