not every OS
FPBP except it's not what you're using. Temple OS doesn't use internet
>it's not what you're using
yes it is
>TempleOS doesn't use internet
it does when you write network drivers, TCP/IP and TLS support, and a web browser, which is what i did
>I defaced God's temple
Enjoy hell moron.
doubt more like youre using the pozzed fork
clearly i'm using vanilla TempleOS, but believe whatever you want, i don't know why IQfy thinks everytime someone writes programs for TempleOS it has to be "a fork"
is the source code public?
no, he makes these posts just to brag
bazed
Boys? I'm thinking we're back.
hi crunklord420
not him but i appreciate his work, i heard he improved on some of my code which is very cool
Kek, why do you use Temple OS anyway? Other than the lulz I see no reason to.
Total freedom is more important than everything else on the net
when you have to build everything from the ground up it makes you appreciate the effort that goes into shitposting
Burn in hell for desecrating the holy temple

Why?

this might be the answer i've been looking for

Base TempleOS enjoyer who also commented in my 'sagna thread.

Anon by any chance hove you fapped to internet porn on temple OS? It would kinda be an amazing achievement if you did.
Does pic related still exist
abandoned due to dilution of Holy C with inferior programming languages
yes, but not publicly
>5 years ago
that version is terribly out of date
Gentoo is unironically great.
Just use LTSC.

You're not going to get completely away from spyware or imperfections, but you can still have a good, dependable setup. If you want Linux, try Debian with Flatpaks. You still have Debian as a rock solid base, and any software you need the newest version of can be installed via Flatpak. If you need Windows for something, Windows 10 LTSC is pretty stable and low on bloat by Windows standards. It just werks for the most part. It's still closed source spyware, which can be mitigated, but it's best to stick with Debian for anything you really don't want Windows to see. Have separate machines or hard drives for each depending on your needs, and keep at least your Debian install encrypted.
Flatpak transforms your linux into a moronic android
Just fricking no.
What do you mean? I've used Flatpak for years with zero issues.
>living on the edge, if the edge is constant SELinux alerts
what is even the issue?
I went to fedora expecting to distrohop again, and I am here years later
>venture into Linux with openSUSE Tumbleweed, hoping for security and stability
>stability
Stability in the Linux speak doesn't mean "not going to crash" or anything, it simply means no major version upgrades for any package. Therefore a rolling release distribution can never be "stable".
None of those memes matter in the real world so the real question is why you so badly want them to.
You don't need to run a SCIF unless that's actually your job.
You don't need to have anything compromising on computers. Before we had personal computers life functioned just fine. I was alive then but unlike you I don't need validation from trifles like an OS choice. I run whatever serves me as they cost nothing.
Have seperate computers. Run arch on the laptop, and debian on the desktop, or which ever works for you depending on your hardware
>Arch Linux: ... where the installation is a rite of passage
Filtered by fricking Archinstall?
It's been a couple minutes of selecting stuff in simple menus for a few years now. If that's really too complicated, you can use EndeavorOS.
>use arch, get backdoored by glowies before anyone even knows
>use debian, get ACKed by 1 year old security exploits
I don't feel so good linuxbros
>Arch Linux: a testament to masochism, where the installation is a rite of passage
Artix has an installer and it's easy to follow, so just use that.
>>Arch Linux: a testament to masochism, where the installation is a rite of passage
Just use Archinstall if you are too weak-willed. It's official tool.
take it from a mogul
use Windows
come home white man
Sorry honey, but I'm gonna keep fricking Arch in its tight ass
>use mint as my introduction to Linux.
>Keep with it.
The only true answer.
This really is a first world problems kind of post. Just shut the frick up and get your work done like everybody else?
>Muh OS isn't a literal perfect piece of software
???
thanks, but I'll keep using Debian stable with my outdated, yet safe, xz-utils
you didn't intrigue me with the debian argument.
debian is exactly what i look for.
test
What about NixOS. The installation process is you write a text file, run a couple of commands, and it just werks.
archinstall made Arch available to morons like me.
Sure, there are atill some minor bugs, but Arch + gnome-shell has been a nice experience so far. It's minimal and has zero telemetry.
I am never going back to windows or mac, both feels poverty compared to my current setup.
homie use pop os or linux mint
Stop getting depressed, install Windows 11 and get a job. You will be happier with money in your pockets.
>Windows 11
How about no.
Ok, then cry that the world is le bad.
how am I able to tell this post was written by chatgpt
also, I get no SELinux alters on fedora. seems like a (You) issue
>start with Windows, expecting productivity
it did give you productivty despite being proprietary, at least it didn't disrespect you like 10 does but the last good version actually meant for desktop users was actively sabotaged into obscurity
shut the frick up you absolute homosexual. fedora or opensuse, both with gnome or kde, work absolutely fine. we now live in an era where you can install linux in 5 minutes, break free from the 1984 os windows and apple, and enjoy thousand of software with the cost of 0 fricking dollars, since people do it for you for FREE.
yet you are here complaining about absolute nonsense, the xz shit is just another proof that open source works and someone take care for it for YOU. frick off this board you dooming Black person
true. But it won't really matter when you get a job.
Artix never let me down! Arch should be pretty fool proof with community graphical installers, only time I suffer is when I forgor to update the novideo driver for my ancient card from the aur, but I've also run it on a more modern system with the only issues there being my moronic ass not updooting for months on end and the keyring gets out of whack.
I've personally accepted that every OS is a compromise and there's no "Good OS" only less shit ones. You can try to make your own, it's surprisingly easy, especially if you go the nix/bundle route
come home white man

Ain't these the commie blm acab lgtv+ anihomosexuals?
Made by, I mean. That's part of why I don't use it, it's /misc/ tier
NTA but despite their cringy antifascist larp, it has its own charm. no systemd, elogind and it supports both new and old hardware by offering old and new custom kernel versions out of the box. i don't use it but i would definitely list it if someone asked me for some systemd-free distros.
>antiX linux
>doesn't use wayland
CRINGE
cringe political distro.
>Arch Linux: a testament to masochism
Why? I've installed it with the built-in archinstall script and it's been working pain free for months.
>Debian
it's the best if your looking for privacy, customization and stability. you want admins to actually verify packages? that takes time little bro
>Arch Linux
the installation is seriously not that bad. just follow the instructions. it wasn't affected by xz despite being rolling release. they're based in my book. you could always just install endeavouros instead
>Gentoo
it depends on your cpu, but only kernels and browsers really last that long compiling
You could try openSUSE Leap. Tumbleweed is probably fine too, it just happened to get hit by this rare vulnerability that nobody saw coming.
open-poo-sah is literally the worst distro on the planet.
>install Windows 11

life gets a lot better

you are the last person someone should listen to or take seriously
>distro hopping troony
can't even settle on a gender, never mind computer os
The Debian packages aren't that outdated. for most stuff you probably don't care anyways.
Diagnosis : You are moronic
you still didn't try BSD or Haiku

>measure install times in cups of coffee
I never drink more than 17 cups of coffee during a Gentoo installation.
After the more recent backdoor I have just decided that Linux is insecure and can never be since open source is just fundamentally moronic. Design by committee is how open source operates, and it doesn't work and is not safe for software.
So I bought a Mac! Enjoy distrohopping poorgays
>poorgays
the cope. I've met a lot of macgays, not a single one wasn't neck deep in debt, or had any savings, all their money was in credit and they lived paycheck to paycheck.
>bought a mac
enjoy your hardware backdoors instead.
>linux is insecure
as if any blackbox a corporation that cannot legally claim to have backdoored on behalf of a government agency was any more secure. your paid security "experts" won't find half as many exploits as a bored autist.
it's also not a linux backdoor, it's a compression library backdoor targeting servers, the kernel is fine, any cve found is patched overnight, shit, that's what happened to the xz xploit, it affected NO ONE unlike the ones found on winblows which are only patched after a gorrillion dolaridoos in damages, same with gayOS
all in all, gr8 b8 m8
Just installed FreeBSD. Holy shit this thing is so smooth compared to bloatware that is called linux. Even fonts are rendered properly, nice and crisp, not like in some distros where everything is blury even with same font and settings (fricking GTK devs changing things again). I'm coming from arch because recent kde 6 wayland update messed up a lot of things and even fresh install without any bloat feels so sluggish, laggy and unresponsive. FreeBSD just werks, there are no weird rendering artifacts with nvidia driver, no systemd bloat, configuration is very simple and all the same programs are there.
Make your own OS. If no one else can do it right, do it yourself.
