Will they be hosted somewhere where we can all contribute git/wiki? Would like to contribute, but hard to do that without knowing what is in them.

Yes, it is only for playing around. Basically, it is a fully functional environment that can also be used to install it on your computer. So when you are done playing around, you can just use it to install it to your computer. It will be a fresh installation with no changes you made during your time playing with USB installation. Most distros nowadays have nice graphical installer, so you can do what you want with your hard drive, wipe it clean, install it alongside your current OS.

Lol, nice.

Yep, basically, it is really nice. The only issue is that it is still a pretty niche distro, and if something is not supported it can be a bit annoying (but not much worse than in a normal distro). And the documentation is rather lacking, but both of these issues are something I hope will get better with time and more users.

Exactly if something I want more telemetry in my system that is more easily accessible. I can't imagine living for example without SMART.

I always actually wonder if that is an actual issue. Apart from some duplicate effort with things like packaging for different distros (which is something that distro maintainers do anyway) I don't really get this point. For me, this only makes sense for proprietary packages and not for open source.

Apart from some small differences in how you install packages, using most distros is basically the same.

I am always confused by this point because I see it repeated everywhere, but never with a good argument supporting it.

Who says the distribution of glibc 2.3.4 you and I have are the same? It only depends on where you got it from. And even then we can build it with different flags etc. Not really sure how rust is worse in that one. On the contrary, usually when you build software in C/C++ you dynamically link. So you have no idea what version of libraries someone is using or where they got it. In that sense, Rust's approach is actually safer.

That just depends on what you use. There are loads of distros that allow you to use whatever you want. There are only so many ways you can do stuff, and it doesn't make much sense to differentiate if you don't have reason to. You have some genuinely diverging distros like NixOS that are significantly different.

Not really sure what corporate media you read. In my experience, most of those are just a popularity contest. And usually there are non-corporate distros like arch, Debian, etc. And with desktops I mean I am not even sure there are ten desktop environments (at least with some reasonable amount of users).

Nice, thanks, that works.

Why should that be part of lemmy? If you really wanted such feature it should be independent something like plugin into your browser. Same way as you would use plugins for things like spell checking.

Probably Minecraft or LoL. But it has been a long time since I played them. Nowadays, I mainly just play indie roguelikes.

I am very curious about this. It would be really nice if federation in git took off. Hopefully, it could be the thing to finally get more to move away from GitHub.
