Yes. But if 90% of your friends use it, and have groups in it where things are planned and organised, then by not having it you’re going to be missing out on a big chunk of things going on around you.

The challenge is that these days a phone is rarely used for calls or texts, but used with apps like WhatsApp or Teams or Slack or your mobile banking app, or things like that. And so there would need to be a critical mass of these apps to get me to switch.

I’ve just cancelled my Medium subscription. I was finding myself going there less and less. So many articles saying the same thing in various levels of broken English.

I think it gives everyone the same list of 29, but it’s the order that’s important. Gentoo came back as my top. I use Void which came back as 4th in my list.

Well at least at the end of the questions the distro I use (Void) was somewhere near the top of the list (4th).

I’m an avid Void user, so I get the value of linux. But I cringe every time I see a comment like this. The OP has asked a specific question about a specific version of a specific OS. Someone asking about an OS should not be considered an invitation to tell them about another.

Its got the same ‘start raw’ that you get with Arch, so you can build it exactly the way you want. But you can also choose to go MUSL instead of GNU if you choose, and it’s non-systemd if that makes a difference.

It’s rolling release, but still stable, so I can upgrade after leaving it a month and be confident it’s unlikely to break as a result.

Hahaha that’s ok. I’ve tried them all except Slackware. Even gave LFS a go. But Void is home for me.

There was a day when I wouldn’t have dreamed of seeing Void in a list. I’m glad those days are gone.

Filesystem Table.

It’s a shortening. Not a shortening of File Systemtable though.

I use it as my primary home machine, running bspwm. I enjoy it, and find once configured it just works. Primarily web browsing, Kicad and OpenSCAD, and some Python development.

Because I don’t want my Firefox window overlapping my Vim window.

Is it the compositor that gives the rounded windows?

I’ve got pfsense coming into the house, and then ubiquiti throughout.

Not Gentoo based, but have you considered having a play with Void? It’s a stable rolling release, bare bones with it’s own init. Very customisable. I’m using it as my daily driver outside work use (Linux isn’t allowed), and not having any problems, while still getting to tinker.
