oh and props for that… for doing and making new things in general

Just that distro-where-a-theme-would-do is something I see a lot of and people might wind up tackling a larger harder problem than they need to and not spending as much time & effort on the stuff they intended to.

And, a lot lot lot more people can easily download & appreciate a theme than move distros (though some perverse individuals make a habit of the latter)

Like a lot of Linux distros, this should have just been a window manager theme and maybe a helper app

Absolutely no sense bringing in stuff like init system and depmod and C compiler version when what you care about is UI theming

TBH it has not really been an issue for me. My biggest real beef is just that I prefer just having regular text files in /var/log instead of using journalctl. And I feel like it’s a Microsoft-style monolith that flies in the face of the Unix philosophy that I honor and revere.

Use any distro you like! Just make sure it is without systemd

I was being a bit loose. You can video record people in public – just not audio. Any audio on your video recording device makes it illegal.

There are 13 US states like this

Where I live, recording someone without their consent – even in public – is a crime.

I have personally argued both sides on this. Over time I have come to favor it.

EDIT: some background

It’s mindblowing how early in the game Windows became enshittified

“OMG you got a new CPU and harddrive, maybe this is a pirated copy…”

TBH I chose Funkwhale for my solution because it looked easy and out of the box, I just add a single Docker and subdomain to my existing site.

It wound up being more or less what you describe.

I may well follow OP’s guide and nuke my Funkwhale despite the work I put into it and the fact that it does basically work for its intended purpose

Question: did you consider Funkwhale , and if so why did you choose this other stack instead?

EDIT: fix link sry
