Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
I’m kinda under the impression that he doesn’t really do that anymore
Second this recommendation
That’s awesome!! I’m sure they may run into challenges with the infrastructure and logistics stuff, but if we don’t start figuring out the challenges this can’t become common
It’s worth knowing that the new versions of FreeCAD are apparently way better, but that those improvements haven’t made it into the stable release yet (I think…). Also there’s a fork maintained by a company that apparently makes some improvements but has some tradeoffs like cloud saves or something
There was a ton of useful info in this video, if you’re considering free cad it’s probably worth checking out :)
Thats awesome!
Well that’s super obnoxious
If you’re looking for something Foss the closest things I know are FreeCAD, and apparently there’s a blender addon that adds parametric cad functionality. I’ve found FreeCAD frustrating, but I’ve not tried the blender addon/extension or whatever
It’s fair if you ignore that it’s a problem of their own creation 😅
I do understand the point you’re making though
Thats delightful!
Fuckin dope!
I was curious so I took a look, the new icon theme looks lovely
I haven’t used Inkscape much for a while but it’s always cool to see a project you’ve used a lot thriving!
I assume you’re not, but you aren’t logged in are you?
Otherwise I’d say fingerprinting or identifying your machine like another commenter suggested
Void is an option that seems like a good fit, but you’d need to figure out if it supports your hardware well since the hardware is so new. Its a stable rolling release that uses runit which seems like a lot of peoples favorite alternative init system.
Fedora is maybe also worth considering but it uses systemd. Not sure if it has minimal packages, but I’m pretty sure fedora has official Framework support, including for the 16, and strikes a really good balance between having current packages and cutting edge hardware support, and being stable.
Also, sorry people are ignoring what you said you want and are telling you what you should want instead 😅 not helpful y’all.
My impression is that Debian unstable/testing is generally considered much more stable than arch, I assume that extends to devuan. But I think they also share packages, which means packages have been patched a ton, which it sounds like you don’t want (I assume that’s what you meant by “mininal packages”)
Void Linux! It’s a very simple, completely independently distro without a dependence on a corporate funded project. It uses runit in place of systemd (I don’t mind systemd but it seems a lot of people just like runit better for being smaller, neater, and very reliable, which is cool)
It has a “stable rolling release” update model and provides vanilla packages. And the package manager xbps can install pre-compiled binaries or function more like portage or BSDs ports system for building from source (full disclosure, I’ve never used any of those nor the functionality in xbps so I don’t understand it super well). Oh and the community is helpful, and the documentation is pretty strong and doesn’t always just give you commands to run blindly (as someone who is trying to get more confident in the terminal I find that helpful)
The project has a very “less is more” philosophy which I really appreciate.
My one disappointment is that there isn’t a package kit implementation for xbps so I can’t use the graphical software store provided by my desktop environment :(
Looks fantastic!!
I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)
Fair honestly, I’m more or less in the same boat 😅
I’m glad you at least have a working system. And thank you, I appreciate it very much. I’ll find my way back where I need to be, I just have to figure out how first
Hey, sorry for just never getting back to you, I’m not going to be able to take a look at it, I’ve found myself in somewhat of a mental health crisis, but I hope youre able to work it out, I’m wishing you luck
Dude thats fucking awesome
