Experimenting with MX right now and debating if encrypting the homedir (which MX does) is enough v. doing LUKS/LVM for the whole drive (which I do in other distros) for CYA work security purposes.

Github just suggested this one to me:

oasis — a small statically-linked linux system

It uses the velox window manager, which appears to be very similar to dwm but running under Wayland

^ interesting. Report back when you have tried it please.

Will do

Can't quite figure out the build system atm (ninja & lua based?) but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.

How many different distros have I used? GEE ... Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, antiX, Chakra, Trisquel, Peppermint, Mint, Mageia, wattOS, Bodhi, Debian, elementary, Greenie, SalentOS, LXLE, Linux Lite, MX Linux, PCLinux OS, and those are just the ones I remember!

MX is growing on me. I did make a wacky antiX/BL setup and may yet try it with MX.

Checking out Xebian linux -

^ A pre-configured Debian XFCE distribution? Very nice

Shame they don't do a version based on stable.

EDIT: MX Linux have that covered though 8)

MidnightBSD is a desktop fork of FreeBSD and it's been in development since 2006.

It must be a very reliable distro, because when I had a look at their forum, there were not many issues to read about.

Btw just saw STAR. Interesting, based on Devuan.

Awesome distribution

Anybody who wants a #!-like distribution with nosystemd should check that out.

That's ozitraveller's project - does an excellent job with it.

^Indeed, thank you for pointing it out. No wonder that concept looked familiar.

OpenBSD 6.3 is out:

https://www.openbsd.org/63.html

I've been using -current for ~3 years now and it just keeps getting better & better

Anybody with Intel or AMD hardware (there is some Ryzen support now) should try it out; no NVIDIA users though

Checking that out now, sounds interesting.

nice find dolly
cli focused, dwm and openbox, no loginmanager, no systemd, no bells or whistles... hmm, smells like home.

edit: oh, and this

Did you know that "crunkbong" is a nonsense-homonym of the name "crunchbang," a once-popular Linux distribution now owned by BunsenLabs? Pretty cool, huh?
That's fun.

Nice find and sounds like someone saying CrunchBang in some funky accent

Bet it should be easy to get that Bunsen-ified easily
