Oh wow, nice. Hey, bring it back. Make a BSD thread jk (i do really like BSD variants, certain ones have things that like, dang that wsht woulda been the best if it was paired w/ linux... maybe that requires a discussion/collab, LFS thread...)

Ha. You into Artix? I know people who are real into Gentoo but, ALas i will never have the time to investigate~anything more than what i wouldve looked at before, Arch & Debian-based, due to time restraints, and the amount of stuff i got going on now. I have done LFS, but that too im not sure i have time to maintain, given the direction ive already started. But LFS is def very interesting too, and i may return to that world someday. Theres just so much i got to do first.

Linux is for the back end.

Thats a nice way to put it. As i think i think of it like that, or atleast, the desktop experiences need some work, given they are fighting against the older paradigns, nd really just gotta go fully in one direction or the other, leaving the base Unix backend-ish to dwell on its own, and the more modern to go in what usually is questionable directions, but maybe they can work on it nd make it into something interesting, or just very solid and familiar...

I mean, i have alot of ideas~granted its in the backend space, figuratively speaking. Iuno, i guess its a long story. ive not found anyone that i can lend an ear to, to really delve deep into it jus yet.

Hey, dont get me started here, or ya know, or ill turn this into a very very long conversation thatll blow up the servers. or itll set a new record~for longist consecutive posts/characters sent in a session.

Thats amazing you bring up Unix, I've been trying to get people to see it as The Unix Philosophy, in terms of what Linux's direction really sat upon, and what those paradigms are still really sitting on. And after @Joseph Maynor made that connection of the backend-to Linux, that is potentially a way to frame it.

I mean, alot of the puzzle pieces are there, right, like I just so happen to have spent time looking at the terminal/shell, fonts, language, etc., neglected portions that no ones really gotten into as i have, but thats fine cause, these terms that yous may have mentioned bein funny, they are actually funny to me cause they are like, the direction im really trying to paint vividly on the walls~in order for it to be seen. Thinking of it as a Philosophy is really quite important as well, though its a Philosophy thats very frontal lobe... i mean, its not that hard tbh im makin it sound like tha, plus you hav me to lend your ear to in that regard (We have ChatGPT now, so alot of those conversations can be sortve, brainstormed w/ Ai first, to get started, or to get a sense of the questions you should be asking, or areas that yous are curious of... And i dont mean to elect yous specifically, i just mean "Anyone who is interested... or that wants to spend some weeks gettin in the weeds w/ some fairly crazy stuff")

Linux started as a clone of Unix.

MacOS too. MacOS is built on Unix.

Linux causes an addiction. I was to learn a lot to feel comfortable on linux because it better supports old hardware. Now, when I am comfortable, I realize I learned too much to return to windows.

O ya'. Linux will do that to yah.

Its like the movie hostile (2005), when they say, "where is this art show..." The Girl is like "No, Have a drink first" And he says,
"No. I don't want a drink. I wanna see some art." And then he goes there, and some random Chinese guy coming out of the show says, "You could spend all your money, in there..."

You could spend All your free time in linux. And, May or may not be worth it tho xD ha.

Im really great at marketing things to people, you know. "You ever seen that movie where Buffalo Bill/Bob has the girl down the well, and shes like, Mr. Im gonna kill your dog" the experience is exactly like that. You know? Get me on the marketing team.

I guess it depends on what profession you're in.  If you're a programmer, maybe Linux is enough of a front end for you.

ya true.

Hey, i figured out how to illustrate it. When you are jus startin out, its like you are jus learnin it, so its like buffalo bob or bill and the poodle scene. But then you get it up and running~which doesnt take long, and its then like this John Wick sequence (mind you, if you are into like audio nd stuff, im not sure its a good switch, cause theres no Ableton live... you gotta go in non ableton routes... which is fine, as theres lota interesting programs in the works)

*p.s. iuno what linux would have to do w/ dogs, as im more of a cat person myself xD but i guess it has somethin to do w/ dogs, maybe the cunningness of a dog or sumthin
