A form of Linux that actually fucking works with Nvidia hardware.
Why don't distros just include every package manager in the first place? I don't get it.

Different packaging policies would conflict.

Innovative. Not from Bell Labs. Not from MIT. Written in one language, but not C.
works with all my games
isnt windows
You can have all of that with Gentoo, minus pacman of course. Portage can do binary packages anyway though so you don't need pacman.
...
every linux distro with wine?

Don't like it? You can make you're own fork of pulse-os if you wish.

Source Mage package manager, sorcery.
All of the community contract from SMGL.
Automated hardening scripts for containers, network setup, etc.
Change the weird wizard theme for something else.
PCLinux surprisingly works like this.

>no systemd
Not only video games m8
Wine doesn't work with every single program
Doesn't it use RPM with apt? It's like the weirdest distribution I've ever stumbled upon. Nobody ever talks about it, it looks newbie friendly, it has the most idiotic name and branding, yet it seems to offer a solid experience and keep away from systemd.
All that is true.
>It's like the weirdest distribution
Specially true.
My all time favorite. Made me stop distro hopping.
If I had the money on me right now, I'd definitely donate to them. I appreciate the weirdness and abnormality. I'll throw it on my desktop once I've finished my Master's degree on Mac with Microsoft Word. I've only used PCLinuxOS with KDE, do they offer a decent i3 experience?
systemd is great. if you think it's shit you don't know what it does.

Wait..

Reminder that other package managers are 1990s technology with different names.
OSX
>Pacman
Or something that's sanely packaged where if you want to remove a program you never use, it doesn't remove the entire system because retarded/lazy dependency tree
>No rolling release
Something like Debian with ancient shit that works and doesn't break, but still gets security updates.
>Ubuntu font rendering by default
I'm too dumb to do it myself and too autistic to have anything else
I don't think that's much to ask, but still no luck
Source Mage is a pain in the ass. Selecting every config option for every package at install sucks. Global configs through USE flags are way more convenient and you can still do per package configs if you really want to.
