Is it possible to make an acceptably minimal website?
Owen Smith
pretty sure you can uncheck those, but I am used to the manual install, which you can do in void aswell. Of course gentoo is unmatched in terms freedom and customization.
Same thing for grub. The package maintainer set it to depend on os-prober, I never heard of grub needing os-prober to function. Usually I don't even use grub though, it just came with the install script.
Is xbps unable to suggest packages, so maintainers just set them as depends?
Evan Ramirez
sometimes a program can stop working if you ignore the dependencies.
Isaac Johnson
In my opinion, debian.org is acceptably minimal.
Grayson Barnes
should I switch from debian to devuan
how's it compare to sid?
Daniel Bell
how's the firmware package named in void's repo?
Noah Bell
linux-firmware-nvidia, linux-firmware-intel, etc
Charles Jones
its just debian with different defaults. they didnt even recompile packages so many things do still depend on systemd
One thing is stopping me from switching to Void. Musl vs glibc What issues if any will I have using musl?
Jose Miller
you can use glibc on void aswell. They just give you the option of chosing musl instead. >wiki.voidlinux.eu/Musl
Robert Nelson
Didnt know Thank
Ian Bell
Is Haskell and functional programming in general considered minimal, or is software written in C the only thing considered minimal?
Luke Rodriguez
>What issues if any will I have using musl? Depends. I'm running a bunch of services on a home server of mine that has the musl variant of Void installed. Uptime hit two months today. So it's not completely unstable or anything. That being said, I'd stick to glibc for the time being. Void is exceptional. I'll be forever grateful to my friend who suggested it to me. Been a real godsend. Installation is simple, runit is a blessing, everything pretty much "just werks." Hope you have fun with your install, lad.
1.So my laptop is a POS, and I want to run a linux system on it, are there any minimalist distros that would "just work" on it?
2.What do you think is an effective entrypoint to computational minimalism?
3. What do you value about minimalism?
4. What do you hope to achieve by lurking this thread? And threads like it?
Isaiah Bell
Bump, also curious
Adrian Harris
I think this will come out as flaming on this general but don't take it as such, I'm not trying to do that. I'm just wondering up to what point isn't minimalism lack of features.
For example on the wiki it says >Programming language designers can create minimal programming languages by eschewing syntactic sugar and extensive library functions. But syntactic sugar helps make the code neater, easier to read and in a way more minimalist. In a way C is syntactic sugar for assembly. This seems more like the question of balancing complexity in software design, you have to compromise at some point. And big enough software is complex enough that it cannot be minimalist.

I'm gonna start building my own collection of alpine ports

Hunter Martin
Installing Void was the smartest thing ive ever done in my life
Ryder Nguyen
i can't take void seriously. Its such a hipster or meme distro
Ethan Sanders
Guys tell me the most minimal android rom is
Justin Lewis
is rust worth it or is it just a fuckin meme and im wasting my time if i look at it
>Do I just read all the manpages and hope for the best Pretty much, worry not, OpenBSD manpages are great Unfortunately the next time you try something *nix you will find the man pages can be absolute shit and even meant to not be understood, systemd docs are some of the worst offenders in this >Am I right in assuming I have to do everything through the CLI? There's plenty of GUI tools to do all kinds of things, but configuring things it's usually done on text files which are easy to edit on a terminal
Carson Young
That's not flame at all user, rather a good point for discussion. C is higher level of abstraction from the machine compared to assembly. You don't need to make the code bloated to make it readable. Proper documentation is for that. Makes the code as understandable as you make it to be without hurting performance. The average pajeet codes like a baby and gives poor documentation, the software ends up inefficient and unreadable anyway. >suckless.org/coding_style This is a good read, not to be considered as the bible, tho.
Henry Brown
you know whats really minimalist using windows

you love 3dpd girls so much that you post them for no apparent reason instead of you femanizing

I want an app that I can use for facebook messaging so I dont have to use their shitty bloaty website to communicate with people

Bad OP
Samuel Morales
>muuh arch and debian on the picture >muuh not a faggot >muuh people actually talk about software without spamming nonsense about unit conventions or considering everything bloat >OP is bad the teacher is looking for you in the kids playground, get back to them.
Dont get me wrong, I like to see a good pic and not that shitty shota, but you need to change the pasta and you know it. Stop being an archfag.
Elijah Edwards
I'm the user you replied to but no the OP, I just like nya. He may be an archfag and I see nothing wrong with it. Arch is not minimal, arch has systemd, systemd is cancerous, I'm pretty sure we all agree on that. Too bad even debian has it and even debian is not minimal anymore. Devuan is a stupid meme only those kids from the previous OP would fall for. It's still in alpha stage and while its only purpose is to remove systemd from debian it still has some parts of it which they cannot remove. Still they both represent a good entry level for minimalism, for different reasons even if they aren't minimal like the thread would require. Plus, if he removes Arch and keeps debian, the Arch fanboys would derail the thread anyway.
Wyatt Phillips
Then he just copy the pastebins from the other OP and include arch. But having arch without devuan or debian is a bad idea imho.
Noah Adams
debian is in the op. The other op's pasta were just a collection of anything said in the threads to be liked and accepted and boost his pervertion. This OP is simple and straightforward, if anyone has things to add up that's what the discussion is for. And instead of including Devuan I'd include reasons why it's not included, which are the same as Artix, Parabola Just my opinion, anyway.
Zenburn is by far the best colorscheme for anything.
Elijah Bennett
I am not that weeb, you dick sucking faggot. Supporting that shit called systemd is why this thread sucks and needs someone else to do it.
Charles Torres
Yes. My personal website is ~500KB and has special fonts, 13 images, a relatively low amount of text, and requires no JavaScript. Best of all: it looks really, really good.
It's wonderfully MINIMAL.
Lincoln Hall
Holy fuck we need the UwUfag back
Gabriel Rodriguez
solarized is better
Michael Harris
Not even close.

>Install debian >It automatically installs a full office suite, multiple web browsers, 10 versions of solitaire, the developer's mix tape and programs that I have never even heard of before I can't believe you've done this

That's why it's the best Linux distro that actually gets used in enterprise environments.

Is there a way to undo chinkmoot's css fuckery in qutebrowser?
