Alpine, mainly. It’s not bad on desktop.

Nothing. There are just a lot of people in my Mastodon circle who use things like OpenBSD.
It also seems to be a popular OS to try and use during this year’s Old Computer Challenge.
I’ll wait and see how this turns out, but I’ll keep openbsd.org open in my browser. Just in case.
Guess it’s time to either get a new pendrive, or enter the void.
I have FreeBSD on my ThinkPad, and I’d use it on more of my boxes if any of the other WiFi hardware was supported.
This is the entire debian-official Tumblr, summed up in one photo.
To be fair, RBOS was the first distro to ship Wayland on the live image.
Probably wrote his own microkernel, tbh; but I reckon he would be a Slackware or Funtoo user.
As for why I sometimes use musl, I like BSD. Also, Alpine Linux uses it by default, and most glibc software I’ve tried works just fine with gcompat.

Well, since I started using the naming scheme, I have several lines of machines. Pearl-II (MacBookPro11,1; 2014) is the successor of Pearl (MacBook2,1; 2007), both of which are part of the Pearl line.
Essentially:
I also use the diamonds for my family’s devices, if I need to assign hostnames; and Jasper for any Windows devices or VMs I have to use.
Also, I only bought three of these devices: Garnet, Peridot, and Larimar. The rest I was given by my uncle over the course of about a decade. Essentially, whenever a line gets an upgrade, the other lines rearrange. For example, when I was given Pearl-II last month, it replaced Amethyst as the machine I take to sixth form, so Amethyst replaced Lapis, Lapis replaced the original Pearl, and the original Pearl was retired.
Before I started using this, I just used to use random names that had something to do with the OS, so my ThinkPad was “Nemesis” and my main machine was “Archangel”.
Cool! I name my storage drives after weather (e.g. STORM19, LIGHTNING12, REDSPRITE24).
Thanks!

“Hey, why aren’t there any sessions?”
Yesterday, I spent half an hour trying to figure out why SDDM wasn’t seeing /usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop
before I realised that the reason it wasn’t showing up in the menu was because I hadn’t installed any fonts; so it was there, but it was invisible.
It’s the “unstable” rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that’s not the case with Sid.
