    Since people fear parentheses, GNU Guix.

      Man, i’m a NixOS user so probably also biased because i got used to the nix language, but legitimately all the parentheses in guix confuse the hell out of me lol

        I also feared them prior to using and writing my own config. But later, I found out they have packages that highlight different parentheses depth with different colours (rainbow-delimiter), auto insert missing parens (parinfer) and whatnot. This makes the process of working with them a lot easier!

      Yo.

      Wouldn’t recommend it for novices, but I’ve just never had a better server distro, they perfected it.

        As long as you have compatible hardware, it’s great. I didn’t bother researching when I built a new server and ended up switching to debian since bsd didn’t support my nic.

          It’s incredible if your hardware is compatible.

          Yeah, wifi is still sketchy though.

      Former. Migrated to linux 20+ years ago because of…Flash support. Didn’t realize back then how quickly Flash would disappear and FreeBSD only supported it via its linux binary compatibility, which stopped working at that time.

    The obvious answer, for true fear, is to either run TempleOS or Red Star

    Don’t run Linux, run the OG Unix. Don’t use a desktop, get a mainframe.

    Make them use an old, abandoned distro.

    Like Brazil’s own Knoppix fork Kurumin.

        Em espírito, eu concordo contigo

        Olhando lógicamente, não teria sentido, já existem tantas Distros, metade das quais são só forks de Debian e/ou Ubuntu que mudam quase nada. :S

      Knoppix! I forgot that existed. Wow, what a blast from the past. I remember trying that out in high school. 3.2 or 3.3. Something like that. I just knew it took a long time to download via dial-up.

      Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

      I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

      Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

    The nixOS slander in these comments would be valid if nixOS were simply a distro and not a cult…
