I’m unfamiliar with KISS. I don’t really distro hop, since what I use has satisfied all my needs to date.

Debian for my daily workstation. Minimal terminal-only install, and then I piece together my environment.

For smaller, headless applications I like Alpine. Containerized projects, VPS, etc.

The best crash course I received was when I needed to translate my startup scripts into systemd services. The hands-on learning was priceless.

If it can detect suspicious unfriendliness, then I’m really in trouble.

You’re asking the wrong question. The question is, “why not test drive a BSD installation, regardless?”

(my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled)

This doesn’t give you anxiety?

That studio I believe also made Transistor, which is also phenomenal.

• Gris - A beautiful platform puzzle game. A very emotional game, but one that makes you feel like you’re rebuilding something in yourself. Gorgeous art, amazing dynamic soundtrack.

• Meadow - I don’t know how to describe this game. You log onto a server, pick a woodland animal as an avatar, and then you explore the world and meet other players. Your only means of communication is noises and emojis. It’s so simple, yet so fantastic.

• Bokida - Heartfelt Reunion - A minimalist art puzzle game. I haven’t played it in a while, but I remember it being super immersive. I just had to finish it, to see how all of the pieces of the story fit together.

Also, I hope you feel better soon.

Hey! Congrats on getting everything installed and situated so far.

If you continue to have trouble but still want a Debian experience, might I recommend MX Linux. I cut my teeth on that for a long time, and it was a really great experience for me. And the installer is super easy to navigate.

I wholeheartedly disagree. But I will say that maybe a mid-weight flavor of Debian would be better.

Maybe WinAmp was the llama all along.

Don’tcha think?

We must return to IRC.

Haha, thanks.

The current state of the repo still requires quite a bit of manual finagling, but I’ve tried to make everything as clean cut and modular as possible.

The plan has always been once the configurations mature, to then create scripts that automate the process of not only installing expected packages, but also allow for limited theming.

I’ve not quite gotten to that phase, but it is quickly approaching.

What perceived slight from a Linux distro community could possibly convince some loser to DDOS them?

I figured if I could eliminate the middle man in under 55 lines I may as well. I’ll always jump at the opportunity to reduce my package reliance.

The problem wasn’t PulseAudio, it was volumeicon. For instance, when I’d pair a bluetooth headset I would start getting audio through it, but my hotkeys would still be trying to adjust the previous sink. I’d have to kill and restart volumeicon for it to work again.

Just a sanity check because I’ve totally done this before: did you make the script file executable?
