From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks, its inspired by krum's void installer script, also very fun project. I think his code is cleaner, theres link: https://github.com/kkrruumm/void-install-script

TUI stuff is so underrated. I'd gladly run them exclusively.

i have almost full environment of tuis that look so beautiful, i wish my script looked like them.

there are some tui programs i use: yazi, youtube-tui,btop, fsel,rmpc, lazygit, td-tui, wiremix

Don't they provide Live ISOs with an GUI installer?

[–] 721_bipsty@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

You are right. Official Live ISOs have gui installers, I tried it once and in my opinion it lacks some features. I wanted perfect solution for me which also can be solution for someone else. I think my script contain a lot of useful stuff. Ive seen theres way to modify gui installer, but it didnt came to my mind anytime. Writing this script gave me alot of bash knowledge which for suer will be useful. Thanks for reading this :D.

I never got booster to work. Will try.

Edit: is there an option to not encrypt root partition?

[–] 721_bipsty@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's nice to try booster, its so damn fast. Script will make it work for you :D.

Script is fully interactive, you can choose not to encrypt root partition. You can try it out but don't press yes on last page because it could start installation, every option is tui is just setting variable.
