Proxmox is a hypervisor, like VMware. They are just running containers and / or VMs. Procmox is the management interface.

You use Homarr with Proxmox? I should look into that.

Is it that people don’t mind sounding like morons in public or that they think everybody else is stupid enough to fall for their nonsense? I always wonder when I read something like this.

What I am most excited for in COSMIC is the promise of tiling in a full DE. I like the idea that you can switch back and forth.

I started trying it out a month or so ago. Still pretty incomplete. Promising though.

The fact that it may drive the Rust GUI ecosystem forward is exciting as well. I do not need to see everything re-written in Rust but it will be great if Rust is a realistic option for new app dev.

Depends on your point of view.

Their motivation was “we have a vision for our UX and GNOME won’t let us do it — so let’s write our own.”

It was only after deciding to write their own that they decided to write it in Rust.

They like Rust, but that is not what motivated them to make COSMIC.

Booted in a fraction of a second. Nice.

In US politics today, the main strike against Hitler would be that he was not a naturally born a US citizen.

Had he been born in Kentucky, he may have been able to unseat Trump. He would almost certainly be the front-runner vs Biden or Harris.

It shouldn’t

I did not know about Slax. Thanks.

Chimera Linux is awesome but it is still in Alpha. I would not recommend it as a first distro at this point unless you have a very tinker personality. It is high quality but lacks polish. For example, it does not have a real installer yet ( more of a set of instructions ).

Sound reasoning. That said…

Have you considered using Distrobox?

You can use Distrobox to crate a dev environment on Chimera based on a glibc distro ( like Arch for example with its 80,000 up-to-date packages ).

This has the added bonus of keeping your dev environment somewhat apart from your main install. If you ever want a clean slate ( too many junk packages accumulated or you mess something up ), you can refresh your dev environment without impacting your main desktop. You can also have multiple dev environments for different projects.

Small nit-pick: MUSL is libc too. I think you meant to say Glibc ( the GNU libc implementation ).
