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.

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 ).

If that is what you are looking for, try Chimera Linux. It was created by a Void maintainer.

OpenSUSE is not an enterprise operating system. This is probably why they want the rebrand.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Makes sense really.

OpenSUSE is not the open version of SUSE ( SUSE Linux Enterprise - SLE ). If you compare to Red Hat, OpenSUSE is Fedora, not CentOS.

I can see how people would get the wrong idea.

It is a bit crappy that they waited so long though. On the desktop, OpenSUSE is quite an established brand.

OMG. This is so hilariously true.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Almost everybody that chooses SUSE ( SLE ) does so because of SAP.

I notice that this is from Huawei. If it was commercial software, this could not be used by anybody using US federal funding. Because this is Open Source, it will probably be put into use by the NSA, CIA, FBI, and NASA. Fascinating.

Hilarious. I am sure that, out of principle, you have stopped using all the software that Red Hat contributes to your distribution.

If it is ok with you, I am not going to define my morality in terms of corporate interest. They are not my friends but I do not believe that shutting on their contributions does much for me either.
