Then what is the setup if my computer only has 4GB of memory for daily driving? Just curious because swap partitions are what I normally do on limited resource machines.

Check this out. The Hurd is just a collection of translators, which are kinda like fuse. https://gitlab.com/AlmuHS/hurd-translator-in-rust

Are these usable on hardware, and daily drivable?

The GNU Hurd. Keep laughing, it will get there.

Edit: instead of outright promoting the GNU Hurd, I will give my reasons.

1. The architecture of the Hurd is very scalable compared to other kernels. It does not need much rewriting to adapt to modern technology. Rewriting the Hurd in rust is much easier than other kernels.

2. It is a GNU project so if it does succeed, we can spread the Free software philosophy to others. It also means that corpo’s cannot influence it.

3. It is GPLv2 or later, so that is nice to have.

4. It holds all the benefits of a microkernel.

There is probably more, but they are not as important to me personally.

Never use tor with a VPN because it can make you easier to identify on the tor network.

Also, it is only fine to use a VPN with tor if you know what you are doing.

Is it me, or is it kinda of odd that nixOS did not go full on nix with the init system? For example, setting up service with nix. Obviously systemd is fine for for me (please do not flame me systemd haters), but I wonder if the nix team thought of this idea.

Who wants to buy his foot cheese? Anyone?

I was so focused on the picture instead that I forgot about the title, lol. Time to interject for a moment.

Does RMS fit in the picture here? The founder of the fsf and GNU.

• gentoo: # configure the make file for Firefox, and emerge www-client/Firefox.

It should take a moment or two to install. /s

Just want to let you know from my canoebooted laptop that I run a 100% “free as in freedom” OS (trisquel GNU/Linux). Also you have convinced me about striving for a goal instead of doing it perfectly, which is not possible. Well said.

NetBSD is more portable than Linux and supports a lot of CPU architectures. OpenBSD is secure by default. I think the BSD’S have jails, which are better containers, but I do not know much about it.

For desktop daily use, it only matters if you really want that Unix taste.

Is there another GPL OS instead? I am a fan of the GNU Hurd, but sadly I cannot run it on my hardware. The team of devs is really small, and it is amazing what they have done in all these years.

I love pkgsrc. Thought flatpak, snaps, and appimages solved fragmentation, well pkgsrc solved OS fragmentation across ALL UNIX-LIKE SYSTEMS. I want netBSD to keep working on their rumpkernels as well, so we run their drivers ON ANY OS.

(I wanted to put emphasis to show how amazing NetBSD is)

Synaptic is still around in Debian.

Synaptic is still on Debian lxqt for me. Synaptic is also installed on trisquel 12, which is what I am using also.

What if I do not use a desktop or a wm? The tty is comfy here.

I was referring to stable distros. But once you got all your games set up, aren’t you kinda good to go? But I get your point still, though.

I understand that you do not want to fiddle with a computer, I was once like that and that is what kept me from switching to any OS on my computer. I want to let you know as an experienced Linux user though that once you setup linux, you do not need to do any more fiddling. For the files and personal stuff, just back it up to an external hard drive. That is pretty much it. I could help you for free, but I do not really have somewhere to message anyone.
