Re: "Geminauts and their Operative Systems"
My start was SUSE Linux. Back in the day, it came in a nice package with a fantastic handbook. For the last few years, I have been using FreeBSD exclusively on both desktops and servers. The only exception is my LLM/gaming PC, which is powered by Void Linux.

OK, here goes. I started using Slackware like more then 20y ago, then moved to debian when self-hosting at home, but on my desktop I've pretty much always been a Windows user :)
we don't have serenity users?
Where are my s/Guix brethren at?
@bw9ubwo, if you have US$6 billion, you can buy SUSE -- it's for sale.

I don't have that pocket change.

It's in my other pants
I think they bought it for under 3 billion, so if you have 5 billion they will provably do it.
buy it and invest in yet another drawing surface, alternative to both wayland and x, invest in widgets and apps that will only run on suse.
also a new service manager and an audio wrapper.
as a way of trolling segregation of linux.
the problem with all autocracies is that they tell the people to unite... around them. not around alternative parties or leaders.
so redhat says: we create a standard, lets make one linux platform with systemd and wayland.
but it means: lets make linux what we want to see as linux.
you disagree? we'll force you, gtk5 will not have x11 support.
linux by being fragmented was doing pretty well. qt apps work in gnome, gtk in kde.

There's always LFS. No need to feel trapped.

Geminauts and their Operative Systems — I'm wondering what operative systems are used by geminauts (desktop/laptop devices, not mobile ones). May be this poll has more options than geminauts xD.
