We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

    Less popular distros that I use are NixOS and FreeBSD. I haven’t tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

    I want to buy a Framework laptop later this year. FreeBSD with KDE Plasma will be installed first, I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

      Come. You want to. And it’s easy. Here’s a video install guide on how to install Gentoo, that’s not even 40 seconds long…

      (… 24 days ago. Oh. Did you do it yet? On Gentoo yet? USE flag convertee now?)

      I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

      I was briefly using Hurd with debian about 12 years ago… it didn’t hurt. Hurd didn’t hurt.

      … I’ve been looking over at even more exotic kernels from time to time, yet to seriously dip my toe in… things like ironclad.
