Hi folks,
A few nights ago my too-expensive laptop met with too-cheap wine and now
it is a far-too-expensive brick. As it's therefore time for me to
install a new OS on a new laptop, I was wondering what people would
recommend. I've been using Debian Stable for years now, which while it
sucks does

Hi,
I am very happy using Arch. It is a rolling release but I have found it
very stable if you update often and take care of the AUR packages.
Cheers
Roy.

I actually asked juan rp about that plist thing, he said it was
because he had experience with it on netbsd with proplib, which he
then ported as portable proplib:

- busybox utils (they said they will migrate to sbase/ubase when ready)
- openrc (they will migrate to s6 next year)

I was about to ask about Alpine Linux. I am very glad to see it in this
list, and had _a few_ issues with it, and only 1 that I could not
overcome, even if I do not have a large knowledge.

Thanks for the replies folks.
I would love to give OpenBSD a try, but the laptop I'm getting is rather
new and fancy, and I suspect not all of it would be supported. Plus it's
a new ecosystem and I don't have the time to learn it all at the moment
(this is my work machine, too). I'll have to learn

Arch Linux was suckless maybe in 2008. Today it's messy, confused and bloated.
For once, it was one of the first distributions to embrace Systemd.
I think these emails about "what's a suckless distribution" are always
bad, but I'll give my advice (research is on you).

There's also CRUX [0] and tinycorelinux [1]. CRUX has more of a
BSD-style init system feel. There's also a CruxEX [2] which includes
a DE. However, I need to spin up a VM of AlpineLinux and see what
it's all about.

I would like to see the bugs suckless's sup examined and fixed. Looking at the
current state of our sup, it is already too featureful for me, so the bloat
jaromil promises is a big no.
This discussion caused me to evaluate sudo for myself. Needless to say, it
would be nice to see sup fixed up so I
let's maintain a list of of requirements a distro should fulfill.
perhaps we can make a nice table afterwards and see which OS fits
these requirements out of the box.
