I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!
The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.
You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.
KDE 6 just landed too!
Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.
I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?
Edit: My apologies, I didn’t realize you weren’t the same person I originally replied to. Please disregard!
Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.
Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?
I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.
Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.
There’s https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ for privacy, at least.
Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.
Snaps just aren’t ready yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares I think? Don’t understand the quotes though.
Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.
One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅
You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?
If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.
Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot expands to something like /home/username/boot.
/boot is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot is a directory in your home folder.
That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157
Advanced advanced Linux user: “Ctrl+S shit what’s the unsuspend button”
The real interesting debate is between ((f) 1) and f()(1).
It used to be AGPL, now it’s SSPL.
A VPN does this, but for your internet connection:
It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn’t like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.
Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.
Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.
This might be changing with modular reactors, I don’t know.
Arguably Ghostbusters (1984) is prior art for throwing a capsule and capturing 🤣
Edit: they even had a video game with the ghost trap.
