Boot times. I am the kind of person who shuts my computer (may it be a laptop or desktop) down, whenever I'm not using it. With systemD, boot times are generally kind of annoying; runit, however, completely changes this. It really feels amazing to turn a Void Linux system on, and have it boot in seconds, with just one screen of logs. On top of that, if you're doing a arch-style install (like the Void Linux minimal install), runit is just much nicer and more ergonomic. The main point is really boot time though, which I think is improved due to adhering to the Unix philosophy and having much less bloat. Using a runit system reminds you of how bloated and slow (and kinda convoluted) systemD is.

I'm also the kinda guy who spends hours optimizing my neovim config (~80 plugins, including LSP) for 20 millisecond start-up times. In the end, I still use Tumbleweed though.

I've been using openSuSe Tumbleweed on one device or another for quite a while now. Recently I switched my last device, so I'm officially 100% Tumbleweed. NGL, feels pretty good. I would, however, switch under a few circumstances:

  • openSuSe releases Tumbleweed clone with systemD alternative (like runit). I've tried Void repeatedly, but unfortunately never really fell in live with it.
  • openSuSe releases NixOS style immutable distro (not the current aeon or kalpa) based on Tumbleweed.

Honestly, Tumbleweed is nearly perfect for me. It's just that I've tasted what life without systemD can be like, and I goddamn miss it... I'm totally hooked on openSuSe products though.

"Masturbating Formula with Vitamin M"

See, the version without Vitamin M is less effective...

I didn't even know people do this wtf... The only explanation I could fathom would be some kind of over use of the OED's fourth definition:

  1. (1797) – (A body of) non-fictional books and writings published on a particular subject.

The key is "on a particular subject." When referring to literature in general, it refers to literally any written work (including letters, advertising, etc.). I very much sympathize with your frustration...

Literally the person you are responding to

PS: also me and a whole lot of other people; just pointing out of pointless your question/statement was.

+1, it is much worse than even proof-of-work crypto though. I think AI is the bigger enemy, since at least in crypto, there are ways of developing and using it that aren't as bad (or even at all) for the climate.

If you are from a western country there is a certain risk in going to North Korea.

Interesting question! The issue of white genocide in South Africa is particularly relevant here.....

Yep, this is exactly what I read... still a cool project though. Anything that at least tries to make neurodivergent people more accepted gets my approval.

I don't know about the comic font, but OpenDyslexic is a great typeface for dyslexics (as the name would suggest). It mostly has to do with the weight of the letters being towards the bottom as I understand it. I personally (dyslexic here) have gotten so used to Computer Modern Serif and JetBrainsMono that they're easier for me to read, but that comes from hours of monkeytype with JetBrainsMono and hours of reading books and PDFs with Computer Modern. I think OpenDyslexic, while cool, is probably only truly helpful for people not already used to a different typeface.

I actually really love icewm. I'm still gonna install i3 on every system (for a default experience, when I configure I usually switch over to something else), but I'll always keep icewm as a backup. Also the default wm on openSUSE which makes me happy
