As the title and the website say, I’m currently making a distro with the goal that you don’t have to compromise between ease of use + safety and bleeding-edge + performance optimizations.
As I will likely be able to publish the 0.0.1 source code to the GitHub link and the ISO to the website sometime next week, I would like people to be aware of my project so I can have some feedback for further improvements when I release the first version. I have not posted this anywhere else yet, as I value the opinion of this community more than Reddit or whatever.
If you have any questions or any criticism, please voice it, I would love to hear it, good or bad, in the end I want to make a proper OS. (I’ll go to bed now so expect replies to take a few hours from posting.)
Firstly, my general rule is “upstream or Mint (because screw snaps)”. CachyOS was a decision I made prior to this rule but otherwise I have 6 options (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, and OpenSUSE).
So by process of elimination, OpenSUSE it is.
Another part of it is nostalgia. I used it briefly when I was first switching to Linux full-time. I ran into various issues and moved off it. Private internet access wouldn’t install, I didn’t even know what proprietary media codecs were at the time, and tumbleweed had a few bugs that caused me trouble. Despite all that, I’m nostalgic for it partly because of the themes I ended up installing.
Why is that? I never had security issues with Debian.
