i dont, i actually have shit to do

drop a bunch of distro names into a hat, and pick one. they're all the same shit, and you can make all of them become one another.

if you enjoy hours of compiling everything from binary packages, install gentoo. what do you do after that? nothing, it's fucking gentoo, rice it, and pretend like you're a programmer.

if you dont want to waste your time, and just want to dick around, install manjaro, solus, or some other distro this board is currently shilling.

alternatively, you can become a normalfag, install OSX, have your UNIX os, while still being able to accomplish shit and not look like a neckbeard in the process.

Wizards assemble !

Advanced users of GNU/Linux, remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution that can heal broken installs. And (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:

Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.
Fully committed to GPL, and uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.
Even the documentation is licensed as FDL.
Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.
Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.
Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
Can also use flags.

Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portgage? Do you like BSD ports? You haven't seen anything like SMGL's "sorcery". Making new "spells" to install source code not found in the "grimoire" (repository) is as easy as editing files http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book

Come and join

Not source code, but it was functionally based on UNIX, you fucking autist. Are you really arguing that Linux isn't a UNIX-like OS? It's the prime example of one.

That piece of paper is certification that OS X has lived up to testing of compliance with thousands of pages of specifications that the OS needs to live up to. OS X is UNIX. This is not a debate, this is just how it is. Cry about it all you want, it doesn't change anything.

macOS, and ubuntu and openIndiana (Solaris) on VMs running under Windows.

I try to prefer openIndiana over Linux because Linux is shit. But a lot of things won't compile under anything other than Linux, and Ubuntu is usually the easiest to get things working.

openIndiana is one of the cleanest OSs out there with amazing code quality. If you care about having a well-coded OS, I highly suggest checking it out.

>>60223928
the term you're looking for is "cloned from" or "imitated", just as DOS is not based on CP/M despite being near functionally identical, as another example

it's like saying two homes are built on the same foundation because their foundations are similar, if it doesn't derive from the same code, it's not "based" on it, period

now stop playing pretend hacker and go use GNU's Not Unix with the rest of the sane world
>>
>>60224061
as long as the end user experience remains similar enough that you can practically interchange the two platforms with minimal bullshit it will always be deserving of being called "UNIX-like" regardless of whether it agrees with a philosophy tacked on to it under the hood that was shit all over long ago anyway
>>
linux boi. Daily driver is Arch. It's kinda memey but no real complaints, AUR is convenient and comes in handy for some more niche programs. Other laptops trying Ubuntu minimal and Debian stretch. No complaints about ubuntu but might as well just go with debian. Everything I run for more than a week runs well on old hardware.
>>
I'm currently running OpenSuSE LEAP on a Thinkpad T410 and antiX 16 on a Latitude E4300.

OpenSuSE because I wanted something that worked well out of the box that wasn't Ubuntu or Fedora or a derivative of another distro. So far I'm actually really liking KDE, surprisingly.

antiX because it's Debian-based, lightweight af (<100MB running fluxbox) and systemd free.

Gentoo is actually rather nice, if you "freeze" it. What I mean is, install it, fix/tweak things, install everything that are going to use, then stop using emerge/ portage. Never update. No updates, no time wasted fixing stuff that will break. Then, six months to a year later, do a fresh install.

I tried to install it in a chroot environment, which was pretty easy, but when I tried to cast linux-firmware, none of the mirrors had the tarball available which means I wouldn't be able to connect to my wireless network, making the whole install pretty useless.
