From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why github and not https://codeberg.org/?
Seconding that. I've just read through the website. Got interested. Then my eyes went to the top panel again finally, I've read "GitHub", and my thoughts are "Huh? But this mismatches the rest of the page, especially with the AI stance and some push for simplicity combined with competence.". Went back here to write about it.
/me a ~10 year old ArchLinux user (using Arch for this long, my Earth age nobody cares about including me anyway). I'm thinking if I wanna actually try this for real. I currently have manually written packages that define the OS dependencies and configuration, and I don't like the mutability of everything, the default update handling of no-longer-dependencies, the
.pacnew... I still like and appreciate Arch obviously, but the pain points connect.I took your suggestion to heart and decided to say fuck it and move my whole GitHub over to Codeberg. The non-profit nature, being hosted in Germany where I'm also from and ditching the last Microslop service I have make this something I should have done sooner. The only thing left is the repo for the website itself, I'm gonna set up the actions to automatically sync it with Hetzner tomorrow, I'm done for today!
Ah, and please add the stock
-Suyprocess to the pain points. It alters the local database even when downloads haven't fully finished yet (as it is out-of-the-box at least), so if downloads fail mid-ways you have to remember to not dare installing any particular package before a full upgrade still. If you forget, you're toast.Man, good question, I'm still torn about this. Initially I was forced to use GitHub specifically from my university, now it kind of stuck. I haven't pushed much yet anyway so I might even make the switch.
Well, you could use Github's free (as in beer) infrastructure to host artifacts, which means they'll have to pay (as a company) instead of codeberg (as a non-profit). The issues and development can be hosted on codeberg. Kind of like how the Linux Kernel does it, Github only being a mirror, not an endorsement.

Als Deutscher kannst Du ja auch Mitglied im Codeberg e.V. werden wenn Dir das wichtig ist. Oder, wie gesagt, die Artefakte bei Microsoft hosten, um dem Verein Geld zu sparen. Microslop darf das gerne bezahlen, oder? 😄
Mal sehen, GitHub war das letzte Big Tech, bzw. USA-basierte was ich genutzt habe und war mir deswegen schon seit langem ein Dorn im Auge, bisher habe ich aber nie die Nerven gehabt zu wechseln. Jetzt war aber der beste Zeitpunkt, da das Hauptrepo noch leer war und ich meine restlichen Projekte aussortiert habe. Die kompilierten Pakete und ISOs kommen eh alle auf meinen Hetzner Webserver, Codeberg hätte quasi "nur" den Source-Code, sollte also verträglich genug sein und GitHub einfach komplett zurückzulassen!
Hmm, I will definitely take your suggestion to heart. For now I'll focus on actually getting the first ISO ready to be rolled out, after that I'll take a deeper look into it, thank you!
