Yup, I agree Debian or Rocky Linux where the first two distros that popped into my mind

Man it’s been a while since I have seen Pedobear
Well since your building a computer your more tech savvy then most people. I have been using Linux for about 20 years now. If you pick something like Linux Mint or others make sure you have a solid /home partition and migrate to what’s ever distro you like most. It allows you to move around and not lose your data.
Worst case you do some distro hopping for a little bit and then install Windows and there is nothing wrong with that. I have a windows laptop for the very reason that Windows works best with certain apps just like I use a Mac for video editing

Sorry the bar that’s also sometimes has a baseball game is closed that time of year. You could always go to Blake Street…… oh wait……

Women are not allowed.
Well that was my auto fill, so I got a “he man women hater club” like the Little Rascals lol
You using slapt-get for updates?
Only site that I have really been liking of late is https://www.404media.co/. Arstechinca even feels not as good as it used to but not sure if that’s me or not
Had an issue many many years ago with TW where X11 was completely broken on my system. I just did a btrfs roll back to prior to the update and then updated like a month later
Yeah……… I wish someone would port it or come out with something similar. Been using Blackbox/Fluxbox since the 2000’s
+1 for Fluxbox!
It’s such an underrated WM
Everything gets compiled at some point to be able to run.
Lot of people running large gentoo server farms will compile and run binary’s. Even Gentoo is officially supporting binary packages for their stable branch. Package set is ever growing right now too
Has had Musl for awhile here is the install stage https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#amd64-advanced . Bunch of docs on their wiki too. Gentoo is a rolling release you are correct but there is testing and stable branches. Stable branch is enterprise production ready. I know of a few hardware vendors that are using a custom gentoo builds under the hood. One of them is a big name storage array company that people spend hundreds if not millions on their arrays.
My experience with Void was hyper rolling release . You get things quickly kind of like Arch.
Gentoo stable runs a little bit older software for stability sake. With that being said you can mix and match stable with testing. I would assume there is some gotchas but I have not run into any yet. I am running the testing branch just for KDE software right now to have the latest and greatest KDE but a super stable base.
Definitely something to take a look at if you’re a more advanced user. I am coming back to Gentoo after about 15 years off and just loving it. Compile times are not that bad with new hardware. My Intel NUC I am running on is crushing it. I remember X taking like a week to compile back in like 2003 lol
Gentoo does 😉
Just read up on Timeshift and that should be do able. I would just point them to diff folder names the host name. If your doing BTRFS snapshots it’s a little harder but still do able. You can look at the native send-receive support in BTRFS. I have never used it myself but it worked really will with ZFS
Lot of just general progress, Linux was so fringe when I started in 2002 compared to now. Most enterprise customers are using Linux the past 15 years and hardware venders are now seeing more and more Linux adoption. We can kind of thank Chrome a bit for that but also more people generally having an interest and using it and developing drivers for their hardware
Intel gfx and no issues
