Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.
Crux is also “source first”, as you must compile every package from source. However, Gentoo focuses on “use flags” to build the packages, which let’s you fine tune every single feature. Crux ports don’t have that, so you technically end up with the same software for everyone, except that they’re optimized for your architecture.
Its main advantage is the simplicity of the system as a whole, as well as the build system, which leads to Pkgfile that are very straightforward to write.
Thanks. That’s very interesting.
