#ArtixLinux is based on #ArchLinux with the alternative init systems #dinit, #runit, #OpenRC, and #s6. It provides you the @devuan -pioneered Init Freedom on Arch btw. and therefore complements Arch's systemd approach.

Hi friends, I could use your input!
My mom has asked me to install Linux on her laptop, which distro should I pick?
- Dell Latitude 7320 Intel Core i7-Gen 11 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
- Has to be stable, good hardware support
- Sysadmin tasks will be performed (remotely) by me, so doesn't have to be "beginner friendly" per se in that area (she won't be added to the wheel group 😅)
- Support for Xfce desktop (I guess most distros have that)
- Ideally support for encrypted root on ZFS
No: Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL (or derivatives) please.
Given my recent fascination, I'd go with FreeBSD, but I'm afraid the hardware support isn't quite there yet. Voting and boosts are appreciated!
What should I pick?
#Linux #LaptopLinux #Poll #Debian #VoidLinux #AlpineLinux #ArchLinux
Options: (choose one or more)
Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!
I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?
Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.
My Current Favorites:
To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:
uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.
What about you?
What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

Hey Linux bubble, please help me out...
Should I ditch Arch Linux and install the good old Debian on my desktop PC instead?
Clock is ticking, last backup is running, boost would be nice...
