::: spoiler It's nice to see the MX Linux team, and in particular Dolphin_Oracle, are still based like that.
I started out on MX Linux as my intro to linux back in early 2024 and it was partly because of their SystemD stand, and partly because the distro shipped with a lot of nice custom GUI tools for noobs like myself.
It's also a quite lightweight distro if you choose SysVinit + Fluxbox. I'm just a bit sad they no longer offer a 32-bit version.
The only reason I switched away was because the Debian base felt quite stale, that is, for what I wanted to play around with. Still kept it around for a year. :::

“So my suggestion for those in the US, and other countries, is to lobby your government representatives, federal, state, or whatever your country has, and not your linux distro.”

Good idea! And here I was just about to send death threats to Dylan Taylor.

Anyone use this distro? Just wondering what level of hassle on the Mint to Arch scale is it?

Mucki@feddit.org · 8 pts · 148d (1 reply)

It's about a simple as it can get. Never had any troubles with MX. Very good support on the forum. Supports very modern Hardware (AHS Kernel). Very interesting GUI Apps for settings, which otherwise were terminal-dependent. With xfce it will run even on old hardware.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!

I settled on it, KDE version. It's basically Debian + tools to make life easy. Haven't had an issue I didn't clumsily cause myself.

No python is not a problem. If it did not exist they would use another language to manage ai stuff.

Because you are making up nonsense, spewing a technobabble salad.

Why would I need luck?

safety_checker is indeed an ai image content check that ships with ComfyUI. There are two instances of it under the ComfyUI directory. Nowhere else on my $HOME

fsdpy_utils is also part of ComfyUI, it's a module to help run models (not a model itself those are huge). ComfyUI is a webUI to run AI stuff, so it's expected to be found there. It's not found anywhere else on my $HOME

cachetools/func.py is a module providing cache not a tty. It exist in other Python software that I 've installed. No random instances of it all over $HOME either

You are probably asking an AI chatbot to produce drivel with technical terms you 've seen online to troll this community. It's probably convincing to people who are unfamiliar with python, ai or linux but it does not pass inspections by anyone familiar with these things.

CachyOS is currently deleting threads of people asking about this topic, and is refusing to comment on their plans either way.

So don't get too excited about Cachy, they're clearly willing to consider this age gating options

That's just fedora with extra steps.

Railcar8095@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 148d

Most distros are X with extra steps. Sometimes, those steps are the point.

I was tired of setting my Hannah Montana theme every time, until I found HM Linux.

Maybe I'm missing a joke here, but surely not? Cachy is Arch based.

forrgott@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 148d

The joke is Arch=extra steps

XTL@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 147d

It wasn't a good joke, almost hit back instead of submitting, but oh well.

(I actually even run cachy on one box. It's an interesting system. Works well.)

Fedora is literally the "the first dose is free" of Linux enshittification under corporate (RedHat), plus is legally tied to US jurisdiction. They've never been trusworthy.
