How to package manager?
1 project | /r/linuxfromscratch | 2 Feb 2023

Is there a distro that's similar to Alpine but with more packages?
1 project | /r/FindMeADistro | 31 Dec 2022

If you don't like anything Arch based, I can suggest Venom Linux. Initially it's going to be a tough ride, but it'll definitely teach you Linux. Yes, it's rolling release. It also adheres to the POSIX standard. There is no sign of systemd to be found, not even elogind. It uses a bsd-like init system.

1 project | /r/TOR | 15 Oct 2021

Has anyone used https://github.com/graysky2/profile-sync-daemon to put Tor profile in tmpfs ? I've used it for other browsers, works great, but I haven't tried it for Tor. You'd have to make a little config file to get it to work for TBB.
