    Discontinued An opinionated Debian installer (by candiddev)

  • You can install Debian the same way you installed Arch (manual, CLI) via debootstrap. I built a tool that does this, you can look through it and see how I do it--it's just bash. Download a Debian live ISO (or use my tool to create an Arch-like minimal live USB) and you can install it however you want.

  • manjarno

    Reasons for which I don't use Manjaro anymore

  • This Github repo has the most common issues I've heard of: https://github.com/arindas/manjarno .

    Big ones are: shadiness with funding, letting their SSL certs expire 4 times, and the fact that their idea of stable isn't additional testing, but just letting the packages sit for a week.

    There was also a recent kerfluffle not covered there where they shipped a broken kernel to Apple Sillicon users without contacting the Asahi devs: https://twitter.com/AsahiLinux/status/1576356115746459648

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
