I would like have it for my personal use first with a very sexy and tech wala UI with cool features built directly in the desktop @lotd
-
Actully I not very sure about starting with it, like if I start it today how much time will it take to make a basic wala distro and how hard could it be @dontPanic
-
Its fucking hard, start at arch worj your way down to gentoo then and only then try from scratch
-
@Witness Hmm it's fine imo. As long as you don't go full Indian or whatever non English langage. I sometimes do Dutch stuff randomly as well :). Just my opinion!
-
Witness527y@linuxxx I am an Indian myself, and I respectfully disagree. Maybe if there was a complex Indian term for which I couldn't find an English word, I would be inclined to use it.
'Wala' literally means person. It's so simple that writing Wala instead of person is simply obfuscating. -
Froot75567y@Witness The real question is:
How is the tech scene so full of Indians?
No offence or anything, just curious 😊 -
Witness527y@Froot Indian parents are not at all like parents from other countries.
Indian parents are basically the owners of their children. Children are forced to do whatever their parents tell them to, which is fine when you are 5 years old but not when you're 25.
At the age of 18, children are forced to either work in the family business or forced to study a degree of the parents choosing.
Ever since the tech boom of the 2000s, the IT industry has become one of the big employers here in India, with cheap outsourced labour being the main focus.
Thus, parents began forcing their children to join 'computer engineering' courses in college ever since the turn of the century. Today, we have many, many programmers in India, most of them in the field against their will, and most of them being horrible at their job.
Mandatory: Not all Indian parents are like that. Mine especially gave me freedom to choose whatever I liked, and I chose Programming. I still suck at it, but I enjoy it. -
somebody7357yNot that hard, but kinda useless and gets boring quite fast. Would recomend going with Gentoo and tweaking packages and submitting changes back as more useful and fun thing to do....
-
Not very hard, not very useful or fun either. Like many said, do the arch -> gentoo path and you will learn a lot more.
Maybe by then you'll have a pretty good idea of what you want from your distro.
Like will it be glibc / systemd, openrc / uclib, etc.
How will packages be built, maintained and distributed?
Will be a live micro distro or a full blown desktop, etc,etc
Heard about the Linux from scratch project. I dream of building a district from the ground up .
I think I should give it a try.
How hard will that be 🤐🤐
