I was using Ubuntu - but the Snaps drove me away. Due to the substandard performance, horrible load times, and UI/System integration issues reached a tipping point. So back to Debian - and I've found it's improved MUCH over the past 10 years. Very happy again.

I had wondered myself why it didn't exist, so when I saw that post I figured I'd give it a shot. Maybe it'll even break even at some point 💩.

One of the reasons why I am afraid of less common distros such as Gentoo or Alpine is that I think I may not find enough information needed to install all the dependencies required to compile Bitcoin Core and Core Lightning nodes from source. That is why I tend to use Debian or its derivatives like Ubuntu or Antix-base. How has you experience with installing software needed to run Bitcoin been?

I'll be honest, I don't use Gentoo as the base OS for a server mostly for this reason. I do use it as my daily driver desktop/laptop OS, and for things that aren't in the package manager I'll throw together a quick Docker wrapper using the newest Ubuntu Server LTS or whatever the install instructions suggest.

I'll have to try this approach some day with Docker.

I run many. Antix on my Laptops and ubuntu on my other Desktop PCs.

Why Antix? Are they low spec or is there any other reason to choose that distro?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @denationalized 2 Mar

I use Antix-base. It is very lightweight, especially the icewm window manager and also easy to use on a laptop as it is floating. Also Antix is easier to customize for me than Debian.

I’m using Manjaro with Gnome currently and find it a really stable and easy to use distro. Been a die hard Ubuntu fan, but imho it kind of moved away from its roots.

Hope that Manjaro stays as you’re experiencing it, I heard pretty bad things about the management behind that distro..

You will need it. It’s a great distro with some great tooling, but the learning curve is quite steep. Still, a great learning journey!
