Markus Feilner: How we hacked the Bavarian State with an Open Source Open Letter

Yes! TempleOS!

Thank you Christian Democrats. Well done on getting bribed and wasting millions on Microslop.

I keep my copilot subscription intact because it's nice having access to remote LLMs at times, especially when debugging issues around my local setup. Otherwise I've been able to offload nearly everything to my local models.

I've been using Strata with Qwen 3.8 Flash Next and have been pretty happy with the results

I want to give a better response to this because I think it's important, assuming you decide to trust any of the words an internet stranger might say...

I don't mean this personally, but with respect to the topic at hand, I really just think you're oblivious to one important thing, which is that we probably share more alignment than you imagine. There is the part of me that just wants to troll on the internet and "dunk" on people, but I also feel like I'm growing out of that in the interest of hoping there's a way to use technology to collaborate with each other instead of cause more divergence.

The point that I'm trying to make (and acknowledging that you're probably not reading my other comments) is that your tactics seem to be one where you're pushing against something that's bigger than you and wasting more energy than what you're gaining, likely at the benefit of the very thing you're raging against. Of course, this is not a black and white universe, hopefully you are gaining something, but only you know if you're operating at a gain/deficit.

Nonetheless, I feel strongly that all of this anger and hatred toward AI could have a more eloquent approach - a "tai chi" sense of going with the current and then guiding it into something utilizing its momentum for more positive outcomes.

That's tricky! Both are fine.

I'd go for one good experience rather than one perfect and one mediocre and the additional pain of keeping both systems on par.

There are a lot of Kernel Forks, and some Linux have instructions on installing them such as CachyOS. What we're missing is an Anti-AI Kernal, afaik.

Crashed again eh?

Thank you for teaching me something new. 😁

So far, I'm good. It's not the best Desktop distro. But since I want an OS for development and also for a workstation, Alpine is good.

Also, it's kinda DIY like Arch, or worse!

How's Alpine on desktop? I've long wanted to try it, but always thought that it is more of a server thing.

I am curious about the downvotes; what I said is factual. LLMs use random numbers in deciding output, so they are not deterministic.

Does anyone have some more information about the technical part? What kind of filesystem support does it use (mdadm+ext4, BTRFS, ZFS, etc.)? Who maintains updates for the Apps? Are they manually maintained by them or do they just reuse what is available on e.g. dockerhub? How does their integrated backup solution work (filesystem or database based, rotation, encryption, etc.).

Their tiemline on their webpage is pretty outdated. But on github you can see that they are actively maintaining it.

Anyone got some real life experience with it?

ZimaOS used to be CasaOS. It's got its perks, but I ran it on powerful hardware and it seemed clunky. It's been a year or more, and I even paid for the premium version for support and more than 4 HDDs for storage... IMO it needs work. I had over 100TBs of RAID disks I was trying to configure, and scrapped it because I didn't trust it to not lose data. The web UI would sometimes not be accessible and my SMB shares would not be reachable. Rebooting wouldn't always fix it either.

Beware! Test thoroughly!

On Cachy you do have the foreground VRAM booster patch, but no idea about other distros.

Are you implying that coreutils aren't supported or patched on time? That there aren't enough maintainers? That nobody works on them? State in which way current coreutils aren't up to par compared to modern and attractive reimplementation. Personally I don't see the point, there is nothing extremely good about them that would require a switch.

My stance on other projects is irrelevant

There's also KATE and a few other editors running natively on your PC rather than in a browser...

I use alpine and freebsd. I want full control of me PC/server. And many times, I need DIY unusual setups. Systemd is way too complex to master it so I can get those working. That's why I use a simple thing which I can learn well, so I can implement whatever setup I need.

I used to be on Ubuntu, Debian and Arch. And implementing such these setups was too hard under systemd. However, if you don't need this. Systemd just works fine for you as did for me in past.

Opening was very slow: instant vs maybe 30 sec sometimes. I won’t recall. I agree, a new tool may want a different perspective and use patterns. So I don’t blame it, just I initially thought it would be the same thing, as it’s evil mode, but realised I need to invest more into the setup, and I had no resources for that at the time. May try again later.

Lolno. Not happening on any of my machines.

My 4gb card thanks you

Having read through the article: unlikely for a while, and even then its limited/weak unless you use tgebpaid version

What exactly was slow? For me it was the natural choice to use evil, since I used vim before. The biggest change was not opening and closing the editor all the time, as i did with vim. You just keep emacs open and if you absolutely need a terminal, you open one in emacs.

Unfortunately, at this point it's effectively impossible to fork the kernel, there's enough churn that any fork will very quickly go out of sync, and also the sheer amount of commercial backing Linux has won't move over to a community oriented fork.

Any actual successful fork you'd see, is e.g. Google forking Android off entirely and stop contributing back upstream.

I moved and had my computer shipped via sea. Literally 8 months with no update, update was massive, no issue at all (arch BTW).

Most of my update problems were either a keyring or a problem with an AUR package that had to be uninstalled, update ran, and reinstalled again because of a dependency loop.

I run bazzite now just because I literally don't have to remember to update, but arch-based is completely fine.

The only major problems I every had were on Mint and Opensuse, 12 and 5 years ago respectively. All distros are pretty care-free nowadays I think (except manjaro).
