• Can SGI’s Enthusiast Community Bring IRIX Back to Life?

  People are still actively working on Illumos. The last change was yesterday morning. * https://illumos.org People are still actively working on MirBSD. There's a CVS commit account that can be followed on the FediVerse. * http://www.mirbsd.org It's DragonFly BSD, not Dragon BSD, and the irony of that is that you missed FreeBSD, which is of course still going. * https://dragonflybsd.org * https://freebsd.org As... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Linux distributions' relative popularity over time (by Distrowatch hits)

  Its successor is still out there: Illumos. Though it seems to be mainly focused on backwards compatibility for existing custom applications as it still enforces things like an 8 character username limit. Source: about 1 year ago

• There are literally no reasons to choose an iPhone over an Android smartphone

  By contrast, if you replaced the usage share of Windows with that FreeBSD you and that of macOS with, say, illumos, I would care not one bit, because this wouldn't threaten my rights. FreeBSD respects user freedom, and so does illumos. Source: over 1 year ago

• OSes with native/root ZFS besides FreeBSD and Proxmox?

  All the Solaris family like illumos and openindiana. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Solaris 11.4 free for non-production personal use

  Why? There is already an active open source fork of Solaris with better licensing terms than what Oracle offers - Illumos / OmniOS - https://illumos.org/ . - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter

  I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel. Nobara is a very plain, kind of old fashioned, plain feeling UI (it rather reminds me of Windows 2000 in some ways, although it's much more advanced of course) while Garuda showcases just how fancy your desktop can look.

• Reviving an old machine for gaming

  Garuda (Arch based, use a Desktop environment with small memory prints like XFCE or lxqt). Source: about 1 year ago

• Please Help me for my search

  Personally, I feel like rolling release distros 'should' include a properly configured (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshit/Snapper by default. This will enable the user to rollback to a working system whenever a breakage occurs; even from the GRUB-menu. As the 'unadulterated' Arch is a blank slate upon which you 'should' tinker to your heart's content, it doesn't do this by default. However, you're highly encouraged to set it...

• Is artix a good alternative to manjaro

  Personal recommendation would be Garuda Linux. Like Manjaro it is 'opinionated'; sets up (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshift/Snapper, comes with a bunch of very useful GUI-tools etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• If you have a plan to use the galaxybook with linux, you don't have to buy Galaxybook.

  Yes... Most Linux Distro's the sound doesn't work... Garuda Linux is the only one I found that everything works. Source: about 1 year ago
