Good for you for sticking with it. I've started in that direction a few times, but it really is amazing just how necessary all those hacky distro-maintained build scripts and patches are. It's tempting to think that they're just tweaking things to fit their conventions and handling edge cases, but they're often just getting it to not explode by default.
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoI've made several compromises so far. I've been making a note of them with the expectation (or hope) that I'll get to them, or a bright eyed new contributor might (I have some of those :D).
- sq_ 10y agoDo you have a Github repo or something similar for the distro? I'd love to see it if you do.
- smcl 10y agoOr even a blog post or something talking about it. I understand that sharing your experiences with the rest of the world might not be top priority while you're hammering away at sorting out these packages so I don't expect you to stop what you're doing purely to satisfy us on HN! But if you've already got something I'd love to see it :-)

- smcl 10y agoAmazing - I had no idea you were the person behind KnightOS, I've previously read a few of your posts and thoroughly enjoyed them (the one about the US election particularly hit home). Thanks so much
