I've never understood the clamour for rolling a new distro. Maintaining an apt/yum repository and creating a meta-package or package group should be more than enough.
- detaro 7y agoTo be fair, "a new distro" often isn't that much different: You take the package repository of an existing distro, tweak some packages and add your own packages on top. I'd say the main difference is that just an additional repository on existing system might break if that base distro updates, while you control that if you go entirely through your own repo.
- babakandishmand 7y agoVery true, I actually envisioned something like a shell or a chromeOS-like shell to avoid having government workers learn command line and such.
- thewhitetulip 7y agoExactly. Maybe they'll be like OxygenOS to Android.
- techntoke 7y agoThe fact that you think of Linux distros as apt/yum tells a lot about the bias in our statements.
