    NetBSD, the only OS where typing ldconfig instantly bricks your system without warning.

        I just installed it but out of the box it’s extremely bare bones. There’s not even any software to install more software until you type (not copy and paste, because there’s no internet and no browser - type) these commands

        export PKG_PATH=https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r | cut -d_ -f1)/All  
        pkg_add pkgin  
        

        That failed to install the software-installer, there was some error message which makes me think my DNS settings are wrong.

        That was enough for me. I’ve got work to do.

          This is going to be the next Arch, isn’t it?

            arch is like an IKEA flatpack, this is more like a bunch of tools and materials and a big textbook i think

            Feels like hard mode…

            I like to tinker and I want to find a usable retro window manager and CTWM, the one they bundle, has great potential. Might take another run at it this weekend when I have more time.
