#and get circle jerky about bsd and unix and so on

[soup-mother]

very scientifically ranking unix and unix like systems I've recently fiddled with, based on whether i actually successfully got them installed:

arch linux: so easy peasy it put me to sleep, genuinely and not as a joke. absolute breeze

openindiana: real easy and nice tbh. i like open indiana :)

debian: i mean yeah it works out of the box but for some reason in virtualbox it goes straight into gnome (ew) instead of the installer process. had to fiddle to get a different DE but pretty easy (also ew gnome)

fireflybsd: genuinely probably the best text based installation I've ever used. a lot more enjoyable (but more involved) than arch and a good time all around.

freebsd: took fiddling but i got a desktop environment working on it! I'm incredibly proud of that and it felt like a milestone in being able to actually do a computer™. freebsd will forever have a soft spot in my heart <3

bucket of shame 🪣:

void linux: partitioning is a fuck, i am confused woman, 161836281 dead cops (didn't get it working). weirdly wants you to do all the installation in a desktop environment but as a text based installer from the terminal (unless I'm getting things mixed up) xfce is nice tho.

ghostbsd: literally just refused to actually install, idk why. like full on refused to recognise the disk space being allocated to it. weird

openbsd: the one that got away, i literally couldn't understand some of the things it expected me to do no matter how much i read the documentation. I'll get it eventually

idk why i wrote this i just thought it was funny and wanted to talk about computer :)

disk partitioning for void Linux is too confusing for me so I'm going to do a little pout until the disk magically partitions itself for me and i don't have to worry about Linux swap and whatnot
