Best way to get a system that works with Unix Philosophy? Anonymous 11/18/24(Mon)10:09:04 No.103225658 Archived

What is the best way to have closest Unix experience without spending money? I'm pretty open minded so open to any suggestions

Don't use anything with Systemd. Find a simple distro, maybe MX Linux might be for you.

I'm not a Linux professional, but I installed a Linux distribution with Systemd. Unfortunately, Systemd was causing my boot time to increase by a minute. I tried various troubleshooting steps, but none of them resolved the issue. Consequently, I decided to switch to a Linux distribution that doesn't use Systemd.

This. If you have the money just go for it.

Anything simple besides Systemd would do the trick for you. Linux is not Unix technically but actually it is somehow Unix. Void linux, Mx, Artix and these kind of distros are closer to your philosophy. Or just buy an apple silicon product.

What you need is Windows 11.

MX is so fucking nice, especially when you enable it to load itself entirely within RAM. MX and Antix have long since become my defaults on everything.

FreeBSD (GhostBSD or MidnightBSD if you need something simpler) and OpenIndiana, also Alpine, Artix, Void or Slackware for linux-based.

BSD is far more unix-like than gnu/linux.

Installing and configuring FreeBSD is not easy yes?

MX is not as popular as it seems on distrowatch but it's a beautiful distro for sure

FreeBSD is a pain in the ass if you are trying to have dual boot, some linux distros are really really close to Unix anyways

depends on what you are trying to do. They have a handbook that is somewhat helpful. Alot of stuff as far as networking can go into the rc.conf file
