I use rolling Alpine on my servers though

>>108856426
I heard edge was unstable, never tried it. And since my servers run diskless I don't want to deal with committing package updates.

>musl
do you really fall for the meme of running container oriented server distro as your daily driver kekaroo kekypow

>>108856453
latest-stable

>>108856465
>server distro
>your daily driver
???

>>108856472
That's not actual rolling though, updates are still system wide not per package.

>>108856465
>>108856476
But also I do use musl on my daily driver (gentoo). If it doesn't compile from source, I'm not running it on my host regardless. Fedware belongs in a vm.

>>108856491
as long as I don't have to manage point release upgrades I don't give a shit

I run a FreeBSD server on bare metal. Am I getting an award or sued for it?

>>108856476
Ah my bad, I read past the OP. Yes as a server distro Alpine is very nice. For daily driving musl can be restrictive unless you have limited use cases.

Just run Debian on your server and Pop oon your desktop and stop trying to be contrarians

>>108856557
Same argument can be used for "just run windows". Ubuntu based distros like pop are budget windows. The whole age verification thing was a pretty good filter. Ubuntu and fedora were among the first to try and comply.
Also, genuinely curious, how do you install source packages on debian? Their whole packaging system isn't made for the end user. Are you really just supposed to "make install" untracked files into /usr/local? If so the distro is a joke

I just use ubuntu server LTS instances since it's good enough. People may hate systemd for good reasons but it does make it really simple to run services and time them so they will start once the machine is ready.

>*BSD Not made to run on bare metal.
Oh gee, chucks, somebody forgot to tell that to the whole FreeBSD mailing list, then.

>>108856128
i use alpine for services that i can't use openbsd for. i use rhel for all my hypervisors because xen is not the best but ive been considering them over to netbsd/xen now that i have my ghettokvm

>BSD Not made to run on bare metal.
what?
Alpine is great tho, especially on desktop

>>108857628
>what?
It has no drivers.

>>108856476
i dont think thats true alpine has tons of software clearly build for interactive use in it's repos

>>108856128
nixos already won the server wars. very quick to deploy and maintain.

>>108856128
>Not made to run on bare metal.
Can you stop spouting this meme already, FreeBSD is already used on many servers
>b-but muh containers!
Use jails

i run bsd on bare metal too, think the meme is that a lot of hardware needs proprietary drivers that bsd wont fuck with (im sorry bsd doesnt support controlling your rgb razer tranny keyboard anon)
