[09:28:29] goodlings8 chromium-tester: try ungoogled chromium next time

[09:29:33] goodlings8 what the name suggests. look it up bro

[09:30:15] goodlings8 basically it strips every spooky google *feature* shoved into chromium

[09:30:54] goodlings8 https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

[09:35:57] goodlings8 I wanted to ask a question

[09:36:14] goodlings8 Which distro you guys have managed to run for the longest?

[09:37:19] goodlings8 Yikes

[09:37:56] goodlings8 I feels like running it will kill my hardware much sooner

[09:38:50] goodlings8 No. It's brand new. But still it's making the computer do extra work

[09:40:26] goodlings8 Hnn. Do you personally really need that much of a fine grained control to be compiling from source?

[09:44:41] goodlings8 Okay. I won't judge you more. You have your reasons

[09:45:12] goodlings8 I'm thinking about running guix on an old celeron notebook

[09:46:33] goodlings8 Somehow I find it more bearable than gentoo. Think it's because of the centralised configuration

[09:48:10] goodlings8 What makes it interesting. Other than it being a free software extremist distro

[09:49:21] goodlings8 I always wanted to try a fully libre distro. Unfortunately doing it on my primary laptop will interfere with too many internal and external peripherals

[09:49:42] goodlings8 How

[09:51:30] goodlings8 That's a good point I didn't think about

[09:53:42] goodlings8 Does every distro has to be unique? The benefit of trisquel is it doesn't have the temptation of non free firmware and software. Kind of like a much better mental barrier

[09:55:48] goodlings8 Makes sense. Foss extremism should be the norm

[09:55:51] goodlings8 Tho

[09:56:09] goodlings8 chromium-tester: what Chromebook you got?

[09:57:36] goodlings8 Practical while pushing the boundaries ever so often

[09:58:43] goodlings8 Damn lol. That's neat

[09:59:15] goodlings8 I hate that Arch doesn't make a clear distinction between free and non-free

[10:00:06] goodlings8 Just let me be free for the most part. While picking the absolutely necessary non free garbage I'm stuck with

[10:01:42] goodlings8 chromium-tester: !help

[10:01:53] goodlings8 Heretic

[10:02:52] goodlings8 You should try. It's addictive. It fixed my distro hopping because I could finally get everything the Linux world has to offer

[10:03:35] goodlings8 It has niche packages and new packages? Like in the air?

[10:03:37] goodlings8 Aur?

[10:04:40] goodlings8 I'm getting the hang of gentoo. Impressive

[10:04:59] goodlings8 chromium-tester: how old are you kid

[10:06:00] goodlings8 Reminds me of bsd

[10:07:27] goodlings8 Makes sense
