m8, also, no configuration of packages possible? Not even like some BSDs? This sucks.

Am I the only one unable to post with Tor anymore?

Honestly, I like its simplicity (though I prefer sabotage) but I'm too used to Gentoo's features. While Gentoo is the Free/Dragonfly of the BSDs, this is the NetBSD (minus the extensive uarch support).

I used it for a while. Its simplicity is really nice, the way the packages are handled is a good point to talk about, you simply list a directory to know which ports are available and you can easily modify the compiling script to add or remove options, but you'll have to tell pkgmk to ignore the footprint file. The problems I had were not unique to Crux, but to how I have been spoiled by other distros, for instance, I didn't know you have to set the kernel to use UTF-8 before booting it, I had trouble setting japanese fonts on X and couldn't make Anthy (japanese input) to work for shit. The compiling time for Chromium was a nightmare (using a Thinkpad T510) but Gentoo users also suffer this.

Overall I recommend for people looking for simplicity and is not afraid of reading manuals.

Chromium is nice when its up and running but its code is blegh. I prefer Qutebrowser

We don't need another distro thread.

This.

Next time make something like "source based distro general" or something
