Just settle with Gentoo, like I have since 2004. No need for switching. 😇

D'oh!

• sysvinit with openrc-init
• elogind with seatd

Yes. I run Gentoo.

It passes the network to my TV. Just sits there. Although I planned it to act as a "pi hole" for ad blocking.

Maybe some day...

Define MFW.

I guess ignorance is bliss now?

Yes. And many people here doesn't seem to get that.

I'm not a dev of any kind. I occasionally write some bash and awk scriots to automate some things and if I need some kind of plain text (non-binary) data format I prefer tsv over json.

So why do I still get this? Is it just that many json advocates want to make sure others know json does support other data types than plain string?

I had several tests at the beginning of the script. These tests define the "low-level" functions based the capability of the shell. To test new features I "simply" ran all the necessary commands on the test environments (bash, busybox, toybox+mksh).

The script would error out if some necessary capability was missing from the host system. It also had a feature to switch shell if it found a better one (preferring busybox and its internal tools).

Yeah... It was tedious process. It was one of those "I'll write a simple script. So simple that it'll work on almost every posixy shell."... rest is history.

Gentoo cured my distrohopping

Kinda the same with me, I've been using Gentoo the most of my life.

Gah. I should have stated "I see what you did there." instead. ;)

TIL: that exists.

I've always thought GOAT stands for Gentleman Of All Trades. I make a wild guess it's Girl Of All Trades in this case?
