I took your suggestion to heart and decided to say fuck it and move my whole GitHub over to Codeberg. The non-profit nature, being hosted in Germany where I’m also from and ditching the last Microslop service I have make this something I should have done sooner. The only thing left is the repo for the website itself, I’m gonna set up the actions to automatically sync it with Hetzner tomorrow, I’m done for today!

Check out the comment I just left, I implemented a solution that pacman is now completely usable so it’s literally just vanilla Arch but atomic instead of being Flatpak-only!

UPDATE
I took your suggestions to heart and updated the website to reflect the changes I implemented today. The big change is that I found a way to keep pacman fully intact and functioning, but make it apply the changes atomically. So now this isn’t just limited to Flatpaks, but LITERALLY Arch Linux but made atomic.
The new intro reads:
“Plutonium-239 is Arch Linux, made atomic. It combines the rolling release model of Arch Linux with an atomically updated root filesystem inspired by SteamOS on top of the heavily optimized CachyOS performance kernel. Unlike immutable distributions that lock you out of the native package manager and force you into sandboxes, Pu-239 keeps the core Arch experience intact. You still get the full power of pacman and the official Arch repositories, with the peace of mind of an unbreakable safety net underneath.”
For more information, please check out the updated “How it works” section. Thank you all a lot for the feedback!
Man, good question, I’m still torn about this. Initially I was forced to use GitHub specifically from my university, now it kind of stuck. I haven’t pushed much yet anyway so I might even make the switch.
Man if only that money would have been sent to them and not this clown.
Jup, there’s literally nothing going on from a design- or technical perspective. The guy pretty much just ships his Hyprland rice and calls it a distro. It’s just part money-laundering, part promotion of ideals.
First of, good on you to want to get deeper into it, you won’t regret it! Opinions have to be formed at some point or another, same goes for developing a sense for what sounds accurate or not. I do agree that Mint is easy and intuitive to use for most non-technical folk like idk, your parents maybe, and I do often recommend it myself, but visually? No similarity at all in the design-language in my opinion haha
What are you currently leaning towards?
I’m currently working on one, will release the website this weekend and the first public in-development build next week. I’m combining the kernels and CPU-specific optimizations from CachyOS (compiled and hosted myself to be in line with their repo policy and licenses) combined with the way SteamOS makes Arch-Linux atomic/immutable, implemented a little more to the way Fedora Silverblue does it. So pretty much unbreakable PLUS fast and optimized.
I will never get why Mint is regarded as looking similar to Windows, I guess it just became a thing for people to parrot (no offense to you, just complaining about why this is such a widely agreed on thing) when it only shares the layout but visually looks NOTHING like it. Very round, no gradients or transparency, just mono-colored, the design language has no similarity at all. Any vanilla KDE Plasma install looks instantly more recognizable to a Windows user.
Installing the Intel One Mono font, so much easier to read
Gen 1 X13 currently go for 100-150 bucks, they are the best value but compiling time is gonna be pretty trash
Mal sehen, GitHub war das letzte Big Tech, bzw. USA-basierte was ich genutzt habe und war mir deswegen schon seit langem ein Dorn im Auge, bisher habe ich aber nie die Nerven gehabt zu wechseln. Jetzt war aber der beste Zeitpunkt, da das Hauptrepo noch leer war und ich meine restlichen Projekte aussortiert habe. Die kompilierten Pakete und ISOs kommen eh alle auf meinen Hetzner Webserver, Codeberg hätte quasi “nur” den Source-Code, sollte also verträglich genug sein und GitHub einfach komplett zurückzulassen!
