@curiousthinker Man, you are not going to believe what I did because I woke up early in the morning and was looking for something to entertain myself with!
I've built native Vim for ARM64 edition of Windows 11. On a phone! Damn, how did I end up here?🫠
My original intent was to set Pleroma up on my Void PowerPC box, but while stuff was building I've found this device lying around — and there I have it!
Even the transparency hack works with native DLL😊

Lol, I got into compiling software a couple years ago and it's a total redpill about what good code and just have a usable build system can do no matter what the operating system or distro is. People often gave me crap about using ubuntu because of "poor package availability", not knowing that I know how to port software and create my own packages 😆

@curiousthinker @m0xee same thing i tell people about slackware. slackbuilds are much better than arch builds

@dem I never was into Slackware and I think I've missed my train already, but xbps-src — Void's build system is really impressive IMO. Making a package for something new literally takes minutes if you know ins and outs. And cross-building is a matter of passing a parameter in most cases.
Debian's build system is hell even if it's backporting package to older Debian release. I can't imagine what it takes to write all these scripts/configs from the ground up 🤪
@curiousthinker

@m0xee @curiousthinker honstly the simple slackbuild script is amazingly simple and powerful

@dem @m0xee

Slackware on my Thinkpad instead of Debian? 🤔

@curiousthinker @m0xee i would say so lol, slackware is great as you already know

@dem @m0xee

Give it some time, I might get bored and give it a go.

@curiousthinker @m0xee o yea how did le openbsd switch go

@dem @m0xee

I already have a spare partition on this ssd, I'm going to install OpenBSD on it, but my Linux install has too much important stuff to nuke for the time being, also I told you it was a weekend project and my weekends are Sun/Mon. Using OpenBSD is routine for me, I'm kinda like that Root guy on Jewtube.

@curiousthinker @m0xee ah i see, le weekend for me is fryday to satday. also you have a good way to backup your stuff its le important
