The first time I installed Linux, my neighbor gave me a bunch of floppies and a bunch of print outs, which was basically building and instalation instructions. My first challenge was to order the pages and to try to make sense of them. Then figure out which floppy contained what (they were all unmarked). IIRC, it took me roughly three weeks to finally see a login prompt. I had been a rough ride but at the end I won. That was what got me hooked onto Linux, that sense of total hopelessness followed by bliss.
A few weeks later I heard the word distro for the first time and soon after that I get myself a copy of Slackware, a distro that I still use today, although Arch and Gentoo are my main distros. With Slackware, everything became so simple and smooth, but at the same time, the sense of satisfaction after was gone. It became pretty much like installing OS/2 or AmigaOS: answer some questions, make a few choices and 45 minutes of obscure sorcery later, your login prompt is waiting. Of course now I'm much older and I rely on Linux systems to earn the food that I put on the table. But I really miss those early days when Linux was really fun.

Thanks a lot for your presentation. If I may, let me correct you on somes points:
- Good point about swap, never really ask my self about it.
- No, the machine did not reboot it launch directly the freshly install NuTyX for that reason you were on SysV init and kernel-4.19 serie. After reboot you would have chooice between the 3 init and the 2 kernel the latest 5.9.x (5.10 is available as well but as kernel-510 lts packlage)
- to upgrade NuTyX, the command is: sudo cards upgrade not sudo cards sync :)
- deadbeef about windows needs deadbeef.doc package, will fix that. NuTyX cards package manager splits packages into base,devel,doc,man, etc...
- busybox commands are there just for backup purpose, means as soon the equivalent gnu command is install it will takes over. Check PATH.
Really nice how you present distributions, like it,
Im' going back building and add thoses missings packages :) vifm, weechat (hmm irc client )

Thierry

I know this is late. But question. I would like to get back to Arch Linux, and i need help with something. Read carefully please.
1. I would like to have all my programs bound using keyboard shortcuts. Can only be access using these shortcuts.
2. The home screen will be only wallpaper skipping through like every 15 minutes or so.
3. There will be no task bar, however i want widgets for wifi, battery indicator(using a laptop dell m5040), volume and bluetooth.
4. On the home screen at the top left will be the terminal. However the terminal will have no boarders, or color (using the desktop wallpaper as background) just a blinking dot or -.
Is this kind of thing possible?
I commented this somewhere else as well. Just wanted to get a response from someone.

Hello! I've been watching your content for a while and I like it very much. Thank you.
So, a question/request. I would like to see a video, if possible, of you installing and imparting your thoughts on a few very lightweight distros (lubuntu, poppy, etc.) that are also very user friendly for a new gnu/linux user. Something you consider would be an easy transition from win to gnu/linux for a 65 yo lady who is not very technologically oriented. The base doesn't really matte that much. I only have some experience using lubuntu, and debian, ut I would very much like to hear your opinions on the matter. Thank you! And have a very good holiday season! Cheers from Mex.

game over.... I'm going to shut down the NuTyX project. The domain name will end on November 28, 2021. I wish to thank all the people who inspire me and support me in this project. If you were a NuTyX user's, I'm sure they are a lot of distribution to switch to. Don't ask me which one, I can't answer you. After almost 14 years, I guess it's time for me to remove the plug.

You could install XMonad using Cabal, assuming Cabal is available as package.
I tried installing Cabal on Alpine Linux, which not only had no XMonad package, but not even Cabal. But manually installing Cabal because of Busybox utilities. I would never consider Busybox as replacement for GNU coreutils. The compatibility is deal-breaker to me.

Hi DTT. I installed NuTyX linux 20.12.1 over virt-manager; I updated nuTyX system and stayed in kernel panic after upgraded the system...
I don't understate it.... I was so interested to try and check that I could install curlew and fcitx(fcitx-mzc)...
I try with xfce-desktop...
good video, greetings...

The reason busybox doesn't have all features is not because they think the GNU versions are bad (although some of the devs might). The reason is that it is made for embedded systems and IOT devices. On a PC, it doesn't really matter though, so it is kind of weird that it is being used here.

Sir i would like to request a video about Gobo linux it's an independent linux distribution and has awsome window manager it say in the Gobo linux website that In GoboLinux you don't need a package database because
the filesystem is the database: each program resides in its own directory

Apple M1... completely destroys any competition. Linux needs to start spending resources in making unified memory a fact. Metal like API a reality. Xorg needs to go yesterday. Apple has put the computing world on notice.
