    I’m about to pay 20 dollars for 1 month of Claude, plug that shit into my BYD, and have it hack the shit out of it. I can’t code to save my own life, so I guess I’m tossing those 20 bucks over to Dario and see how my car battery melts in the middle of the night (on the cameras, I’ll either be sleeping or watching animé).










  • I like what I’m seeing here, since you are actually covering a niche that nobody else seems to be covering (maybe they are and I just haven’t seen it).

    I find value in all this. I am certainly no Dev, but have enough experience with many different Linux distros to at least serve as a guinea-pig for good projects. Enjoy your vacation, I’ll be trying to break your distro while you’re away.

    One thing I believe this could benefit from, if possible, is a way to discuss the project in real time, Matrix, IRC, anything really. Just a thought.


  • Oh, cool. Thanks for replying. I did install it in a VM for now. Now that I know what my options are, I can take it from there.

    I won’t be able to back up all my data from home in a way that males sense right now outside of my laptop, so Barr metal won’t be happening until next weekend.

    It feels pretty solid right now. I’m going to replicate my KDE configuration from the laptop onto the P-239 VM see how it behaves.


  • I finally finished reading the whole page at https://pu-239.org/

    Pretty awesome. I wanted to do it earlier, but life happens. Now that the weekend is coming up, I want to give it a shot.

    After reading the page, I could not find any mention of the home directory.

    Since I do distro-hop quite a bit, I have a disk just for my home partition that I (almost) never format so that I can keep my files there and move around distros without a worry.

    How would you suggest I partition the root/boot/EFI disk for installing your distro? I usually keep a 1GB ext4 boot partition, a 2GB EFI partition and then the rest is a BTRFS partition for root (the disk for home is a single BTRFS partition). I know it sounds like overkill, but that disk is 1TB so I’m not worried about that and like to leave room for any potential storage weirdness.

    Would you make any changes to that logic if you were in my shoes?


  • I go into distro-hop frenzies every 3 to 6 months. Last run Included EndeavourOS and CachyOS. I did stay in CachyOS for a couple of months, and used it to give some windows managers a chance, turns out I’m a DE kind of guy. Ended up back on Fedora, as it invariably happens, only this time I went with KDE. I’m a sucker for the GNOME workflow, but KDE is infinitely lighter on resources and way more customizable, so I now have a Plasma desktop that looks and behaves like Gnome.

    In terms of cutting edge and almost never breaking, and if it does break, just reboot and choose the previous good kernel, Fedora has never let me down. They did fuck up horribly last week with kernel 7.2.5, lol.
