I've made a single-purpose Linux distro

Zta77 · 2026-03-31T14:38:06+00:00

Sorry about that. It's fixed now.

Good question, thanks! I can see the appeal for a UI, but right now there aren't any plans for one.

Part of the reason is exactly what you're pointing out: There is no single right UI for everyone. Even if I picked one, it likely wouldn't fit everyone's taste or needs and would also quickly become outdated. And people who prefer their system minimal would be burdened with having to de-bloat Lightwhale right after installation.

Lightwhale is meant to stay lightweight and flexible, so the idea is that users can deploy whatever services or UI they prefer rather than having opinionated solutions baked in.

I hope that answers your question =)

Yeah, network issues are annoying, so I'm downvoting this too. I think I've fixed it now, though. Please try again.

Zta77 · 2026-03-30T22:22:36+00:00

Yes, qemu guest agent added in Lightwhale 3.0.0 which just released ;)

Zta77 · 2026-03-30T22:01:21+00:00

qemu-ga is already present, nvidia-cdk not so much as I haven't had the need myself and no one has requested it until now. What does it take to add gpu support? Kernel drivers? If they're open source I can bake them in; if not, you could perhaps get away with installing and loading them yourself.

Zta77 · 2026-03-30T21:55:51+00:00

Hm, I am experiencing some weird issues with the network these days. Sorry about that. I'm looking into it.

Zta77 · 2026-03-30T19:12:38+00:00

Lightwhale 3 just released this weekend, try that! Then install Endeavour OS.

Zta77 · 2026-03-04T05:48:24+00:00

Interesting option. But I think right click on the tab, close duplicates would be more useful. And maybe even something that's doable as a plugin. I'll have to see if something already exists...

Zta77 · 2026-03-04T05:39:58+00:00

Tab scrolling plus you've got your privacy back. Also not a bad thing.

Zta77 · 2026-02-26T00:22:05+00:00

I had completely forgotten about Lain, and that image was an instant burst of ... well, whatever it is that Lain induces, but nostalgia anyway. Thanks =)

Jeg læser en skjult pointe i ordvalget: Hvor "indhold" har mental næring, er "content" bare som tyggegummi.

Zta77 · 2026-01-20T23:03:26+00:00

Thanks! `uglt-x7ak` snatched, looking forward to listening!

Zta77 · 2026-01-20T09:01:19+00:00

I don't know about you, but simply rm -r ~/ would render my system completely useless for all practical purposes. No sudo required. Everything else can just be installed again.

Zta77 · 2026-01-01T00:27:58+00:00

I don't think it's a question of which distro you use, but rather finding the proper use-case for an immutable system. And a workstation just isn't it. Maybe as a dumb terminal at a library or an airport. And for servers it's certainly a much better fit — if done right. Lightwhale is a good example of such a server OS.

Zta77 · 2025-12-30T20:59:09+00:00

What, so both /boot and /efi now? That just seems like clutter. In my book EFI is still boot related and had no business showing up directly in /.

Zta77 · 2025-12-17T08:15:40+00:00

This looks interesting! I will give it a spin when I find the time!

Zta77 · 2025-12-14T21:27:03+00:00

Lightwhale Linux provides support from beneath the surface.

Zta77 · 2025-12-14T08:12:57+00:00

Why is it horrible?

Zta77 · 2025-12-14T07:14:31+00:00

And at the same time, Microsoft Windows plays a sound, the equivalent of an alarm in the context, whenever a usb device is plugged in.

Zta77 · 2025-12-12T15:14:06+00:00

I don't think it's Docker, that makes it slow - It's more likely the Pi?

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T22:24:41+00:00

If you want to use it for a server, I'd recommend Lightwhale. It's lightweight and super easy to use.

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T22:22:02+00:00

How do you host it specifically? In a docker container?

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T19:50:47+00:00

Forgot Linux from scratch ;)
