LFS is for memes. I guess Nix is a level up from Arch.

Hmm, I personally place Nix at the same level as Arch, because I see both distros being hard to get into because of how different they do stuff when compared to the average OS.
Maybe the real level up is trying to run BSD on unsupported hardware?

Arch is easier in my opinion, at least if you want to leverage the power NixOS can offer. A simple
/etc/nixos/configuration.nixmaybe not, but once you enter custom options / submodule territory and use stuff likelib.mapAttrs, I’d say NixOS is quite harder. Or just a more complexoverrideAttrs. But then again, Arch doesn’t have an equivalent to that…TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
The real level up is bare-metal Emacs.
Shame this OS does not come with a solid text editor.

Text editors are bloat, I only use punch cards

i’m new to this shit (started arch yesterday) so i dunno
i use my macOS terminal all fucking day so i know my way around a linux interface, it’s more or less the same shit (macOS uses zsh and linux uses bash…the syntaxes are almost identical, if you know one, you know the other)

You’re going to feel right at home with TempleOS.

Welp, here’s sincerely hoping this is not a bad omen.

Nice to know you’re enjoying Linux :P
I think that later on in your adventure, you’ll notice that you don’t actually need a distro that’s hard to maintain in order to do the hardcore stuff.
Going back to more tame distros (Mint, Debian, Fedora, Solus) may actually suit you better, even for said tasks.

what would you recommend for cybersecurity? i’m interested in a few things (shell scripting, web dev, nlp), but i’d also really liek to know how to stop hackers
merci3@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Cybersecurity and “stopping hackers” are very extensive and complex topics. It’s kinda like a mix of many areas of knowledge (software, hardware, coding, internet of things, etc…)
So one advice I think I can give you is that there is a “tool” of hacking that is often overlooked: Social Engineering.

Not if you are a 1337 H4XX0R like the baddass you’re answering to.
