Thanks! Spread the word 😉 👍

You can choose which kind of package your prefer now . Look at www.linuxmate.org

Fair point on the wording. The blog text was LLM assisted, but the decisions and the project are mine and I edited it heavily to match what I actually did and why. I should have said “the reasoning behind the project” rather than “my reasoning.” If it helps, I can add a short note to the blog saying it was AI assisted but curated and based on my actual experience running LinuxMate across multiple machines and distros. Now that the wording is clarified, I’d rather keep the thread about LinuxMate and practical feedback. 😄

What do you mean?

asking us to read? I do not ask you to read?

Nice. But just a note nixOS and MicroOS both have config files so you can replicate an exact install. OpenSUSE has autoyast so you can define a system and port that to your next install.

true. but autoyast is not everyones cup of tea
BCsven @lemmy.ca English
Do you mean because of having to build your system first then write out the config via autoyast? To then use the config next time you install?
If that is the an issue then MicroOS is probably a better option for someone, they have a config builder to insert, so at first boot the system installs itself.
True, and you’re 100% right that NixOS, MicroOS (Ignition), and AutoYaST can reproduce an install very cleanly.
LinuxMate isn’t trying to replace declarative provisioning though. It’s aimed at the everyday desktop distros and the “first hour after install” problem: getting your common apps onto multiple machines fast, in a way that’s shareable and distro agnostic.
For people already living in NixOS configs or MicroOS Ignition, you’re probably set. For everyone else (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, mixed LAN machines), a simple app picker that outputs one batched script plus URL presets is a nice on ramp.
Also good note on Fuel Ignition. Quick safety tip for readers: Ignition uses passwordHash and it’s best to use SSH keys or generate the hash locally rather than typing a real password into any website.

This LinuxMate has more packages, more distros and it is faster
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
True. But someones taste… there are more ways to get to Rome 😉

- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
true so how to make it better?
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
Sure! But hey… some people like it differently
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
Added linux mint… but yeah same as Ubuntu
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
looking into it!

Which flap 😜

Haha yes, but this time without the space
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 3 weeks ago:
It is indeed with the help of llm. But reasoning is still solid and very curated.

Mermaid support is a nice idea! So I implemented it! In a couple of hours in the tepo

Good call. I’ll add screenshots to the README (desktop + mobile) so people can judge the UI without installing. I’ll also put a “quick try” snippet near the top.
