i've been staring at the crux site off and on for weeks telling myself it's perfect sounding yet likely time consuming and no-one would be around to help out if things go wrong... but I cannot resist any longer, so i'm going easy mode in a vm for now
<SiFuh>
Many people around here
<r0ni>
well i searched around reddit for a while and there isn't very active communities there for crux, but all things considered I assumed if there was a community anywhere, irc is where it would be ;)
<SiFuh>
You found it
<r0ni>
i certainly did!
<SiFuh>
Follow the handbook and you will be good. Any difficulties, #CRUX members are always here
<SiFuh>
Kernel troubles, there is a fully modular kernel on the CD under kernel/contrib/ that may help you out. Some Network devices may require manually built drivers from source.
<r0ni>
does the pre-config included one include virt* modules? that'd be the only thing I can think of that I'd mess up
<r0ni>
I haven't made a habit of building kernels since the 2.4x days, so i'm a little behind with kernel configuring
<SiFuh>
Pre-config? CRUX installs and builds find in VMs

Official repositories are at the top. User contributed are below. You will find duplicates though. Jaeger has an unoffical database that is pretty cool if you want to see if the repo has broken ports and stuff. https://crux.ninja/portdb/
<r0ni>
I like that user contrib repos are listed and searchable thru the site, i'm not that far yet, but that's nice to see
<r0ni>
(I'm a slackware user and outside of SBo mentioned here and there, good luck with finding trustable repos)
<jaeger>
very late for me and I'm about to sleep but yes, MATE is maintained. wayland works and at least sway is available. I've been meaning to try a kde5/plasma wayland setup but haven't had time yet
<r0ni>
once i explore a bit of the os, i'd like to try and port something to it, just to see how it goes and what pain (or not) awaits
<joacim>
it is pretty simple and nice. but porting larger projects requires effort ofc
<r0ni>
I kinda would like to port gnome... me and a few guys did it on slackware, and as a test to see if I could get it going on another distro, crux called out to me being similiar yet different
