From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My "I don't have time for this" moment came when I tried to set up Nextcloud on Arch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud

Meanwhile on Slackware:

Configuration

(1) Add the following in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

  Alias /nextcloud "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud/"
  
      Options +FollowSymlinks
      AllowOverride All
      
        Dav off
      
      SetEnv HOME      "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud"
      SetEnv HTTP_HOME "/srv/httpd/htdocs/nextcloud"
  

(2) In /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, enable mod_rewrite and PHP by uncommenting
"LoadModule rewrite_module ..." and "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf",
then restart httpd.

ngl, I love how "I don't give a fuck" the slackware authors are, they didn't even bother with https on their official website.

I love how their official "support" page links to a website that includes this:

lmao this is exactly the image that would pop into my head if I imagine a Slackware user in 2023.

You don't need SSL if you're not exchanging sensitive information.

If they aren't exchanging sensitive information, then it's less not giving a fuck and more not using technologies 'just because' everyone else is.

It's a smart move.

I just installed Nextcloud on Arch and the official packages caused the most headaches I ever had within my 3 years of arch. In contrast I installed the official Jellyfin and Prometheus Server packages and they ran OOTB.

I ended up with not using the official packages but extracting the tar.bz2 into /var/www/nextcloud and slightly modifying the nginx config from their site. I had to move the inclusion of the MIME-Types file to a different block for nextcloud to deliver its CSS, SVGs and images. It wasn't exactly straight-forward too considering permissions. I found it a beast compared to many other server software.
