Flavor of GoboLinux
Except it's riced out, debloated and configed for our needs
And add a arch chroot for software

The base system remains lean, minimal and frozen. Beautifully riced
Shitware and junk goes in the Arch chroot
Chroot can be accessed easily, maybe 'c' is the command like 'c pacman -S burger'

We keep the riced out SysVinit, zsh and enjoy GoboNet, GoboLight and other useful tools and features that come with the base distro and dont suffer from forced Linux obsolesence

Benefits over other distros:
sexy file system hierarchy
sexy boot screen
no systemd
separation of concerns - the host system is always lightweight and small, thus easy to manage
Nature of the system allows flexibility and extensibility


Ideas:
Maybe three primary chroots for multiple kinds of software?

Debian 10/11 chroot or Devuan 12 chroot
Gentoo chroot for compilation autism, maybe use one of the retro/classic prefixes maintained by the veterans/greybeards for less trouble
Arch chroot for the AUR?
Issue: need to install same libs across all chroots, very fucking stupid
Maybe Arch is all we need for the chroot because of the AUR

Notes: New versions of MESA in chroots cause problems, Gobo's Mesa is 19.4.1 and compiling a new one is a pain in the fucking ass and WILL make you go through dependency hell. Currently the only solution here is to install older versions of Mesa on the chroot. I don't think anybody here plays modern garbage though so this is an acceptable downside
Flatpak doesn't work in chroots and I haven't been able to make it work on a host Gobo system.
Not like we'll be wanting to use those anymore given they're willing to comply with AV laws now..


Thoughts? This is looking like something similar to CloverOS except instead of ricing out and customizing Gentoo, it'll be customizing GoboLinux in an effort to make a .iso that's usable out of the box and doesn't require two weeks worth of compiling and configing..

So...How is it riced out ? , WM ? , Display Manager ?
What features does it have ?
>no systemd
Cool so then what does it use instead ?
>sexy filesystem hierarchy
Cool so what does it use ?

Checking this out just leaves more questions

it'll look like pic rel

Disappointed, I was hoping this would be an actual thing, even if it was something kind of lame that's still much cooler than a bunch of "wouldn't it be cool if ..." That besides, you have no good suggestions. Your main draw is that this would be based on GoboLinux. It would have a pre-existing 'desktop rice' that you like, but which 99% of Cyberix users would rip out to use their own. The kind of person who would need an Arch chroot for whatever reason could figure out how to set it up themselves. What is the value proposition to the type of user who would need this, then?

My guess is that it'd probably be to GoboLinux what MidnightBSD is to FreeBSD.
Gobo requires you to really hammer and crease it in if you want to actually use it as a daily-driver.
That's a pretty damn small niche, though

I was expecting something on the vein of CrunchBang when I read the title. You know, a distribution for the sophisticated man, something to make their playground.
Instead, it's a fever dream of a distribution.
