That's a archive. If it was advertised as something to install, then there might be something inside which can be installed, but there are different scenarios. It might be the source of a program, bundled with scripts to configure, compile and install it. It might be the compiled program with our without scripts to copy all the individual files to the right dirs. Maybe it contains just a script which fetches all the files online and installs them. It might contain a virtual enviroment and the program, it might contain another archive...

Thanks, mass murderer!

No offense, but I don't like this. Not having Karma is one of the main advantages lemmy has. Karma sucks.

I found two other things that might do the trick:

https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad

this looks like highly sophisticated gamepad emulation. IDK if you can map mouse and keys to your virtual gamepads easily, but the readme suggest that you definitly can. Looks like some work though.

https://github.com/iosonofabio/virtual_gamepad

this one is a fairly simple python script. I don't know if you're into programming, if it works you only need to change it so it registers mouse input and map that to the virtual controllers stick

.ml domains were "free" until recently, so many used them for their small scale projects. I did as well.

Nothing stops them! except shitty wages that are not enough to pay your absurdly high bills for housing, utility and shitty food plus competition which does not treat their eorkers fair and is therefore much more profitable and can easily destroy your worker-friendly cooperative, which they totally will do because CAPITALISM

a minimal, configurable (file based for git) tiling window manager

I like i3, it ticks all your boxes. Made my own config in 2020 and it still works. Keep in mind that you have to design your whole desktop enviroment when you go the window manager route. bspwm might be an option as well

terminal based package management as easy as brew (maybe Nix?)

Every linux distro has it, I'm an Arch person, many people like Archs package manager pacman, so you could go with EndevourOS or if you're adventorous with vsnilla Arch.

as much terminal emulator based as possible (i honestly mostly only need a browser and the terminal, most other apps have a TUI that i can use with the keyboard, see the above requirement)

Well, what kind of software you'll run is up to you. Linux has all the TUI stuff. If you haven't already, check out vim, emacs and nnn. Don't forget to customize your shell (and choose it first, i would recommend zsh or fish).

General advice: Look into r/unixporn, most posts there have dotfiles, look for something you like an try it (with a fresh user that you can delete afterwarda maybe?)

Iirc AntiMicroX can do this.

Arch Linux

Reasons:

• Pacman
• the AUR
• community driven
• bleeding edge
• pragmatic stance regarding closed source software
• sane defaults
• minimalism, build your own without too much compiling
• the wiki

We all know who the arsonists are. They are giving interviews on public broadcasting to Herr Biedermann.

I don't even get what this one is about.

I reported myself just now. Let us see what is going to happen.

One word: imbecile.

Free speech does not mean that you can say anything. You can't break the rights of others by using your own rights. For example, racial slurs violate human rights of those targeted by them.

German here, speaking english fluently, enough french to get everything done while on vacation in France or Wallony and learning Japanese atm.

Japanese: wtf are you talking about?

Assuming your goal is to gain knowledge about operating systems

Try arch but without kde, gnome, xfce, lxqt... make your own DE, based on a WM of your choice. That way you'll gain lods of knowledge about how an OS interacts with the user and which applications do what.

After that, you would have to go for LFS or Tannenbaums Modern Operating Systems

That wil convince many people and help them accept that you are a fucking idiot and should rethink your life choices
