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.

There might be some savings to be had with some sort of local package cache over 10GiB Ethernet.

Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

It's fast, but you are only installing base, linux and grub.

base-devel should also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.

But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.

I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it's not like it's needed. I know multiple people who don't touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all

[–] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 2 points 1 month ago

I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.

networkmanager is for chumps, long live dhcpcd

disqualified!

This would be interesting if it was Gentoo.

I don't quite understand the point of these speedruns since there's usually not a defined end target and there are so many variables which are not under the user/installer's control, like disk, processing speed

Isn't the purpose getting views on youtube?

[–] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

pretty misguided way to do so then lol

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Doesn't really matter as long as people watch, I guess. Or maybe it's purposefully that way to draw engagement

[–] exu@feditown.com 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Time for systemd-speedrun to standardise this

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Good lord. Dead it, run from it, systemd still arrives

It's defined right there in the title. First keypress to login prompt.

[–] hernanca@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

I feel like it's mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.

[–] another@discuss.online 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah it really needs to be a target decided by someone else and not announced ahead of time.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It takes a while but I'm surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.

No, no and... yes.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

I intentionally misunderstood for (not very) comedic effect

[–] drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's the way it's written, it's typically hour:minutes.seconds

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

No, it isn't. A decimal is always a decimal.

[–] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's not ISO-8601 / RFC 3339.

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought that was honestly the joke.

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There's only like 10 minutes of actually typing commands.

Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.
