Ah yes, TempleOS, my favourite distro

Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt
Both are weirdly religious
- apt
  Somebody called the Debian users?
  
  sudo apt -y purge arch
  am i doing this right?
- No, it's pacman. Debian is apt.
  
  You should zypp it, I hate puns
  
  Oh no a pun thread is emerging!
  
  Made me spit coffee lol

That means they support Hannah Montana Linux
- And most likely Beibian too!
  
  And uwuntu!
- Or my favourite, PonyOS.
  
  PonyOS actually uses its own custom kernel that isn't based on Linux.
  
  What the fuck??? Its a real thing???? Damn Thanks for sharing

Side note, isn't TempleOS not Linux based?
Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?
Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev's name was Terry Davis.
- No, it's not. I'm making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.
  He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It's quite a sad story. ):
  
  Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he'd be today if he hadn't lost his marbles.
- thou shalt not use any software written by that rude Finnish man
  God, apparently
- The glowies want you to think it is Linux based
- Terry was a Linux user btw. He used Ubuntu on his streams.

As a linux user you should know that all VPN companies are as trustworthy as a chronic liar, and therefore not rely on one. So it doesn't matter that they don't support Arch, really. And even good that they don't support Tails.
- Mullvad is pretty good
  https://github.com/mullvad
  https://mullvad.net/en
- Arch users, by definition, roll their own Wireguard networks
  
  Of course, I need to access my two different networks from anywhere anyway. And then I can also force all traffic through random proxies.
- K so what should I be doing instead
  
  Just use mullvad
  
  Probably TOR.
  I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven't checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.
  So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.
  
  For most people, using https and dns over https (DoH) is probably all that's needed.
- It say TailOS, not Tails though.
- I know, I don't even know why I was on the site lol.
  
  Kinda misphrased, I didn't want to call out you specifically, I don't think you'd be stupid enough to fall for VPN companies, that was more of a general statement to/about all linux users :3
- A VPN introduces a new party who can harvest your data. It doesn't avoid IP tracking, it just shifts it from your ISP to another entity.
  You have to trust that your VPN provider's claims of no logging/tracking are accurate, you can usually get fairly confident with research but it's never 100%.
  Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to dissuade VPN use. It's a still a great choice.
  
  The vpn use case is mostly when you have an internet provider that is actively monitoring you or accessing blocked content
  
  You're only shifting the tracking from your ISP and the target server to the VPN company, which is just as likely to talk.
- Hosting vpn in cloud is the way to go, I guess?

The fuck is "TailOS"
Also what about
Gentoo
Alpine
NixOS
Just to name a few
NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead
- Don't use Proton.
  
  Seconded. Proton's CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn't even try hiding it.
  I've canceled my Proton subscription and I'm going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.
  
  Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.
- TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)
  
  Yeah that's called "Tails" not TailOS. And it's a pretty great tool.
  
  Yeah that would be tails and it is an entire distro lol not just a browser
  Not especially secure though
- Did you forget BedRock ?

no arch support, why? arch is a major distro
- it just means they can't help you, if you have an issue. of course you can still connect to their VPN.
- It's probably in the AUR. It's just unsupported.
- IDK why they are listing distros. They could just provide a wireguard config and be like "If you have wireguard, you can use the VPN", and 99% of distros would be supported.
- It's in the AUR. One can also PKGBUILD and install via pacman manually.
- I use Nord on arch daily, works really well.
  
  btw nord vpn is a scam. Has poor security and mines your data. Look what i found on the dark web. Your data might be there

Best I remember from the doc I watched, TempleOS doesn't even have a network stack.
- Who needs a network stack when you can speak to God on your OS? Isn't he like... connected to everything anyway?
  
  .
- TempleOS is not even Linux based. It's a unique 16bit kernel.
- Terry was protecting us from social media
- It may not have a network, but what about a virtual network?

ok but nobody uses arch
- yeah most people prefer arch btw
  
  big claim ; small distro
- BTW I just installed it on my new computer…
- i use manjaro, which is an Arch derivative.
  Manjaro is pretty popular. and the AUR is the tits
  
  you don't have to be ashamed that you use templeos

Make a list about which distro is included, not which not.. Else you would have a never ending test process..

I can understand TailOS, as it works with TOR. TempleOS is a strange thing from the start, but Arch?

We must hold these sinners to account, this is the percicution that God warned us about! We must defend the Temple at all costs!

I support Arch, but I will refuse the business of anyone who would choose to install Arch on their machine.
- Why?
