I use a KDE derivative, FerenOS. To me personally, KDE has the right amount of customizability and ease-of-use but for the record, I did try out Mint, Zorin OS, Stock Ubuntu, Vanilla OS, Deepin, Pop!_OS, Fedora Linux, Arch Linux, Nitrux, Elementary OS, Puppy Linux and pretty much all of the Linux distros under the sun. KDE was what I like best. Source: about 1 year ago

There's also Feren OS, which is a combination of Linux Mint's Cinnamon and KDE. It's a distro out of the UK. Source: over 1 year ago

Try Feren OS. It's made with windows users in mined and has a Windows 11 Layout. And I think there is a layout called classical which might be what you want as far as the feel. Source: over 1 year ago

I've tried to like Gnome, but I find it a hassle to rebuild things to work the way I want it (nevermind the worry that when things updates, I have to wait and recheck many of the extensions to update or if things breaks). I really recommend trying out more customized KDE experience like Feren, Garuda, or Xero. You may find a UX you like, and then you can just use that as basis with other distro that suits your...

It seems according to pkgsrc.org that pkgin might follow the PKG_PATH environment variable. You're supposed to set PKG_PATH="http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -p)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/", and according to uname(1), -p gives the processor architecture and -r gives the operating system [kernel] release.

I still have a Slackware install that runs some really old stuff I have. I remember working at AN ISP in the 90s and slack was are secure distro. All the important stuff (authentication, configs, etc.) were stored and served from our 'slack pool'. Funny part is now I do a very basic Slackware install that setup pkgsrc (https://pkgsrc.org) on it so I can really experience the best and worst of times! - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Today the second article on cross-platform package management has been published. It features a short description of what Pkgsrc and Ravenports are and a longer part on how they compare. The test environment and procedure is covered and of course the results are presented. At the end a conclusion is drawn. Source: over 2 years ago
