KVM is indeed a much better hypervisor, but it does require some setup with the terminal.
Since he is a beginner I decided to recommend virtualbox since it just works after installing. But if he doesn't mind setting up things via terminal then KVM is definitely the way.
Welcome aboard! ๐ง
If you decide later to test other distros I would highly recommend using a virtual machine in virtualbox. Saves the hassle when it comes to testing distros ๐
I was saying that you do spend less time cause it is already there. Also you can have logs on other init systems, what I said on the post is that if later I wanted logs I could just setup instead of being already there (and the other utilities, not just the logs of course).
Thx, I will check out Guix. Seems a very interesting distro ๐ฅ
For daemons, its simply symlinking the services in the 'sv' folder to the var/services, it should be running after that.
Not sure how compatibility with systemd apps work on other inits but for what I know the packages that are shipped focus on specifically the init system that you are running (from whatever repo you use to install on the distro, for example artix has other inits besides runit).
Edit: Also you have the 'sv' command on runit that acts exactly like systemctl. You can stop, start and all that stuff
GNU Guix, definitely going to check out! I think also most of the packages I have are foss, for non-foss I have flatpak anyway ๐ค๐
Are there any plans on adding features that enable easier interaction with other federated platforms like mastodon and peertube (for example being able to comment/interact with peertube videos and mastodon posts)?
Bringing more interactivity between fediverses would be very cool, maybe in the future we can have more direct interaction as well hopefully
Thx for clarifying the point. ๐
