 2+<h2>the derive linux distribution</h2>
 3+<p>derive linux is a simple musl-based distro focusing on being static at all times</p>

 8+  derivelinux was also an operatng system that i took part in the foundation. early on in its life, i made art, pioneered ideas, and made friends :)<br>
 9+  until recently, i havent ever used derive aside from testing; even when i made ports, manpages, fixes back then, i was on other operating systems like <a href=k1ss.org>kisslinux</a> and FreeBSD, and i grew to dislike derive a little for whatever reason. its development seemed as if it came to a halt, and that derive was a dead, unusable project. but one day, i was having issues with Guix, and searched for a really <i>new</i>-to-me operating system to try out. i decided to try derive for the first time in a LONG while.
10+</p>
11+<br>
12+<p>
13+  and derive was lovely. it reminded me of kiss alot, A LOT, and i was a little joyful every time a package finished compiling. but, i needed to make derive home.
14+  <br>
15+  back on guix, i adopted stuff like guile and emacs into my workflow, and i was missing that on derive. i know that they (shrub) would never accept a pr porting GNU tools, so i decided to do what i do best, and split.
16+</p>
17+<h3>practicing <a href=https://srcdump.net/chld/ports-heresy.git>heresy</a></h3>
18+<p>
19+  shrub would never accept my pr because <a href=https://codeberg.org/derivelinux/ports>derive ports</a> are opinionated. see, they have a <a href=https://derivelinux.org/replacements>whole list of replacements</a>--i dont need to elaborate, do i? i then remembered when i used to argue with shrub in the discord era, pushing for more packages so the user can choose, but he ultimately denied it.
20+  <br>
21+  now, ill take it into my own hands, and make my own ports overlay where user choice is prioritized.
22+  <br>
23+  it started with emacs, then guile, then foot, other packages that have no reason to not be in the repos, to porting actual programs that were on the <a href=https://derivelinux.org/replacements>replaced page</a>
24+  <br>
25+  heresy is now an extension of the upstream ports, providing a wide selection of additional ports, and some fixes to existing ports.
26+</p>
27+<br>
28+<br>
29+<p>
30+  but there it was, derive. i ported conty, a self-contained archlinux container that i can use to run dynslop like gtk/qt apps, or potentially game with wine.
31+  <br>
32+  derive is complete for me.
