@natecull#ocaml, #rust and #Haskell all have specific packages in #Fedora and #Debian to deal with #endianness so it seems to matter. Also add that according to utfcheck Debian package description UTF-16 can be encoded in big or little-endian
@Sandra@lrvick Because in #Debian it takes multiple pairs of eyes to review and approve a package. Packages are signed and Debian Developers sign each other cryptographic keys after meeting in person and verifying passports. To become a Debian Developer one needs to prove commitment by contributing for years, receiving mentoring and passing interviews and exams.
I’ve spent all these years trying to find the “perfect” #linux os for servers in my homelab.. #debian so far seems to be the most consistent for me.. next up to try is #nixos
I dislike some of their defaults already: 1. Expects an Ethernet connection. To autostart Wi-Fi, you have to edit a couple of files (one to enable #Wi-Fi and disable #Ethernet, one to enter your Wi-Fi logon information). It should accept either connection by default and use a "wifi-config" program to set up the connection. 2. Defaults to hostname 'dietpi' instead of having you name your device as part of setup. 3. Apparently, 'root' and 'dietpi' users exist with same password ('dietpi') ... the change password step of the setup appears to give both accounts the same password. 4. This is common among nearly every GNU+Linux distro these days: I want my systems to use UTC timezone ... but where most distros use a 'locale' setting to set a local timezone, DietPi assumes I'm in London. It chose BST as the timezone.
The good. 1. There doesn't seem to be a lot of unnecessary junk installed. I'm using a 16GB microSD card, so I don't want anything that isn't needed for the chosen task. 2. Uses #Raspian / Raspberry Pi OS and #Debian repos along with its own, so most of what I might want to install is available. 3. DietPi-Survey is disabled by default.

@amic I still love me some #Gentoo, but I've mostly run #Debian or #Kubuntu the past few years, mostly because of easier access to wireless card drivers and long stretches of travel where Internet access may or may not work.
