Is there a simple video or document that could explain to an idiot how this service works? #toot #mastodon #confused

Dabbling in KISS Linux has been quite enjoyable, if surprisingly challenging. For pissing about on Linux all I really need is a terminal and a Browser, and that's just what you get. Firefox would not build without a patch which I had to dig around for, and there were one or two other things, but generally a positive experience.

Also the default name for the local Wayland repo is 'wayland' which causes problems when it comes to building 'wayland'. The script is cd'ing into $PACKAGE_NAME, and it doesn't know to look for it one level deeper.

Toughest part was kernel compilation. I am completely out of practice with it and It took a bloody age to get it right. KISS discourages an initrd philosophically, so you have to have all your drivers compiled in, which defeats my usual hack of 'just use Slackware's config'.
