Guest88: if you can get java and junit working, sure. we dont use networkmanager here. either eiwd or wpa_supplicant. but youre free to package networkmanager for yourself if you like
<Guest88>
ahh okie, i have to connect to eduroam so i usually usi nmtui but its it possible to do so using wpa_supplicant?
<Guest88>
also on java has anyone here managed to get it working? i was hoping to learn to use emacs and program in java using it this semester haha
<sad_plan>
I suppose so? unless theres something really wierd about this network. eiwd/wpa_supplcant usually does the job just fine. and iirc, networkmanager doesnt work on its own

theres been some work on getting java working, but I have no idea if that actually faned out
ahh my fear was that the oracle java tar was limited to systemd or something
<sad_plan>
no, I dont belive it is. alpine also has several java packages. to avoid having to figure out the headache, you could also just fetch alpines packages instead.. they also appear to have junit packaged

alpine is a decent choice if you want something smaller, with musl, but dont want the hassle of building. chimera is also a good option imo, but its a bit niche with their coreutils, seeing as they use freebsd's utils. using kiss, and just fetch some apks on the side is rather optimal if you ask me. keeps the system lean

i think for now i might go alpine and try kiss when semester ends, i need it to work so i dont give myself a reason to procrastinate by hacking at the system haha
