SuperSpruce, in The 9 Smallest Linux Distros That Are Super Lightweight

The reason why I gave Linux a serious look was due to how lightweight it can be and how it can make crappy hardware run fast.

It’s like taking a 0.66L 3-cylinder engine from a big SUV (Windows) to a motorcycle (lightweight Linux distro). And then it does 0-60 in under 4 seconds (the system runs super fast).

Don’t use Tiny Core Linux. The wiki is a mess of articles for two different versions, neither of which is the current one. Sign-up to the forum has been broken for years and the owner seems to like it that way because the same happened when he created Damn Small Linux.

some_guy, in How to get Nobara to STOP overriding my Firefox homepage??

I think I saw this question days before with a different title and less answers? Is that you? If so, glad you got help here.

n2burns, in Acer Aspire 1 ARM Laptop Has Nearly Complete Upstream Linux Support

I was interested until 4GB of RAM. I have 8GB on my 13 year old Thinkpad x201, and that’s sometimes not enough!

yeah but how fast is that 13 year old ram

pixeltree, in How to get Nobara to STOP overriding my Firefox homepage??

I asked a friend who uses nobara and he says

Oh I know what they’re running into

They’re using the rpm which is copied from fedora upstream

Fedora ships with firefox by default and sets the home page to the fedoraproject site

Not sure what they’re doing to trigger it to revert though

Nobara moved to chromium as the stock browser in order to have compatibility with steamdeck plugins, anyways

but all you do is just install firefox manually and go home

I’m not sure if that user is using the firefox rpm or flatpak

I use the flatpak with no issues, so

¯*(ツ)*/¯

tl;dr as a solution for them, try the flatpak of firefox and see if it does the same thing

flatpaks have better security anyways, because they’re sandboxxed away from being able to access the entire system

Can you get Internet access somehow? (Ethernet, Bluetooth, phone via USB) then try the driver manager gui …readthedocs.io/…/drivers.html

Roopappy, (edited ) in Problems on problems - Mint can't see my wifi card.

I bought a cheap-ass Asus laptop knowing that the installed wifi module was not supported by linux. So I bought a new wifi module that had linux support for like $20 and swapped it in.

This is the one I got, but I’m sure there are more like it. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SH6GV5S

Xirup, in Linus Torvalds interview Reader's Digest - 2001

Linus is my superhero, apart from being the creator of Linux he can also give me marital recommendations

fxdave, in Problems on problems - Mint can't see my wifi card.

Some distros do not include all supported device firmware in the base system. You have to determine your wifi adapeter and install the firmware for it. You may want to use usb tethering from your phone for that.

What’s the WiFi adapter?

wiki_me, in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

Having some hardware mentioned on the site that is supported and ready for use could be helpful if someone wants to try it (say raspberry pi), There are probably people who are worried to will make their computer explode.
