Thanks so much for this post! Ventoy is really the tool I never knew I really needed. Up to now, I have been reflashing and juggling sticks with various ISOs.
But even better, now I could finally update the BIOS on my Framework 13!
Wayland is the fancy new standard that never seems to stably work for me on any of my machines :( Thanks for letting me revert to X in the login screen, GNOME.
Great answers here. I’d just like to add that X and Wayland are not completing. In fact, most of the Xorg devs are the ones working on Wayland. You can find Wayland mentioned in the Xorg Foundation Website.
Idk what “container” means in this case, but gimp is only like 80 MB + some dependencies you probably already have installed. Do you mean RAM or HD memory? In any case it should be much less than 64 GB.
the Linux terminal of chromeOS is a virtual machine but it does affect chromeOS, as in everything that gets downloaded from the terminal will show up as applications of course!!
I put galliumOS on the laptop for my toddler… he likes it! But thats a specific distro for a specific netbook. Whatever you get, try GCompris, it’s a good collection of educational software
Yeah I'm going with AntiX. Used it a long time ago and assumed it had merged with Mepis to do MX, but thanks to this thread I find out it's still available
My freind got me into PC in early 2019 me and my friend built a gaming pc. Ran windows then I orginally got a raspi in late 2019 for my 3d printer to run octo-print. Later that year i saw a video about sombody using this Os called Manjaro.
Swaped out my sd card for manjaro arm, gave it a try. Few months go by its 2020. Everything locks down, i have alot of freetime. Decides to install manjaro on seprate sdd. Realize i wrote over winboot. Reinstall windows on 1st ssd. Dualboot manjaro and windows, enjoy using manjaro. Breaks multible time because I used the AUR and didnt know shit. Reinstall manjaro, uses it for a week and didnt Use the AUR. New kernal comes out bricks my install. I didnt know how to fix.
Realationship ended with manjaro, Kbuntu is new freind. Use kbuntu and really enjoy it, use it for e-learning and schooling. Learns about KVM and virt-manager Unistall windows. Use a vm for e-learning (get out of needing to turn on camera for rollcall for class because Vm has no camera for microsoft teams and teams doesnt find a camera) Uses kbuntu religously, 2 months go by arch-install script comes out. Goes back to arch, enjoys arch uses AUR breaks system again :Q. Finds out about fedora, uses fedora for a while. First time using gnome. Falls in love with the simplicy. Installs fedora silverblue on lenovo t450. Trys fedora sodalight, loves the imutablillity. Cant find a package for silverblue trys nix-env. 2021 apears i buy a lenovo w540 cant get shit to run on it (fuck you nvidia and your shitty k110m gpu) decides to try a distrobution called NixOS. Legit crack, addictive better thansex.mp3 . installs every package delcartivly (i figured out how to blacklist nvidia) install nix 23.5 soat. On main rig has a steep learning curve lots of youtube videos help. Just upgraded to 23.11 it works great only thing i cant install is W-okia Rvc voice changer for screwing with my freinds and Lightburn. Because its read only filesystem :(. Other than that everythings been great and i dont have any reason to switch from nix. I bought a t440p and installed skulls libreboot last week and Last night i was dipping my toes into gentoo. Thats neat that we had a simlar journey with manjaro LMAO.
On top of what other said, the wayland project also maintains the wayland protocols repository which includes additional protocols that are approved by a “committee” that includes representatives from wayland protocol implementations (wlroots, kde , gnome , smithay etc). for example now they are working on color management.
There appears to be a consensus among people working on window manager implementations that X has to go and wayland is the future.
Wayland has technical benefits, if you want the nitty gritty details see this.
Basically X11 is bad IPC at this point.
Also be careful with what you read online, I see misinformation about it relatively often.
Wow. 30 times in 3 years? I wonder if that’s specific packages or hardware you had. I had 5 computers (2 desktops, 3 laptops) running Manjaro for so many years, and still haven’t had a single system break. Including using a lot of AUR packages.
Though last year, I’ve moved all of my computers to Arch, Debian, and Proxmox. Arch mainly because I wanted to fully configure my systems more.
