What is non-structural geology? Is there such a thing as purely decorative basalt columns? Non-load-bearing mountains?

Newbie with questions about Debian

I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread here). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that’s what I installed. I’ve mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu....

Thanks! I think I’ve seen some frame skips, I’ll double check and maybe go with a different DE. And having heard all that, I’ll keep Ubuntu as a last resort.

How do you setup the auto login?

Yes it’s Gnome

I tried “flatpak remotes” and it listed flathub. I also tried “echo $?” after installation and it returns 0. So it should be working.

But when I try to install Shortwave in the terminal it says:

error: Nothing matches de.haeckerfelix.Shortwave in remote flathub

I also can’t find Shortwave in the software center.

Edit: I wonder if this is because it’s a 32 bit OS?

I was under the impression that it’s old enough to only work with the 32 bit OS. I’ll double check that and try installing the 64 bit version if I can.

If the 32 bit version is all that will run, am I shit out of luck when it comes to running any modern software?

It’s an intel core 2 duo t9300, which I’m pretty sure is 64 bit. I guess I was confused because it was previously running a 32 bit version of windows 7.

Edit: I’m not sure if it’s amd64 or aarch64 or mips64. I think it’s amd.

Thanks! I did a fresh install of Debian (64 bit) with KDE, and it seems to be working for me, except it’s already frozen up and needed a reboot twice. I might go with a more lightweight DE if that keeps happening.
