KISSmyOS,

I’m as stumped as you are. But Gnome has been cat-proof so far.

KISSmyOS,

Yeah but the mouse was dead for some reason.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

KISSmyOS,

I agree that the wealth of distros offers a choice for everyone and shows how much users love Linux as a system and respect the idea of a diverse, global open source community as a whole.

(I use Apartheid Linux btw)

Just read the Wiki!

KISSmyOS,

Wait, which Wiki did you expect?

KISSmyOS, (edited )

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Arch is in fact GNU Arch.

KISSmyOS,

How many dicks is the way to the parking lot?

KISSmyOS,

Yeah OK, but only in one of these trucks can I safely text and drive.

KISSmyOS,

PUTIN, GET OUT OF MY SWAMP!

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

The only distro I could get to boot on my old Acer One was MX Linux.
It had the rare combination of 32bit UEFI support (cause the Acer supports neither 64bit UEFI nor legacy BIOS) and the necessary firmware out of the box.

But after upgrading it to the current release, it broke again. And then I threw the netbook away cause I have better things to do with my time.

KISSmyOS,

The Distro is not important

Most distros have dropped 32bit UEFI support, so on old hardware, the distro is important.

KISSmyOS,

Bangkok Dangerous is a goddamn masterpiece, and I’m willing to die on this hill.

Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...

KISSmyOS,

Fedora. It is the flagship distro for Gnome, and Gnome is the best desktop for tablets and convertibles.

KISSmyOS,

KDE isn’t better with touch than Gnome. Maybe Plasma 6 will change that when it comes out next year, or maybe not.

KISSmyOS,

Clearly not a cat-lover. Cause there’s no cat on the keyboard.

KISSmyOS,

A Møøse once bit my sister…

KISSmyOS,

Viele Kühe machen Mühe

KISSmyOS,

Use Linux Mint until you know what other distro fits you better.

KISSmyOS,

Olive Leid!

KISSmyOS,

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, but you also avoid getting hit in the face by the rebound or having the entire stadium laugh at you.

KISSmyOS,

Arch has been more of a “just works” distro for me than OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian and Fedora.
Arch Installation nowadays goes like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">iwctl  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">device list  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* scan  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* get-networks  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">station *device* connect *SSID*  
</span><span style="color:#323232;">archinstall
</span>

And you only need the first 5 lines if you’re installing from wifi.

KISSmyOS,

Yes, if you’re a pony.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

Arch breaks all the time.

Is that your recent personal experience?

KISSmyOS,

Ich bin nicht überrascht von einem niederländischen Kommentar in einem Faden über Käse.
