That’s why I ended up installing ArcoLinux on my ThinkPad: it uses Calamares.

What?

Tech support has been my status since I was 12. Honestly, I enjoy being able to explain stuff like this.

That’s what I actually say. “Just use Linux” works better for the meme.

Then there’s me, reinstalling the OS because it’s quicker than installing the three months’ worth of updates I forgot about.

The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.

Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I’ll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.

Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!

Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

@hellfire103@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.

I’ll double-check the manual.

And yet, somehow, everyone was surprised.
