neonred,

Debian. So that would be Noteviluntu.

Start with Debian stable (rock solid, well integrated packaging).

When you feel comfortable and have achieved some experience, switch to Debian sid (rolling release, updates very often, be a bit cautious).

neonred,

$ cage foot

neonred, (edited )

For those who don’t understand: cage is a kiosk wayland window manager, which means it only runs one program in the foreground and in fullscreen.

foot is a graphical terminal emulator.

So the joke here is to run a terminal emulator in fullscreen and kiosk mode on a wayland wm from tty, which, at first sight, looks exactly the same as just tty. So you use wayland for a lookalike tty session, which is a nod at OP’s image which states you wouldn’t run a tty on x or wayland.

(But cage+foot has mouse support, nice fonts, can launch graphical programs, etc., and has itself established as a kind of rescue shell for tty-less kernel distributions)

I am not sure I understand. Are you having problems running cage?

neonred,

Fun fact: in German, peanuts are called “Erdnuss”, which literally translates to “soil nut”, which seems actually fit like a glove. To be honest, I never thought about the name it has. Learn something new every day.

neonred,

A 14 TB medium is always 14 TB, which is close to 12 TiB. Minus metadata of the filesystem and granularity of a allocation sector.

neonred,

It’s 2 TB, not 2 TiB. One is to the base of 10, the other to the base of 2.

neonred,

I would have chosen Debian with KDE Plasma (or with Cinnamon if you prefer that) but… close enough :)

Welcome to the herd!

neonred,

Still based on Ubuntu and conceived by Canonical, but give it a spin, that’s part of the fun to try things out, break them, try the next toy :)

neonred, (edited )

Only half a joke as I do have an eye on what happens with NixOS, Redox, Guix and other, more experimental, stuff. Gonna look up on Ion, thanks

neonred,

Redox

neonred,

Just found out this agrees with my opinion on all the distributions:

In case you want to do the usual distro hop in the future, just because there are so many jummy flavours

Wow, I’ve never seen something like this.

Is it" allowed"? I mean, there are quotas for user homes.

Because of excessive RAM I symlink ~/.cache to /tmp. Additionally installing zramswap helps for this scenario.

Benefits are faster access, automatc purging between reboots and no wear to the NMVe drive.

Yes, this is a single user scenario.

neonred,

Don’t forget loadhigh (lh) and his friend DEVICEHIGH and check with mem the memory layout if anything more can be sqeezed into some unused block lying around…

neonred,

Debian sid is just as fresh and a (nearly) rolling release distribution. I game on it with Wine, Cyperpunk, X4, Baldur’s Gate and others are no problem.

neonred,

Been using my Bialetti Moka Express… for 10+ years… I use Debian btw…

Ubuntu is a product of Canonical which are a pretty evil corporation and a submarine of Microsoft. What they don’t leech off Debian is proprietay and lock-in.

neonred,

and NixOS would be?
