*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...
I know Debian and others can breathe life into older machines. But i wonder if there are any distros with serious optimizations that I haven’t heard of. I’ve already tried MX Linux on an old Thinkpad SL400, and didn’t see any difference from plain Debian.
It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community....
I never use “derivative” distros. I don’t want to run into weird problems and spend hours troubleshooting only to find out they have changed some config file.

Fedora took away one of my biggest hobbies namely distro hopping. It’s so good i haven’t installed another Linux for 4+ years. Before fedora I would never use a distro for more than a couple of months. It’s beautiful, it’s solid and it’s vanilla. Everything is shipped as the original developer intended.

Best lesser-known distribution/DE for low-end machines?
