I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn’t doing much of anything, so I’d like to dual-boot something “interesting”. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y’all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative....
You want to try something interesting but want to dual-boot. That last bit could be difficult or “impossible” but using a VM or running from USB stick are options.
www.haiku-os.org I’ve run it from USB stick on some older laptop.
www.gobolinux.org GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy. Doesn’t seem up to date but quite interesting. If I remember well you can have different versions of software installed at the same time. Let’s say (making this up) Bash 1.1, 3.1 and 5.2
bedrocklinux.org Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which allows users to mix-and-match components from other, typically incompatible distributions.
Tested here with LibreWolf installed with Flatpak system wide. Up to date Arch Linux, installed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies packages, logged in to the xfce-session, started LibreWolf from the menu, downloaded something to ~/Downloads. No issues.
I wanted to degoogle since Google has been most annoying so far with S21FE. Was thinking of getting Pixel 8a but due to mixed reivews I was looking for other phones. Thoughts on this? Would be also nice if I can get some opinions from people who have the phone as well.
/e/OS is based on LineageOS with microG. They did make a choice for Magic Earth as maps app which is not open source. For “normies” /e/OS seems a fine choice to me to De-Google.
Have other comments made you dislike /e/OS ? microG, which /e/OS uses is not using Google but a replacement for the Google Play framework if you would for example need location feature for some of your apps.
So i downloaded opensuse iso on my pendrive with ventoy, but during installation I’m getting errors due to not matching 5SMD code or smh like that, is there a any way to install system to get a fixed iso?
Did you do a sha256sum or md5sum checksum after downloading the iso file and after copying it to the Ventoy pendrive ? (Linux uses caching for copying. Taking the pendrive out before your system has done a “safe remove” can cause problems)
I’m pretty comftable with linux mint right now but i want to peruse the wares so to speak, what are some cool or interesting distros that do things differently than mint?...
Hey folks, I just got Bazzite OS KDE up and running on my PC. Being a Linux newbie, I’d love some tips, tricks, and app suggestions if you have any. 😅 Switching from Windows has been a bit of a maze with all the distros out there, so any pointers would be awesome!...
