• Installing Debian bookworm without systemd

  Anyway, if you're after a distro that doesn't use systemd and is a joy to use and tinker with, take a look at Alpine [0]. It is a lot more compact and faster compared to other distros for using Musl instead of Glibc, which means you may find software that has not been ported yet, however so far I've installed it also on mini PCs and laptops with great results. 0: https://alpinelinux.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  ×You can deploy your own arbitrary base images to Lambda, for example images based on Alpine or Debian Linux. To work with Lambda, these images must implement the Lambda Runtime API. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?

  Gentoo could provide an easy way to learn about init systems other than systemd. But in practice, coming from Arch, Artix is probably a better choice for most of the alternatives except for OpenRC (Gentoo or Alpine is better for that) and the traditional LSB init.d setup (where Devuan is really the only practical option anymore). I’m specifically mentioning Artix here because it is Arch, just with proper support... Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What is a good small Linux for education

  & https://github.com/kisslinux 4. https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ 5. https://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/index.html .. Many more, but those are all too distro-specific, meaning 'family' and associated administration and packaging tools, default choices for desktop-environment, and whatnot else. Which teaches you almost nothing about 'Linux', but the specific choices of that 'distribution', and all the baggage... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Attempt Q4OS install on Netbook, BUT "unable to install grub in /dev/sda"...solutions?

  Maybe try installing a different distro, as it could be an issue with the installer. EXE GNU/Linux is very similar to Q4OS Trinity, alternatively there's antiX, for example. You would at least be able to see if it's a general problem or just one installer. Source: 5 months ago

• Can you recommend to me a linux distro that will run really good on this laptop?
