• Help Selecting Linux Distro for Older PC and Linux Newbie

  You might also want to look at a distro set up to run something like OpenBox instead of a full desktop environment. It's pretty easy to add a lightweight panel (like tint2 or fbpanel) and get something like a Chromebook interface, but with a full linux distro behind it. Check out Crunchbang++. AntiX also has Fluxbox, if I'm not mistaken. Source: 11 months ago

• An easy to install/use distro to run on a potato?

  You could try CrunchBangPlusPlus, that's Debian stable with the Openbox window manager: https://crunchbangplusplus.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Using Linux without DE

  If you'd like to tinker with this, CrunchBangPlusPlus is a Debian-based Openbox though the kernel and mesa are a little old now, or Fedora has a spin with i3 which is newer so probably better for gaming. You can also try install these window manager packages on your current distro. Source: about 1 year ago

• Small 32 bit debian based distribution?

  If you want a terrible desktop. I would personally recommend some kind of basic window manager setup like the ones provided by chrunchbangplusplus, or bunsenlabs. However I can only really recommend the desktop setup and not the distro itself as I have no idea how they are managed. You might need to change the repos to the standard debian ones.

• Smallest DE for Debian?

  How about Crunchbang++? It's based on Debian 11 but uses OpenBox with a panel (tint2, iirc) instead of a full DE. That'll give you a good, small base and you can install anything else your users will specifically need. Source: over 1 year ago

• Cosmic: The Road to Alpha

  You can click the button labeled "Support Pop" on this page. https://pop.system76.com/ The only option is $12/year last I checked. It'd be nice if we could donate a larger amount easily. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Using Linux Full-Time 2 years later

  Back when I first started to commit myself to "full-time Linux" I experienced stuff that many others had which was Decision Fatigue due to the amount, I mean the AMOUNT of choices of distros that I can use nuts, and I stick to the gamer OS which is Pop!_OS and my experience isn't really nice, especially with the experience of updates that sometimes a bit...outdated, also the software I use is limited that is just... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Cannot Launch ANY Games...........

  Pop_OS uses systemd_boot instead of Grub and requires a 1GB Fat32 partition with the boot flag enabled. Manjaro can still boot Pop_OS. Pop_OS LTS ISO ==> https://pop.system76.com/. Source: 5 months ago

• New to Linux

  You have a mix of older and bleeding edge hardware. Core i7-4790 was release in 2014 thus "older" (not old in my opinion). Your RTX 4060 GPU is bleeding edge hardware. What this means is that your CPU will be supported by a long list of Linux kernel versions. Your GPU might need one of the newer kernels to work properly. System76, makers of the Pop_OS distro, also sell Linux laptops and desktops with RTX 4000... Source: 5 months ago

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use. At work, I gained most of my linux knowledge from docker and configuring / administrating RHEL... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
