• Poll: Should distrotest.net be replaced with distrosea.com in the sidebar?

  We shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But..., distrotest.net wasn't perfect either, as can be seen here. Source: about 1 year ago

• Windows and Linux dualboot setup

  Yep, so definitely some learning curve as far as drivers and compatibility issues with graphics cards etc. Ubuntu has a really nice support community that has a lot of support documentation about dual boot etc. I can send some links if you'd like. I was considering doing a dual boot as well but have never pulled the trigger, even though I freed up the space on my storage drive. I did a lot of reading about it... Source: over 1 year ago

• on tech literacy and predatory business practices

  You can try any distribution online for free without installation using distrotest.net. My advice is to look for a distribution that offers the KDE desktop environment. There are others and they're great too, but KDE in particular is the closest to Windows (Windows 11 even took some of their features) and has a lot of features, including a full set of great general purpose desktop apps.

• I want too switch to linux (and im a total noob)

  Definitely follow links in the sidebar. That's why they're there. :) The distro is in some ways less important than the desktop. Mint Cinnamon and Plasma will be fairly Windblows-like. My biases are not germane, however I started on Mint and went hopping till I settled on ArcoLinux. I'd recommend either trying out distros in a VM after switching, or just go with distrotest.net. It can be overwhelming at first.... Source: over 1 year ago

• with distrotest.net gone I'm looking for alternatives way of testing linux

  Distrotest.net was a very good tool to try hundreds of distros/flavours and now it's gone. Any other web site, app or solution for achieving similar first-hand text experience ? Source: over 1 year ago

• Yozora: Linux Configurator

  At some point all of us wanted to have a fully customized and flexible Linux configuration, not having a pre-configured system like Manjaro for example. There must be people out there, who are not a big fans of DE (Desktop Environments). Sure I also got into the arch world with Plasma's KDE, but after a while, it become dull, so that's when I started getting into configuring my setup, but when I had to do it every... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: 11 months ago

• Can I rigg a Chromebook to install Linux on it? Not the virtual Linux they have an option for, I want to replace Chrome OS entirely with Linux.

  At any rate, you can try Breath, Crouton, Manjaro... Those are three of the distros people have found success with. It all boils down to the specific hardware involved... Which we know nothing about since you kept that to yourself. Source: 12 months ago

• Windows updated 8 hours into a print. I’m gonna cry.

• [root@archlinux ~]# after login

  But if you were expecting to be able to complete the install and have a GUI available, you might be better off starting with something like Manjaro: Https://manjaro.org. Source: 12 months ago
