• A MaboxLinux Story

  It's Mabox Linux, which I hadn't heard of before seeing this post. Source: about 1 year ago

• I’m looking for a simple, lightweight, user-friendly and well-supported distro to replace Ubuntu for programming and browsing.

  Sorry; misread your post before. I like Bunsen's Berylium. Otherwise, in ascending order of weight: maboxlinux.org or Peppermint or one of the MX spins. Mabox: absurdly easily protean OpenBox. Peppermint: aimed for Internet friendly. MX: simply integrated tools for managing itself. Let me know what you think? :-) Last thought, if you do run virtual machines (RAM16GB, go for it) read this:... Source: about 1 year ago

• on an old budget laptop, what nonessential things can I delete to make Linux Mint run smoother?

  Mabox Linux boasts a minimal installation footprint like some others, which is typically a good sign for older hardware. I haven't played with this one a lot, but I'm liking what I see so far, and that it's Manjaro-based is a bit of a pivot from the usual Debian-based environments I tend to snap up.

• T400 new SSD time, what distro should I go for is the question?

  I have been running Mabox on my x200 with zero issues, it's essentially Manjaro in Openbox, with a lot of the problems people have in Manjaro, fixed. Source: over 1 year ago

  Librem 14 by Purism, can't recall the specifics for this one; sorry*. I do remember that we owe PureOS to them. Source: about 1 year ago

• I am losing my mind while protecting my online privacy

  Another option is PureOS, and you might even consider buying privacy-oriented hardware, such as the Libram product line of computers, laptops, smartphones from Purism, which is just one among many manufacturers in this market. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there any useable Linux phone Os besides Ubuntu Touch

• How to keep Debian FSF "approved"?

  If you can actually use a FSF distribution (you don’t need proprietary drivers) you can use PureOS from Purism. It is based on Debian and up streams all their work back to it. https://pureos.net/. Source: over 2 years ago
