• what happened to my linux mint laptop and how do I fix it?

  If you want something new you probably want to aim light. I'd opt for AntiX full version as it's very light, stable and comes with a variety of lightweight desktops, themes and other stuff to choose from at login. The sister project MXLinux could also be worth a look for a more traditional system, but I'd try the Fluxbox option to keep things light. Source: 12 months ago

• Installing MX Linux

  I'm getting an error of - Could not find file antiX/linuxfs - searched devices /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 etc. Gives me an ooption to contact Bitjam at mxlinux.org and then says P=power off, r=reboot. I've tried to look around but I'm not finding any details on what's going on. There was a mention of bad hardware, but if my other ISO's are booting no problem I dont think that is the issue.

• Arch, void or something else entirely?

  I thought I would never say this, but I think you should try the KDE edition of https://mxlinux.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Linux "beginner" in search of a Linux distro

  I tried so many Fedora, Linux mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Debian, Arch Linux, Opensuse Tumbleweed . And so on actually pretty much everything off Distro watch, YouTube , and any others I head about. And I found something I liked by each version. I'm kind thinking sticking with Manjaro, tumbleweed, Linux mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. So honestly I can give opinions on each distribution. But you want a Kde plasma. A lot of... Source: about 1 year ago

  Give MXLinux (https://mxlinux.org/) a go. Can be installed to an external drive, and changes are persistant. Source: about 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outdated, also the software I use is limited that is just...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 / 4 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
