Does one really care? Have you looked at https://www.clearlinux.org/ https://github.com/clearlinux https://github.com/CachyOS https://github.com/MX-Linux ? Would they lack anything? I picked these three specifically because I tested them recently on new hardware I got. What they have in common is their focus on encapsulating 4. For mere mortals, while not doing 5, or at... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I like Manjaro XFCE, it's rolling updates so it's as packages come out you can update to the newest (it pulls latest from github, but has other repos) if you want oldschool oldschool, check out antiX linux, MX Linux is based on AntiX but looks semi-better, they're based on Debian. Remember though, debian is like 5 package versions behind, because that's what they do with their auditing for stability. MX Linux has... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
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: about 3 years ago
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.

I thought I would never say this, but I think you should try the KDE edition of https://mxlinux.org/. Source: about 3 years ago
With those specs you are looking at something designed for low power machines, and not one of the more beginner friendly distros. I would take a look at q4os or Puppy Linux. Source: over 2 years ago
Https://q4os.org/ and https://xpq4.sourceforge.io/ It's does not seem well known but it looks and works very closely to old Windows. I have a side project plan to take this, combine it with a decent laptop, pre install libreoffice and a browser and sell it as "Stable OS" with a long term "no-change" policy to anyone who just needs a basic computer where not everything changes at the whim of someone looking for a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
Try q4os with Trinity desktop. Trinity is the fork of KDE 3.5 iirc Https://q4os.org/. Source: about 3 years ago
Okay. The best way for beginners to experience dual boot is to install Q4OS. Look up for tutorials online about it and the best part is, it can stay on your Windows partition without hassle like resizing it or disableing secure boot which isn't hard on that laptop but for security reasons and Windows itself, just try like this. You will take small but important steps. After you decide to upgrade your laptop if... Source: over 3 years ago
My best suggestion is buying a cheap thin book. I use one. HP T620 Thin Client. You can buy it on eBay for $50 including shipping (here). Then I installed Q4OS (here) which is a Debian based version of Linux. Then install Docker and Portainer. There are many guides on google on how to do it. But don't get confused with Home Assistant OS versus installing it inside of Docker. They are different. Source: over 3 years ago
