• Which Linux version should I use on my PC?

  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: 6 months ago

• Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem

  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 / 7 months ago

• On the hunt for Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5

  Try q4os with Trinity desktop. Trinity is the fork of KDE 3.5 iirc Https://q4os.org/. Source: 10 months ago

• Dualboot with windows 10 pro and linux?

  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: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone know of ANY way to get a notification or alert whenever a WYZE device goes offline?

  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 1 year ago

• Linux hit over 3% desktop user share according to Statcounter

  I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel. Nobara is a very plain, kind of old fashioned, plain feeling UI (it rather reminds me of Windows 2000 in some ways, although it's much more advanced of course) while Garuda showcases just how fancy your desktop can look.

  Garuda (Arch based, use a Desktop environment with small memory prints like XFCE or lxqt). Source: 11 months ago

• Please Help me for my search

  Personally, I feel like rolling release distros 'should' include a properly configured (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshit/Snapper by default. This will enable the user to rollback to a working system whenever a breakage occurs; even from the GRUB-menu. As the 'unadulterated' Arch is a blank slate upon which you 'should' tinker to your heart's content, it doesn't do this by default. However, you're highly encouraged to set it...

• Is artix a good alternative to manjaro

  Personal recommendation would be Garuda Linux. Like Manjaro it is 'opinionated'; sets up (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshift/Snapper, comes with a bunch of very useful GUI-tools etc. Source: 11 months ago

• If you have a plan to use the galaxybook with linux, you don't have to buy Galaxybook.

  Yes... Most Linux Distro's the sound doesn't work... Garuda Linux is the only one I found that everything works. Source: 11 months ago
