Install MX Linux (not the AHS version) it is Debian based and pretty nice

First thing Vivek will do is abolish the FBI

I thought they had it, like a lot of phones, Samsung has a limiting to 80% or even disabling fast charging

autoconf and stuff like this? Not anymore. Since ~5 years here it’s cmake everywhere, Conan, ninja.

ah câlissssssssssse ça faisait longtemps je jouais!!!

I have tested multiple distro, in the beginning was mostly hack of multiple things and almost LFS, downloading floppies images from usenet… I then started to use Debian early 00, then used Ubuntu for years, but I don’t like snap/flatpak and lots of changes Ubuntu made so I switched to Mint Cinnamon, but hated it, often broken, glitches, etc, so I switched to MX because it is Debian based, always up to date (like latest FF and latest Xserver with last night CVE fix etc and always native .deb, no snap/flat). I also always loved minimal DE so Xfce is perfect and light. Also I mainly develop in Linux, no games.

I’m old, I come from old X11R4 time, motif, mwm, twm, fvwm, things from previous century. In modern Linux I used mostly gnome, and Cinnamon for a few years and tried to love it but cannot, I finally went back to Xfce because it works, it’s simple, neat, nice, I have no icon on my desktop, I have a kind of windows 3 setup: a startup menu (and some quick launches), the window bar, the notification area with time etc

I’m using MX Linux for maybe 8 years now with Xfce

updated screenshot:

Netflix in Canada has the 1080p remaster ones, pretty good!

I had a Samsung colour laser printer, they provided driver for linux, I installed them, everything works, full support for settings etc

In chrome it’s in parameters/downloads, that easy

on most new laptops, you cannot remove the battery that easily, you have to disassemble the back cover ☹️

Omg I forgot Corel Linux ! I installed it 25 years ago, wow!

Yes, I’m using QEMU though, no VMware or VirtualBox .

MX Linux (debian based) works perfectly on a usb drive

Btrfs may have compression on by default so take it with a grain of salt

docker I guess, I still don’t know how it works, create them, etc

Yup, on my Audiovox 8910, using a special USB cable and some obscure qualcom softwares, to access the “file system” and put a wav at the right place, and it had to be mono 8bits or something.

I didn’t want to pay $5 for a 10 seconds ringtones sample of a song. I did it myself :)

whatever ship with the distro when I want to open a terminal…

Always have. On /. 25 years ago we posted before reading TFA, it’s the way.
