When you see what ONE coder was able to do in the 80s, with 64K of RAM, on a 4MHz CPU, and in assembly, it’s quite incredible. I miss my Amstrad CPC6128 and all its good games.

Already had huge X Terminal on HP mainframe, using X11R3 and mwm etc. xeyes, xload, xbiff, xterm, it was the time!
I guess it was in the 80s, open a new xterm, ps -edaf | grep vi, kill the process, then man vi to read how to exit properly.
This is how I learnt unix, do a ls in /bin /usr/bin /etc, man every command

Pretty excellent :)
MX, always based on latest Debian, is using sysVinit, but you can also boot with systemd if you want, it supports both. MX is pretty popular, simple, fast, Xfce by default, and very up to date on everything. I’m using it for 6 years now, on laptop, PC. Also maybe it’s me, but no flatpak, no snap, etc, not needed, for instance latest FF is a standard .deb
lol so true, however I have had a Samsung color laser wifi printer for 10+ years, worked flawlessly in linux. It was years before they got bought by HP
I buy hundreds of stuff on AE, but I’ll never buy something that plugs on AC, it’s all weak and not tested. You play with fire.
Do you have fastboot enabled in your BIOS? Because it can screw up FW not being uploaded/transferred in devices like network cards
I discovered winget (command in PowerShell) a couple of years ago, it’s pretty cool
Well, I have kernel 6.5.10, latest Firefox (in .deb) etc
Use MX Linux instead, it’s all the power of Debian with up to date everything.
I used it when it became super popular, I installed Mint/Cinnamon, after a few months I switched to MX Linux Xfce and using it for 5+ years now.
Mint is polished for new users, not power users.
or better, MX Linux !
I’m using Linux for almost 30 years and never use snap or flatpak. I install native apps with apt or pacman or whatever.
Reinstalling every 6 months to feel like new was Windows 95, 98, XP, etc
Don’t use plain Debian, use MX Linux to have full up to date everything
I Always save the bitlocker info on a usb drive, in case of… I had to type the 40 or so digits a couple of time!
