If you can remember ffmpeg, nmap and openssl syntax from core memory, then you've already mastered the art of the CLI! 💻

I would do anything just to sniff Debian's underwear.

hello linux side of tumblr! i have an old laptop that i want to install linux on. this is a fujitsu lifebook t4210, an old 32 bit tablet laptop. im looking for recommendations on what distro to use!

i use arch on my main laptop and ive grown quite fond of it. i would have to use arch 32 which kinda sucks so idk if arch is a good option here

i have already tried debian but i dont think i liked it. tho maybe i just dont like kde. shoukd i try some other desktop environment?

What Linux distribution should I pick? (More details under the readme)

When I was in high school I was super deep in the trenches and was constantly distributed hopping (even went so far as to install Arch one summer). Eventually though I switched to a Chromebook and then a MacBook, so it’s been maybe 8 years since my primary machine ran Linux. I would still call myself an advanced user though (ie. I use a terminal frequently) but my long break means that I’m behind the times on what the good distros are.

Reading up on the current state of things it seems like corporations have broken everything (surprise surprise) so ideally something that isn’t attached to a corporation in some way (like Fedora and OpenSUSE are)? I would like to dual boot Windows just so I have the extra software compatibility though.

It seems like Arch Linux and Debian are the front runners for my use case? I like the customizability of both of them, although Debian seems possibly too stuffy (I don’t need that much stability) and Arch seems possibly too fussy (I need some stability). But that’s mostly being colored by how I remember them being eight years ago, so I don’t know if I’m off base or not.

Linux girlies help me out 🙏

Infighting is either why open source is so good or bad

For example

@x11-official mad because @wayland-official is trying to do better

@kde-official rightly thinks their interface is better than @gnome-de-official

@arch-officual and @debian-official are... the two main basies of all other distros

Anyways, I don't know how to put 3 polls in one post, so just fight in the reblogs.
