Hello altogether, I´m using Lubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, 64 bit at the moment and I´m quite content with it. Yet it seems I´ll have to part with it next April as this version of the distro will be EOL then. I´m not quite sure whether I should stick to Lubuntu as they dropped LXDE in favour of LXQt, which …

I haven’t read thru all the comments but what I saw and searched hasn’t mentioned LMDE, Linux Mint Debian Edition. It’s a rolling release too. For my wife’s old Toshiba laptop and her new HP 2in1 I have updates and upgrades set to hit automatically, her preference. On my HP laptop I have them set fo…

Happy New Year to @berninghausen [image] berninghausen: Sorry to hear that you’re old and have old equipment As you have not read my post #82 your sorrow is entirely misplaced and misconceived – I choose to use HP-Trisquel over more modern and quantum leap Dell-ubuntu for obvious reasons - “…

Andy, it looks like my problem lies in the lap of the people who created the Trisquel ISO–they didn’t check with each individual user on the specifics of each individual computer. Shame on them. My first program was written in FORTRAN, on punch cards in 63 or 64. I believe that makes my entry int…

One old timer to another. [image] berninghausen: My first program was written in Cobol, also punched cards in 1969. :grin: Happy New Year! But early Linux use at just about 2.5 years.

[image] Andy2: ps. What species is your excellent macro Avatar? It’s one of our common cutworm caterpillars. They like to hide out buried in dirt or sod during the day and come out at night to nip tender plants off right at dirt level. Some varieties will also climb 8’+ to eat the tender tips…

[image] Mina: I’d rather say, the problem derives from the unwillingness of some manufacturers to provide open source drivers for their devices. If I recomember correctly, Trisquel is an ‘all free’ distro. They don’t include proprietary drivers which makes some hardware a bear to get working. …

Hi all and thanks for this great input of yours. :hearts: @Andy2 : Thank you very much for suggesting EndeavourOS and for the link you provided. I read the article from distrowatch through and it seems like a pretty good OS. Yet as far as desktops are concerned: Desktop: Budgie , Cinnamon , Deepi…
