thats strange, my boot menu has 2 kernel selections for pop os, the current one and one that is the previous running kernel. if a pop os update breaks my system i can just boot from the other kernel image. which has only happened once in 5 years. but was able to wait for pop to push fixes etc and then dist upgrade.
since you dont seem to have that option, you may need to boot from live usb and investigate further.
when you try to boot into it what happens?
pop os
ive not experienced that in the almost 10 years of using it on multiple debian based distros
qbittorrent
“same thing we do everyday, pinky. try and take over the world!”
crunchbang is awesome, never did the bunsen labs, but i do have a live crunchbang plus plus usb for recovery and lightweight live distro. i think its debian 12 with openbox.
loved slackware with openbox on my netbook back in the days. running pop os and i3wm now, i prefer it over openbox or fluxbox now. it is my daily driver work horse, stable and low on resources. easy to configure.
who is they? and why are you being offered it? who is it through, your school, employer, random person whats apping you? do you find it necessary for your direction?
woah blast from the past
ctrl + z
ive used many de’s and wm’s over the last 15+ years and ended using gnome the most. most familiar with it now so, its fine for me.
embedded linux! im too dumb to understand most of this but, im glad there are people out there with the brains and willpower to create projects like this. its not only like novelty value, but can really show potential future use cases for how we can make use of obsolete hardware etc. creative thinking is crucial in times like these, where mainstream is stripping away the value of art and creation. cool project!
do you load it via cartridge?!!?
this is a good solution
There are many linux distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Arch, Fedora etc, etc. and they usually come with a Default Desktop Environment Cinnamon, KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc. etc. This is generally how the UI looks and functions. Menus, Window styles, buttons, and general overall visual theming. There are many ways to make the linux desktop environment better looking and functioning than macOS. Mac doesnt even have the ability to auto snap and resize the window to the edge of the screen until recently. And even then it decent at best. So beyond being able to fully customize the look of the desktop environment by using different ones with themes options, you can choose a DE that has better customization for user interaction that suites YOUR needs. Ofc Apple has a whole ecosystem of products that and a cloud that syncs your stuff across, but that comes at the cost of near zero customization ability…But whatever floats your boat. check out unixporn community, there are some really nice setups over there to give an idea of what is possible.
party rock is in the house tonight
im asian, i like rice. i like linux. im not offended.
nice list of resources, although way over my head as i am not a developer, nor do i plan to become one. but i do like learning stuff, and agree that modern google for finding relevant VALUABLE information is seriously lacking and annoying. i will be bookmarking nostarch for sure.
yeah i was just thinking this the other day. i have alot of packages on my linux boot. i run mysql,postgres all kinds of stuff, many python versions, still fast as the first day i installed it. windows on the other hand starts bogging down fast. i keep my windows boot withonly the bare minimum of things and turn off almost everything from the start up, woth the hopes of keeping it useable.
