Anyone running Linux? What distro? * 1
    #28591588 - 12/20/23 04:18 PM (1 month, 7 days ago)

I'm not really that tech savvy, but a weird hobby of mine is trying different Linux distros on, tinkering with them, getting them customized to how I like, etc. I have a bunch of old laptops I like to use, its awesome to see how much better they can run with a properly set up Linux than they did with Windows.

Currently positing from an older Acer Chromebook I put Fedora KDE Plasma on, and it is running flawlessly.

Anyone else enjoy using Linux?

Not really. I've explained elsewhere on the forum a couple of times why. Mostly for reasons of productivity and usability. OS-es aren't my hobby; they're part of the infrastructure that just needs to work and be as transparent as possible.

I do run linux on one or two servers. It's fine for that, and saves me the cost of a Win license.





I sort of get it, besides being as transparent as possible. How can you possibly be more transparent that being open source?

For me, Linux has been great to keep old hardware alive.

I have distro hopped on my two old laptops a bunch over the past month, and keep coming back to Fedora. XFCE on my real old thinkpad, and KDE on my chromebook.

I've distro hopped a bunch lately on a pretty old Thinkpad and so far the fastest performing distro has been Fedora XFCE. It runs smoother than Debian with XFCE. Dnf is just much slower than apt but I can deal with that.
