Thank you!
Can you still install extensions in GNOME? I hate the defaults
Why?
Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them
It is not Linux per se lacking support. This is due to those that make apps/games. And, in fairness, to the fact that dev in Linux has been a bit of a mess in the last few years, with all the Wayland & o shananigans
Yeah but the current version is based on Bookworm. In other words a lot of drivers are included on it and it is really plug and play. I have I installed it on a 2012 Air and everything just worked out of the box
I have LDME on an 2012 Air and, oh boy, it is flawless. Works straight out of the box
You should have tried LMDE. That is the best way to get Debian and also ease of install
Perfect is the enemy of good. TrueNAS has been happy and running non stop for 6 months now
Huh actually yes, I have one with TrueNAS on and have created a couple of Zvol connected over USB. It is not like having a big server but it does the job while using little power
Any chromebox can be used for this. You can grab one for cheap from businesses that have decommissioned them
And then you have NomadBSD if you need an OS in a usb stick :)
Nice! I remember using an extension for that back in the day
Oh you mean for command line applications, yes, Flatpacks cannot do that yet. Personally I manually enable Snaps in the distros I use, as some apps only exist there, but have been orienting myself where I can limit the exposure to only the packages I want.
Isn’t that also the case for Flatpacks?
CentOS? You mean Stream?
