Reborn OS-Thank YOU

Finally I got Blender installed in Reborn OS.

 After some lapse I installed Reborn OS on my NUC.

This time no problem with GRUB file and it did recognize all the other distributions, already installed.

I had to reinstall Reborn OS three times since it filled up the /var partition of 8.6GB when I installed additional applications which included 10 different browsers in addition to Firefox, my favorite. 

I reduced the size of  /home partition and added 2GB for /var. 

That would fix my problems.

It finished installation, in double quick time.

It has STACER my favor utility which Debian 13 does not support.

But the Debian has System Monitor which is pretty good but Stacer with more graphic features I am hooked to.

I installed Gnome desktop but added the bonus of Plasma desktop.

One has to select one desktop at install time.

Reborn OS supports almost all the browsers.

Apart from Firefox my favorite, I have;

1. Librewolf

2. Falkon

3. Opera

4. Vivaldi

5. Konqueror

6. Brave

7. Dillo

8. Gnome browser or Epiphany

9. Anglerfish 

10. Google Chrome browser which I never use

11. Tor Browser 

I have no paranoia and I do not use it.

12. Safari of Apple 

13. Internet Explorer of Microsoft and Edge

That was (IE)  the first browser I ditched to go fully for Mozilla browser in it's early stages of development. Firefox was the standard for Linux Distributions and me being a Linux Guy stuck to Firefox for life. With Linux one need not fiddle with the Firefox configuration. In any case it is the strip down version of Firefox with no unnecessary cookies. 

That is the beauty of Linux and that is why it is fast. 

I used to use the history file when I was bit paranoid, having ditched Microsoft for it's snoopy behavior.

That was the first irritation of Microsoft which I detected very early in my web life.

Facebook of course I ditched in six months.

Now a few words about Linux Catchy OS. 

It is a strip down version of Arch with only the essentials tools available and it is absolutely fast.

It has developed its own browser. 

One has to have a good understanding of Linux to use it as a daily driver.

I prefer Reborn OS which is more desktop oriented distribution. 

One has to choose one desktop at installation. 

I use Gnome and add Plasma desktop, later. 

It supports Cosmic, MATE and many more desktops one can add later.

Reborn OS

Reborn OS is pretty Good.

I tried Cosmic desktop on Reborn OS and it works fine.

I have used only 35GB of my NUC for all it's partitions and my advice for a newbie is to use at least 50GB.

It has many good features. 

I am currently Installing Reborn Os on top of CarchyOS which is also based on ARCH but minimal. 

This is the penultimate stage of testing ARCH based distributions which were all based on KDE (Endeavour OS, BlueStar Linux OS which I have already installed in my System) but with Reborn OS I can choose Gnome desktop when installin.

I hate KDE except Plasma, because I am a Debian Guy using Gnome. 

I decided, I would promote only Gnome Desktop, in future due to many reasons. 

On second thought, I am promoting both KDE Plasma and Gnome.

Then, only one can see the difference.

Gnome of Debian is my workhorse.

Its installation is fast. 

Graphical instructions are intuitive and I had the choice of selecting Abiword, OpenOffice, LibreOffice and there was another word processor which I do not know anything about. 

Well, I went for my favourite AbiWord. 

One can install it either offline or online. Online takes a little longer and one can chose one out of about 10 desktops at install. 

I prefer online install. 

By the way, little while ago I installed Gnome minus LibreOffice.  

Firefox and LibreOffice have to support many languages by default.

It saved 2GB and the Grand Total was just over 7GB for the basic install. 

It had all the utilities I needed in a basic install and it went up to 8GB on full install and I have 11GB left, in my root partition of 19GB, for any additional packages I might Install.

RebornOS is a desktop oriented Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. 

Although the RebornOS live image provides Xfce desktop, the installation process offers a choice to install one of the many popular desktop environments and window managers. 

Other interesting features of the distribution includes the support for Flatpak packages, optional installation of Anbox for running Android applications

It has the capability to rollback the system to a previous date, and graphical system configuration and maintenance tools.
