I tried TuxedoOS which is worse than PopOS

I think it is UBUNTU based and I mounted it on Sinhala which is my current interest (SINHALA hand writing on my cellphone and Tablet).
It is simply transliteration and few glossary words.
The installation is on English
Uses Lukes file system.
I wanted it to be on ECT4..
It did not recognize my Partition Table and EFI and specially the SWAP partition.
Do not use it unkess you want to get trapped Lukes file system.
No different from Windows NTFS.

Old ACER Laptop with 9 Distributions

Yes, despite the figure of 8 virus and very small font size of the tablet display, I got 9 distributions  in 20 partitions. It was actually 19 partitions but I made it 20 by adding a new /home partition to make it a round number with 2 SWAP partitions to make good for low RAM of 4GB. 
Hard disk is 500GB non proprietary.
200GB was spent on 2 Debian Instances.
The old Laptop looks good.
In fact, as good as a new Laptop.
It is all due to excellent Software from Debian and GNOME of Forly version.
Only missing piece is Blender.

This time, all done during day time with an evening nap and lot of Ceylon Tea in between.
End Result.
Few mistakes.
One need a good night sleep and an evening nap at old age.
By the way, I discovered a new handwriting utility by Desh Keyboard.
The beauty is one get additional letters that are not accommodated in the basic version. Only downside was that instead of displaying the keyboard, a Text Selection Symbol hover round and tagged to the text. I had to restart the cellphone to get out of this annoying Text Selection Tool.
It is a Go To Loop, syndrome in CODING.
