My Debian Resolve is innovative

Instead of 2 instances of Debian one of Trixie and one of Forky, I have decided to have 4 instances of Debian.

Instsllation stsrted at 12PM.
Finished at 13.22PM
1. DEBIAN Trixie GNOME only.
It has /root, /var, /home and /tmp.
/tmp is the most important and I believe every time I reboot junk files are flushed away. No need for Sweeper or Bleach Beat

SWAP 8GB shared by all distributions.

1375 files and it takes 7GB of Disk Space.
The lightest.
It is even lighter than MX Linux Moksha.

Started at 13.25PM.
Finished at 15.10PM.
2. DEBIAN Trixie All Drsktos.
3003 files and it takes GB space of

3. DEBIAN Forky
Started at 13.24PM.
Finished at 15,PM.
17.2GB space of hard disk.

Full Install with Lumiri and Posh cellphone utilities.
It takes 16GB hard disk space.

4. DEBIAN Forky Net INSTALL 
Started at 17.20PM.
Finshed at 17.55PM.
Takes, 15GB of Hard Disk space.
8.8GB is left for other software I may need.
Browesr is Firsfox.
Part of this time is used to configite the system.
By having a Net INSTALL one gets the Latest software approved by Debian Installed.


I am going to add all the ARCH distributions I love until the 320GB Toshiba Hard Disk is full.
CachyOS is my favourite 
BlueStar Linux
Endeavour Linux 



MX Linux Moksha 
Ultimate ARCH Gamer 
STORM Linux
Modiccia Linux 

May be considered
ELive Linux

Excluded by default 
Emmabantus 
MX Linux 
Commodore Linux it takes 50GB and my limit is 40GB and around.

This might take the whole day but I am in holiday mood.

Another Dead Rope by AI

 I asked was there a Redhat (should have asked Fedora based) distribution called Linpus?

It said NO.

This was one of the first bootable Linux after Lindows, I have used.

In fact it was the Linux CD I booted in the airport lounge as a test of my ACER Laptop.

I am Installing it on my NUC.

Without any Warning moment I gave the root and user password it started installing it on my NUC.

It booted OK and no WiFi and asking for Ethernet Connection.

If I was in Ceylon I would have used it to remind my pastand how I installed applications on BIG PC.

I am going to install Chakra Linux now on my NUC. Kernel panic and may be 32 bit only.

It would only fedtoy my 5 working books but I have copies of them in USB stick. If I ERASE the USB stick it is match over for me.

I got the laptop updated and it is time to UPDATE my NUC. I even got Chakra Linux

I now gather ACER used Linpus in their hardware.

But Knoppix  was my heart throb of Linux bootable USB.

Refresh OS done a Bad Job

This is the problem with KDE Guys.
This is the very reason I had been very vocal and against KDE for a long time including PCLinux.
Do not take me wrong, I started Linux with a KDE Desktopay 30 years ago. 
Then, I slowly migrated to MEPIS Linux and finally to Debian.
My migration to AntiX and MX Linux is late.
I have KDE Desktop of BlueStar Linux which I call the most beautiful KDE Desktop packed with all the utilities except Blender. One can install Blender later using Octapi which is my favourite package manager.

I have Endeavour OS installed on my old laptop which is a fantastic KDE Desktop. 
It prefers to stay on its own and have problems running parallel with even CachyOS.
I reinstalled both of them within last 24 hours. BlueStar Linux packed with utilities need at least 40GB for it to UPDATE.
The updates really means Reinstall.

I am a GNOME guy and HATE XFCE.

They try to emulate Microsoft Windows and some fail miserably.
Refresh OS is a Classic Example.
It fails both in its Full and Safe mode.
These guys tinker the Front End without knowing the Back End or underlying Linux base an fail.

This is what should be done by one who is skilled in achieving his own good of peace and tranquillity.

He should be efficient and competent (sakko),

Honest and upright (udu cha su ju cha)

Pleasant and polite in speech (Suvacco)

(Suvacco does not mean obedient)

Gentle in demeanor

Gentle composure -mudu

He should be modest and not arrogant                      (anatimani)

He should be content and satisfied (santussako)

And be easily supportable (subarro)

He should not be over involved (appa kikko)

Simple and light in his life style (sallahukavutti)

He should keep his sense faculties calmed and tranquilled (santindrio)

He should be wise (nipako) but not too bold and daring (appagabbo)not arrogant

He should not be attached to households (kulesuananugiddo)

He should never resort to doing anything so mean    (na cha kudham samachare) whereby the rest of the wise world would reproach him (yene vinnu pare upavedeyyuum)

May all beings enjoy happiness and comfort             (sabbe satta bhavantu skitatta)

May they feel safe and secure (sukino va khemino hontu)

Then meditate,

May all be happy and secure.

May all beings become happy in their heart of hearts.

And think of every living thing without exception.

The weak and the strong, from the smallest to the largest,

Whether you can see them or not,

Living nearby or far away,

Beings living now or yet to born,

May all beings become happy in their heart of hearts.

May no one deceive or look down on anyone

Anywhere,

For any reason.

Whether through feeling angry or through reacting to someone else,

May no one want another to suffer.

As strongly as a mother, perhaps risking her life, cherishes her child, her only child, develop an unlimited heart for all beings.

Develop an unlimited heart of friendliness for the entire universe, sending Metta above below and all around, beyond all narrowness, beyond all rivalry, beyond all hatred.

Whether you are staying in one place                or travelling, sitting down or in bed, in all your waking hours rest in this mindfulness, which is known as like living in heaven right here and now.

In this way, you will come to let go of views

Be spontaneously ethical and

Have Perfect Insight.

And leaving behind craving for sense pleasures, from the rounds of rebirth you will finally be completely free!

EasyOS=Puppy Linux done a Good Job

EasyOS, the only PUPPY LINUX has done a good job with the new release. It is available at LinuxTracker as a torrent file.
It id only 2GB.
My only worry is No AbiWord but has the latest LibreOffice. It configures WiFi effortlessly unlike Prism Linux.
I do not travel to Singspore now and I do not have to carry in my pocket.
If you do shopping in Singapore, I advice you to carry it and Test the Device you buy.
Do not buy a BIOS infected ACER laptop like what I boight in 2018.

Chakra

 Reproduction from Wikipedia

Chakra (officially Chakra GNU/Linux) was a Linux distribution originally based on Arch Linux and focused on KDE software, intending to provide a KDE/Qt minimizing use of other widget toolkits where possible. It was well received by critics during its existence.[2][3]

History

In June 2006 a group of Arch Linux users initiated the KDEmod packaging project to improve and simplify a standard KDE installation with Arch Linux. In December 2008 the group released their first custom made ISO with a preconfigured Arch + KDEmod + Tribe.[4] After several releases lead developer Jan Mette suggested to split from Arch to allow for a much closer integration with KDE software.

On August 30, 2010, the first independent version, called Chakra 0.2, was released.[5] This ended the development on KDEmod and the project was renamed to "The Chakra Project".[6]

On December 27, 2021, the lead developer of Chakra announced the discontinuation of the project including accounts and services, citing a lack of project activity since November 2019.[7]

On 11 April 2022, the board of Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI), who owned the trademark of Chakra, voted unanimously on the removal of Chakra as an associated project of the SPI, based on the request from Chakra.[8][9]

Features

Chakra included both free and proprietary software, though the latter had the ability to be disabled during installation. It was only available for the x86_64 architecture, with support for i686 having been dropped in August 2012.[10] It is based on KDE Software Compilation.

Chakra did not schedule releases for specific dates but used a "Half-Rolling release" system. This meant that the core packages of Chakra (graphics, audio, etc.) were frozen and only updated to fix security vulnerabilities. The aforementioned packages were updated after the latest versions were thoroughly tested before being moved to the stable repositories (about every six months). This allowed Chakra to ensure stability for the rest of the software included. Other applications such as web browsers, office suites, etc. were updated following the rolling release model and were generally available immediately after their release

Linpus Linux

 Reproduction from Wikipedia

Linpus Linux was a Fedora Linux-based operating system created by the Taiwanese firm Linpus Technologies Inc[1] Linpus was designed specifically to fully support the Asian market, with full Unicode support for the Chinese and Japanese languages. A special version, Linpus Lite, was written to run on devices with lower-cost hardware such as netbooks. It has both an icon and tab-based "Simple mode", designed for new users; and, a conventional style "PC mode" for those wanting a more Microsoft Windows–like interface. It is targeted at handheld devices with smaller screens, and supports resolutions as low as VGA (640 × 480).[2]

The Acer Aspire One and Norhtec Gecko[3] netbooks come with Linpus Lite Linux pre-installed, there is also a version of the Acer Revo 3610 and 3700 with Linpus Linux pre-installed.

A version for normal desktop computers and servers is also available, as well as a Multimedia version called Linpus Media Center. The Media Center version offers an "Upgrade pack" to purchase patent licenses from MPEG-LA for DVD, MP3, WMV and a few other codecs.

Nagware

The Linpus system contains not only the free and open source operating system, but also Acer-specific "shareware" – users classify this as "nagware," because it asks you to register on Acer's website and purchase a full version.[citation needed] The fact that the Acer distribution contains this software prevents the system from being considered a fully free, open operating system

Darryl Anka and Meditation

 Darryl Anka and Meditation

 

Darryl Anka says he saw an aliens craft of triangular shape in, 1973. Later, he became a channeller through Bashar in around 2014. 

I had some interest in Ceylonese who were involved in Medium and Channelers andChantersinCeylonwho made a fast buck, in a particular time.

I accidentally read a book on Edgar Cacye (1877–1945). He was an American clairvoyant and faith healer known as the "Sleeping Prophet". While in a trance state, he provided more than 14,000 readings diagnosing illnesses, discussing past lives and making prophecies about the future.

He founded the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) and his work influenced the New Age movement. Cayce's abilities included psychic readings to identify and recommend treatments for a wide range of ailments. He discussed concepts like past lives and reincarnation, which are central to the New Age movement. Cayce also made numerous prophecies concerning future events, including the rediscovery of Atlantis and the outbreak of World War II. He would fall into a sleep like trance to give readings, a state that earned him the nickname "Sleeping Prophet".              

In 1931, Cayce and his supporters reorganised, as the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) to continue and support his work.                 

The organisation is still active, offering resources for spiritual development, wellness and continuing education. Cayce is considered a foundational figure and a principal source for many characteristic beliefs of the New Age movement.

Bashar is a channeled extraterrestrial entity from the future and Darryl Anka is the channeler who has conveyed Bashar's messages since 1983.         

Bashar offers teachings on the nature of reality, personal empowerment and spiritual evolution,      which Anka delivers through trance channeling.         

The teachings cover topics like the Law of Attraction and the idea that consciousness shapes our reality.Darryl Anka enters a trance state to channel Bashar,    an interdimensional being from a parallel, future reality. Bashar's messages provide guidance on personal growth, manifestation, and understanding of the universe.

A core concept is that reality is a reflection of our consciousness, beliefs and internal states.

A fundamental principle is to follow an individuals "highest excitement," which is the thing that brings the joy or fulfilment and the future path.       

Anka has been channeling Bashar for over 30 years and has published books, created films, and produced audio-visual materials on the topic. The discussions span a wide range of subjects including metaphysics, human psychology, planetary evolution and the nature of extraterrestrial.

I have no problem with all these which he is entitled to as a free human being. What I object to is that he is distorting Dhamma in subtle way.I even, think he is a guy who is posited by the Church to do this unhindered.

His five laws a mixture of physics and his own convoluted vocabulary.He is born with verbal diarrhoea and significant mastery in English. This talent he uses to pose him has an intellectual giant but the ulterior motive is to confuse the listener.              

 Having listened to him I have not gained any scientific substance.

In fact, it is science mixed with total fiction.

Five Laws

Reality of human existence

1.  You Exist and nothing we can to about it.

Buddhist goal is to stop this recreant life of existence in the Cycle of Rebirth or Sansara.

We Buddhists have an objective or goal.

2.  Here and Now

This is the essence and fundamental concept in the Dhamma teaching.

Reality is that we exist in this present moment of many phenomena.

3. Everything is all and one

This is his confusion strategy.

Of course, Indian teachers try to elevate this concept to a new level. That is union with single Great Soul at the moment of death.

It does not matter that other things exist in this world independent of this so called Great Soul or Self.

The underlying attempt is to fundamentally distort of our social fabric and bind an individual to a non existing substance calledSelf.

In Dhamma the concept of Self is a great illusion that drives the inevitable Sansara.

Other things do continue to exist whether we like it or not in their own domain. There is subtle but relative freedom, which each individual can enjoy merrily. This freedom itself drives us to become firmly bound to the Concept of Self

That bondage expands into things around us both physical and biological.    The bondage that we have to our loved ones is natural and intimate.

This infectious bondage cannot be disregarded.

Human are social and political animals we cannot change it.

That is our biological nature.

4.  Action and action and reaction the law of physics is put in here.

There is subtle distortion of Kamma and Vipaka, here.

The cause and effect is the natural driving force.

5. Everything Changes

This is my “Uncertainty Principle” on which the Dhamma really is based on.

Thank God he stops at five.

He used the terms  like frequency and vibration to  to confuse the ordinary guys and girls without the understanding of physics at subtle level. He is putting the entire energy spectrum to his five equations.

He is using frame rate of visual phenomena into somewhat of a spiritual framework.

Let me dish out the Spectrum of Energy in which we see only the rainbow colours.

In computer technology there there are over million colour shades and the computer monitor filters  about 16 to 24 colours distinctly, for us to see. Computers can use all the analog signals and they only dish out the visual spectrum for us to see about 35 frames per second, for our convenience. The rest is dissipated as heat energy. Animals like snakes can see more of the content of the spectrum which is valuable in their survival. The problem is we put man at the center of the universe with minimal physical but with powerful mental capabilities.

I am open to the condition, that beings can exist in a wider spectrum and we call them in Buddhist or Hindu thinking  as Gods. There nothing extraordinary of those beings with the spectrum expanding to animals, demons and perhaps many more that we cannot grasp.

This guy in my reality is guy of many words without any meaning. Equally, he speaks fast and the listener cannot grasp what he  projects very very fast.  It is much less clearer to the listener, including me.

Indian Rishis do the same rigmaroles in arcane language.

He is crook that uses aliens as his vehicle.

He is using Vedanta Channelling strategy.

He is distorting even Hinduism indirectly by his insinuation.

He is crook who created this Alternative Reality and Alien Super Highway for his business model.

He is a film producer and may have created alien films for the CIA.

I was caught in this alien SAGA but ended up writing a book of satire filled book called               “Alien SAGA”.

It is available at Amazon Books.

My current work on meditation.

I use this guy as  the current model not as a role model but as a shady or  a real dark model.

By the way, he is very sweet guy in his external disposition which priests in all types use to hoodwink the gullible citizens.

The YouTube and the Cellphonehas given them a big platform.

YouTube is a Money Spinner.

He is always taking about creation without mentioning God. He projects the God to Bashar so that Christianity is not uprooted in a full sweep. There is no problem with that and he is entitled to believe in  his God.

But, I do not like him distorting Dhamma and the basics of Buddhism in a subtle way.

He is like a CIA guy used by the Church.

In his own verbal diarrhoea he project words in Buddhism.

Enlightenment

Reality

Emancipation

This Moment

But he avoids Kamma by default.

Expansion and Contraction of physics.

He is pushing outPassion but in Buddhism,     we try to mitigate Passion and Greed.

He does deliberately avoid pain or suffering or the uncertainty principle of Dhamma.

He is indirectly sayingGod is the alternative reality and the God is permanent at least in the case of Bashar, his alien God.

I attacked him directly when he took Dhamma Principles out of context and put two of his Godly Concepts, in the midst.

I told him directly that he is entitled to his verbal diarrhoea  or distortion but do not distort Dhamma.

He disappeared into wilderness and Google AI is bringing him back to life.

Any guy Western or Indian gets the wrath of my onslaught, if they attack Dhamma, in a subtle way.

I have no subtle insinuation but direct approach.

This alien SAGA is CIA creation and he was the vehicle at a particular time.

Steven Greer came later.

The Discourse On Loving Kindness

 

The Discourse On Loving Kindness

He who is skilled in doing good

And who wishes to attain that state of calm (Nibbana)

Should act thus

He should be able, upright, perfectly upright

Obedient, gentle and humble

Contented, easily supportable

With few duties,

Simple in livelihood

Controlled in senses, discreet, not impudent

Not greedily attached to families

He should not commit any slight wrong

So that other wise men might deplore

May all beings be happy and safe

May their hearts be happy

Whatsoever living beings that exist

Weak, or strong, without exception

Long, stout or medium

Short, small or large

Those seen or unseen

And those dwelling far or near

Those who are born and those who are to be born

May all beings, without exception, be happy minded

Let no one deceive another

Nor despise anyone anywhere

In anger or ill will

Let them not wish each other harm

Just as a mother would guard her only child

At the risk of her own life

Even so towards all beings

Let him cultivate boundless mind

Let thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world

Above, below and across

Without any obstruction

Without any hatred, without any enmity

Whether he stands, walks, sits

Or lies down, as long as he is awake

He should develop this mindfulness

This they say is the Highest conduct here

Not falling into wrong views

Virtuous and endowed with vision with insight

He discards attachment to sensuous desires

Truly, he does not come again,

To be conceived in a womb

By the firm determination of this truth

May I ever be well

By the firm determination of this truth

May I be free from illness

By the firm determination of this truth

May peaceful victory be mine!

My Final NOTE on BIOS Virus

 My Final NOTE on BIOS Virus 

First Let me say Thank You to Debian.

I ran two full days and the Bios Virus ridden ACER Laptop manufactured in 2017 which I bought in 2018, and now only 8 years old, did not get heated up even though, it was fully charged and was running non stop.

This is the Beauty of Linux Software consuming very little throughput.

Do not mess up with the minute and a half (90 seconds) of fsck or hardware Check Up at boot time.
 
Not only the boot script checks the devices in built but also the currently attached devices and reports a running commentary.

Read all the lines line by line.

The name of the Virus 00012201.

I asked AI and it says there is no Virus named by the above number which is a lie.

It is EEPROM Hard Ware Virus.

Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.

It is a firmware Virus not detected at the time of the manufacture.

The problem is that the BIOS is unable to handover to the Operating System
 
I think the Vendor in Singapore had opted to block the USB Booting and installed Windows using the DVD ROM. 
 
This was the time when set of CDs or DVDs were used for booting an OP.

I did not know this Virus existed before buying. It was cheap.

It was 35 US dollars or 50 Singapore dollars.

They tried to sell it for 100 Singapore Dollars but I offered half their claim

The Manager refused. 
Few hours before flying back to CEYLON, I went again and said I am leaving today and this is the last 50 dollars I have. 
After some deliberations they agreed without the carrier bag. I said I would give, 5 dollars for the bag and the deal was closed.
I treasure the bag more than the Laptop. Thr carrier bag was dorf of a status simble.

Those days no travel restrictions on hand luggage. One who carries Laptop was considered a professional even in Singapore. I bought a few DVDs named Linpus Linux based on Redhat Linux, created in Taiwan.
I tested them Live while waiting in the lounge, until the formal boarding was announced.
No USB booting those days. 
I used to carry Puppy Linux USBs but did not have any in my hand. 
After discovering this BIOS Virus, I used carry at least 2 Bootable USBs.

From Yesterday, I consider Debian Network Boot USB.

This is not at Mustafa. They do not sell faulty stuff those days. 
It was Rs. 7,800 or 150 US dollars a return ticket. I used to go there over weekend to buy Barbie dolls.

Coming back to the Topic;
This Virus cannot be ERASED by software.

No solution available except bypassing the BIOS using EFI. 
I did not know about the EFI.
I booted a Live BSD CD and Network Booted to BSD  home site. 
They solved the problem by installing BSD with an EFI partition.
I was REBORN.
Now we used Ethernet and it was fabulously fast unlike the WiFi of today.

This Virus insertd itself to even the Terminal. It is very NASTY.

So, the Laptop now has 10 operating systems. One for every 50GB of Hardware.
No CODING would be done on this compiter due to the BIOS Virus.
I would play games and videos.

Only ARCH Ultimate Gamer is there.
Italian Modiccia could not be installed.
GARUDA I HATE.

Commodore 3.1 can be installed but it is very Ugly with its Video Drivers. If in a later version if it adds better drivers, I may consider using it.

After all this is an old Laptop.

The bottom line is even somebody offers you a old Laptop FREE refuse it flatly.

I desperately want to go back to my WiFi keyboard which I can use from my BED with a very large Monitor.
I HATE touch screens which is unnatural.









Thank YOU STORM OS

Thank You STORM OS for two things.
It is a Light Weight Arched based distribution.
I have a copy installed in my NUC.
It has extensive instructions in text at each stage of the installation.
This is something ELive Linux should emulate. Instead giving only vocal commands with unintelligible English, it should post written instructions.
It taught me how to configure mirrors and then after installation to UPDATE.
Today, was a different story.
I installed Endevour OS after long time.
But it would not mount after installation of CachyOS as a parallel system.
Since, it was not booting I decided to install STORM on top of it. It was in a small partition of 25GB.
I usually, format the partition before new installation and won't let the distribution to do it. That was a fortunate oversight.
STORM OS wanted me to reformat the EFI which I could not with 9 other distributions already in the Laptop.
Instead, I flagged it with boot and make an entry as /boot/efi. That option was not available without clicking format option.
This figure of 8 boot virus happily insert itself at any available space.
It even gets itself in front of the MB or GB allocation. With my poor eyesight I may have missed a single digit of 8 in the /root allocation. This is the reason STORM OS may have failed to install. INSTALLER script may have seen the endless loop of no time limit and would have inserted the usual 1 minute 30 second routine scan of my system at boot time.
In fact, reverting back default.
Presto!
Endeavour OS booting OK.
I rebooted Endeavour 3 times for the Boot Loader to register the time sequence.
What a coincidence?
This has never happened before.
I was lucky.


Endeavour OS Installation

I am not sure why I neglected Endaevour OS and was mad enough to get messed up with Prism Linux.
In a way, I have Prism OS like Microsoft in the past got me charged up.
With 500GB space in the hard disk getting 10 distributions as is in my NUC was the Target.
REBORN OS did not configure the Keyboard.
Modiccia USB did not boot.
STORM OS with basic approach, I was hesitant. I learned how to UPDATE mirrors throughout STORM OS.
Endeavour KDE is very Beautiful and only BlueStar Linuix rivals it.
It may be I could not install AbiWord using Endaevour OS. I now HATE using terminal under such a beautiful Desktop.
It finshed installing in 23 minutes which is very impressive.
It now gives the option of using GNOME.
By the way, I was new to ARCH Linux and REBORN OS was the easiest to install and update and rarely any use of terminal

Thank You boys and girls of the Developer Team. It looks like the most impressive ARCH.
If I remember right it took over my NUV and would not let me install other distributions.
6.29AM and it is booting fine.
I am going to sleep now.
Well it did mess up with the GRUB.
It does not boot after CachyOS was installed.
I am erasing the partition by installing STORM OS. ARCH based and light weight.
I have copy in my NUC.
Did nor recognize already existing EFI.
It wanted to be formatted fresh which I did not. Desktop is XFCE and I could not find Iso image of the KDE.
I hope it would preserve existing GRUB.
Wanted to test ACER Laptop could handle it. Says Installation failed.
But it did something I NEVER expected.
Storm OS corrected the boot entry fir Endaevour OS.
THANK You very much.

Debian Network Install

I am proven WRONG om many issues.
That Network Instsl image is inferior to GNOME Image or DVD1.
Web guys are giving Dead Ropes to gullible nrebies.
I am referring to the under 1GB image.
Kernel O use
7-0.10- 14+
Installation is no different to GNOME Live of DVD1
It has 2
1380 odd files where as the DBD1 has, 3380 odd file.
I chossr GNOME and Web Server and SHH Server.

Currently installing to the last partotion of the Laptop.
If any problems ERASE it totally

Unlikr CachyOS OS no window managers and Hypland.


I am Revisting ELive INSTALLATION on the old ACER Laptop

I installed this using a SD card mounted on USB Mount. I do not want to use 32 or 64 USB sticks. There are no 4 or 8GB sticks in Australia. I left all my USB sticks except 10 I shoved into my handbag.

Elive deliberately got the GRUB Boot Loader Wrong when installing but I know the workaround. These facts would be recorded in my book with grammar and Typo correction.

Cut and Paste is dangerous.

I know these guys for a long time from 32 bit time. During Installation they give DEAD ROPES that include Erasing the hatd disk with 0 and 1. 
I say no to all their dead ropes and do what I want to do. 
I gave my Google Email knowing very well, I had signed up with my original or the first Yahoo Mail long before Gmail.

I love its colouful Terminal.

It is SLOW compared ARCH and AV Linux Moksha Desktop but I prefer the easy pace im my old age with visual handicap especially colour blindness.

While it is testing my patience and visual handicap but my hearing is Excellent and I love music and use this distribution to listen to music. When I installed it in my NUC an year ago I listened to their old music with poor quality video (they did not have proper drivers for thr Integrated Graphic Card.

I was into Linux long before this distribution came into existence.
Nevertheless, these guys have done a Wonderful and Beautiful job.

Reaso for Install is to check with Bodhi Linux and AV Linux Moksha Desktop whicj is AntiX and MX Linux derivative.
Lat timeit took 2 and half hours and this time it is faster but I did not time it.

Thank You Elive Linux giys and girls and I am going to add a very favorable account in my book Linux Essentials.

By the way , Google AI is very helpful.

I  going to Network Install Debian on this Laptop soon.
My last Network Install was with TrueOS and BSD using CD in 2018 and I left all those CD and DVDs in CEYLON.
My Linux activities and Facebook activities would go on till POSON POYA or Full Moon Day. I won't go to moon even if they give me a FREE Ride.
 By the way, according to Elive Clock it is more than 50 minutes and still installing.


Tried Multboot Bodhi Linux on Laptop but Failed

I tried to  multiboot Bhodhi Linux parallel with other distributions but failed. Then I tried Prism Linux ruined everything and I did not have Bootable Hard Disk.
Bodhi Linux is UBUNTU based and it has the beautiful Moksha desktop.
On first mount I prepared the Hard Disk with EFI, 20GB /root and 1GB boot and the figure of 8 still botheringme I gave SWAP partition 8888MB twicethe 4G RAM.
After initial WiFi configuration INSTALL fonished in less than 10 minutes but UPDATES as usual took a long time.
I have decided to ditch MX Linux based AV Linux Moksha.
For the 4th time it failed to boot after installation.
It violated EFI size by half.
Allocated 512 instead of 1GB required.
Boot  file was only 1MB.
Only 2 partitions
ESP
EXT4 the entire hard disk.
No SWAP a fundamental Linux Mistake.
I could not rezise the /root partition using Gparted while still remaining with the Live Session.
Nobody can I did not give enough opportunity.
Next is Installing Debian.
I have to go back to FULL install of DEBIAN Testing needing 32GB.
Debian is happy with 4GB SWAP.
DEBIAN takes 3338MB for the system.


I would  be giving up watching real UBUNTU SAGA unfolding from a sideline.
Good Bye to Bodhi Linux and UBUNTU.

I Took Big Risk With Prism Linux

With the Figure of 8 Virus constantly bothering my Old ACER Laptop doing a completly Graphical Installation with ARCH based Prism Linux was considered a prerequisite before finishing my book on "Linux Essentials".
Apart from Elevating Debian to dizzy heights, it has lot of practical stuff embedded including few of my technical mistake.
Testing Prism OS is not a mistake.
It is not good even for Tablet front.
It cannot log out.
It has no WiFi.
No WiFi means no UPDATES.
It has no software Repository.
It is a bear minimal lxQt Desktop.
That is the sunmary.
Glossy looks are deceptive as with Windows.

It was a real big risk not knowing what drivers it would use for graphics. 

I tried 8 other distributions on this laptop only two failed.

REBORN OS got the keyboard configuration wrong.

Italian Modicia won't mount the USB, most likely it is a DVD image.

Commodore Linux 3.1 has lot of music but is the Ugliest MATE Desktop.
 
Except Prism Linux all distributions including REBORN OS are installed in my NUC while the Laptop was in the attics all these time, metaphorically speaking due to no USB Booting and Figure of 8 virus compounding even typing an email address.

4 attempts at manual installation failed.

An earlier attempt RUINED the GRUB and the Hard Disk. 
This time, too.

I have never given automatic INSTALL command all my life.
I gave automatic INSTALL instruction, just for fun a few minutes ago.

It says 95% OK and stuck there in and ENDLESS Loop.

It finished the installation and the KDE cannot configure the WiFi.

I am going to try GNOME before giving up
If I cannot get WiFi link and automatic updates, I going to give up using it.

I was about to say this was good for costomers feeling the Microsoft Nose Punch.
Wait few minutes, will You.
I do not recommend it.

By the way, I cannot access the Terminal.
Not with some keyboard tricks but with some mouse clicks, I got to the Terminal.

7-0-11-lxqt kernel in progress.
It is 752MB download size.
Instal sixe 2256MB.

I can read the Terminal entry but I not cannot type any commands including EXIT.

There is a big difference between Debian and ARCH including CachyOS. 
I made about 10 mistakes due to poor eyesight and not reading instructions. Debian alerted me every time I made a mistake and let me go back and correct.
CachyOS did not say I have configured the EFI Boot loader with EXT4 file system.
So CachyOS did not boot.
I get a message in DOS style to say go and make a Boot Manger not Boot Loader.
I do not know how many cups of tea I drank but I am sleepy. Debian would install while I am in Dream Mode.
