What a Revealation after ditching ENDLESS OS
To begin with the figure of 8 Viris appears only if I press the keys hard. If I touch the keys light with prompt press the backspace key I have now installed 12 Linux distributions in old ACER Laptop.
Do we, the Mankind need a religion in the 21stcentury?
Do we, the Mankind need a religion in the 21stcentury?
320 GB SATA and 10 Operating Systems in One Place
Yes, it is true.
Beauty of Linu is there is a distribution that fits with the User needs unlike the Vendor locked Apple and Microsoft.
However ARCH and ARCH derivatives are winning the race.
I decided to use MXM or AV Linux Moksha on top of Bodhi since I cannot trust on the future of UBUNTU.
What I am interested is the Beautiful Moksha Desktop which is as beautiful as BlueStar Linux.
MXM brings a beautiful uplift MX Linux which is very UGLY.
Besides what I want is Multimedia Districtibution. It doesnot matter it is built on UGLY MX Linux.
I do not like MX Linux since its Desktop is visually UGLY and has more utilities than I need for my daily activities.
However, Commodore Linux 3.1 MATE is based on MX Linux.
One time I loved AV Linux based on MX Linux
AV means Audio and Video and its 25.1 version stop supporting AV part radically so I gave up since like its predecessor MX Linux is very SLOW to adopt the new Kernel. AV Linux has adopted Moksha desktop from Bodhi Linux and it is named MXM MX Moksha.
I have MODICA and Commodore to multimedia content.
I am a New Kernel guy who uses Debian Testing or Forky.
I do not support Linux Mint since Cinnamon Desktop is bulky and has proprietary software. I do not like its TimeShift utility.
GNOME consunes about 600MB and Cinnamon 1200MB. I was a fan of it during 32 bit days before becoming bulky over time.
3KDE Dektops
1Enlightenment Desktop
1 Moksha Desktop which is a modified Enlightenment Desktop.
1MATE
5 GNOME Desktops
3 Game and Media Desktops
3 Kernels
At least 3.
Debian GNOME
Debian GNOME Removed the Debian and added Bodhi Linux which uses modified Enlightenment Desktop Moksha but I have added GNOME on top of it.
I hate both XFCE and KDE
Environment Desktop is special to me.
Reborn OS GNOME
Storm or Arch OS KDE
Cachy OS GNOME
BlueStar Linux KDE
Commodore Linux is MATE
ELive Enlightenment Desktop
Modicia GNOME
Ultimate Game Linux KDE
One night of toil to make my GRUB fully functional.
Two Years Patience Paid Dividends
Yes, I did wait 2 years to unblock the Vendor Lock that was in my Laptop. It now runs Debian Forky, Commodore 3.1 and Linux Ultimate Gamer. Its hard disk of 500GB was locked by ENDLESS OS by XFS file system which I hate.
Thanks to www.Bios.Bug.com for sending me the Supervisor Password of 8 numbers. When I entered the unblock password that came out after entering 3 WRONG passeords at their visitor site in comes the Magic Number to open BIOS Menu.
I changed the BIOS order to boot from USB first, DVD Drive second and Hard Driver 3rd. I had done this many a times in old PC and NUC. I am not paranoid to block the BIOS of EFI Boot Menu.
My Debian Resolve is innovative
I may change this scheme a bit but basically overall approach is the same.
Instsllation started at 12PM.
Finished at 13.22PM
1. DEBIAN Forky GNOME only.
It has /root /var, /home and /tmp.
/tmp is the most important.
I believe every time I reboot junk files are flushed away. No need for Sweeper or Bleach Beat.
It took 15 GB space.
SWAP 8GB shared by all distributions.
Forky has discontinued BlueFish.
1375 files and it takes 7GB of Disk Space.
The is the lightest.
It is even lighter than MX Linux Moksha.
2. Debian Forky
Started at 13.25PM.
Finished at 15.10PM.
DEBIAN GNOME and two cellphone utilites. I got AbiWord installed using GNOME.
1912 files and it takes GB hard disk space.
Only 8.8GB used.
3. DEBIAN Trixie Net Install ERASED.
4. DEBIAN Trixe FULL INSTALL
Reason have Blender installed.
Started at 17.20PM.
Finshed at 17.55PM.
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
For the first time, I got GNOME under SDDM Plymouth Window Manager.
Added AbiWord and Audacity and Enlightenment Desktop and no space for Blender. I should have given bit more space but all working all right and no more fiddling. I love OCTOPI and its cleaner works fine.
Endeavour Linux failed but a stroke of luck it was installed with booting in my Laptop.
STORM installed but Installed GNOME on top of XFCE LightGDM.
AV Linux Moksha added on top of Trixie Net Install.
ARCH Ultimate Gamer, Italian Modicia and REBORN OS added.
Only 9 distributions earlier instead.
Toshiba has 320GB and 32GB is just enough for full install but I save space by giving smaller share to STORM OS and AV Linux and Net Install instance.
BlueStar Linux /root partition reduced from 42GB to 25GB and added AV Linux Moksha making it 10 again.
This is the First Time I have reduced the partition size of an already installed Distribution.
Altogether 20 particular and all Debian Instancces have a/tmp partition.
ARCH has riverted to /var and /opt partition which I do not use now. They also do not get a /home partition. I do not store Linux Images in them.
Commdore Linux discontinued..
Ugly.
ELive discontinued.
Too much configuration changes and the time it takes to install. However, it is installed in my Laptop. Www
MX Linux Moksha
Ultimate ARCH Gamer
STORM Linux
Modicia Linux
May be considered
ELive Linux
Excluded by default
VOID and NOID due to different INIT system
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.
I am saying Good Bye to Gnome temporarily
Yes, I am gooing to say, Good Bye to Gnome.
Of course temporarily.
I have decided to use my tablet with a large Keyboard with Sinhala fonts enabled by Google.
My NUC will get a temporary respite with linux Image downloads with 10 Linux distributions installed.
The larest is Network Install of Debian Forky.
I could install Endaevour OS parallel with other distribution but due to some bizarre Input Failure, I cannot Log In to Plymouth Window Manager.
It goes into timeless,,, "No Time Limit" which is a mystery for me.
I installed STOMY Linux instead.
It is XFCE but with some tweak I got GNOME Deskttop.
Now I am into Debian's cellphone Deskttop.
Bit of a learning curve.
One does not let me log out but the other by trial an error, I got Log Out and Restart enabled.
I hate to Press the Switch Off button to Log Out.
Story About Debian Root Password
I just read a few of the FORUM discussions and most likely by guys coming from Windows backgrounds.
I am currently installing Debian Forky.
Under the password frame it clearly states that (my English ), if password is not set all the Root privileges are passed to SUDO, when the User requires it.
The Root Password is used for System Requirement like INSTALLING Software or erasing a USB or SATA do indicate hardware are under control of the USER.
I am Installing it without GNOME and with only cellphone utility (without root privilege) to whether I can access my cellphone and Hard Disk Data like photos.
I would Report as and when I encounter difficulties.
I cannot access
Synaptic Package manager without the root password.
I only wanted install AbiWotd.
Synaptic Package Manger I reinstalled but the same problem exists.
I think I have to go back and install Gnome and thr cellphone packages.
It was installed under Gnome and this time fire fox is missing.
I am going to install with root password now.
There is a Terminal and I gave my user password and it does not recognize it.
That is why I never use SU for any of my software installation.
It s a pain.
I typed SUDO it gives me helper advice and no password request.
I am posting this using the cellphone utility of Debian and not using Gnome for the first time. Google does not lo in with the Morph brower of the utility due to security reason but my favorites Fireox is there.

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.

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.
