Arch Linux Derivatives Coming of AGE-Testing All

I have made Year 2024 as the Penguin Year.

This time I included Arch Linux and hence it is an important year for.

Arch Linux Derivatives are Coming of AGE.

 I am going back to my writing.

Already 3 books are lined up and one is on Economic and Stock Market and there is one book on Vegetarian Diet.

Editing take along time.

Good Bye.

I am going to test all the Arch Linux derivatives which are user friendly and in Live Mode.

Already I have downloaded ArcoLinux and Reborn-OS.

I found their torrent files at FOSS Torrents and ARCH-Gnome-Big-N Iso is I have already tested and is pretty good. 

These guys and girls are working hard and they deserve recognition.

Reborn-OS

Is pretty Good.

Only bare bone installation.

No Office.

I manged to Install AbiWord my favorite.

Internet connection was breezy and one need Internet for additional packages.

Installation can be done off line but I recommend installation under online conditions.

It connects to its web site and information is ample and education.

Gparted is included.

No idea about the GRUB Boot Loader..

It is Xfce desktop.

It is 2.6GB Image.

ARCOLinux

Only 1.8GB.

Gparted included.

Wants internet connection for advanced installation

Offline I think Core Linux.

Desktop I guess is one of the Old Window Managers, I do not know which.

I am downloading Endeavor OS to test now.

It is only 2GB and already downloaded.

Laxeros is Gnome-1.2-x86_64.iso download finished after almost 7 days.

Only one peer.

Thanks.

I am going to test it.

No Peers unfortunately.

Lya is Cinnamon.

Arch Ultimate Plasma Edition

Arch Ultimate Plasma. Edition is a sleek distribution.

I am not a fan of Arch, simply because it drives me nuts when installing.

It's live session is very long due to its persistence on checking everything before booting.

It is simply paranoia in psychiatric terminology.

I am going to keep it until I finish my book on Linux Fundamentals, since at boot time it goes through all the naming fiasco of hooking udev to dbus to POSIX to kernel which is boring for an old guy who used Linux over 20 years.

Linux is only 30 years old.

It has a long life time.

However, I recommend it to a guy or girl who really wants to dig into internals of Linux.

Not for these YouTube guys who brag about their prowess on a dark terminal which is an antithesis to me.

Linux should fit in a 2GB stick and anything above is bloat ware!.

Now little warning.

These guys Zorin and PoPOS leave behind a script and one cannot clean erase the USB for refuse.

I have over 25 USB sticks with bootable Linux on them only Ubuntu and Sparky Linux I have two copies.

I love the animal graphic of Ubuntu front face when booting.

I love nature and Ubuntu developers coming from South Africa love nature.

Good on you.

Sparky Linux I have media edition and game over editions.

I support Linux gamers but not Steam OS of Valve.

It is long time before I write about Linux and my workhorses are Debian and Emmabantus.

I have love an affinity for Astra Linux from Russia. They have done a wonderful job of having sessions for desktop, tablet and cellphone.

Unlike Americans Russians are smart on table desktop and in the battle field.

Ask an American about Linux, they only know Microsoft's capitalistic crave.

I hate Microsoft from the time I entered Linux.

It is simply aristocratic lady in Kandy who hides her age behind a glossy sari.

That is my best description of Microsoft.

I have only one experience with Apple Globe with a faulty disk, I never used it beyond Redhat ? 6, certainly not Redhat 7.

I have ditched SuSe and Redhat for good long years.

 

Thank YOU Moxilla and FireFox.

I am a long time user of FireFox.

I have had no problem with it since it is always bundled up with my Linux distributions.

Like LibreOffice I have no issue if the version is little behind, since, I am going to get the most stable version for my current use.

The Mozilla Manifesto Addendum

Pledge for a Healthy Internet

The open, global internet is the most powerful communication and collaboration resource we have ever seen. It embodies some of our deepest hopes for human progress. It enables new opportunities for learning, building a sense of shared humanity, and solving the pressing problems facing people everywhere.

Over the last decade we have seen this promise fulfilled in many ways. We have also seen the power of the internet used to magnify divisiveness, incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality. We have learned that we should more explicitly set out our aspirations for the human experience of the internet. We do so now.

1. We are committed to an internet that includes all the peoples of the earth — where a person’s demographic characteristics do not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience.
2. We are committed to an internet that promotes civil discourse, human dignity, and individual expression.
3. We are committed to an internet that elevates critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable facts.
4. We are committed to an internet that catalyzes collaboration among diverse communities working together for the common good.

Show Your Support

An internet with these qualities will not come to life on its own. Individuals and organizations must embed these aspirations into internet technology and into the human experience with the internet. The Mozilla Manifesto and Addendum represent Mozilla’s commitment to advancing these aspirations. We aim to work together with people and organizations everywhere who share these goals to make the internet an even better place for everyone.
