Well I Ditched Reborn OS for Netrunner OS

Netrunner runs on root which I do not like.

What one has to do is to GO to the System Setting and use Users to install a User. I use the name of a money for my USER Space. That works well. 

If somebody wants to money with me, I know what to do with that cyber space money.

Yes, I did not know ARCH has 4 vulnerabilities.

It did not update with or could not live with the GRUB file of Debian 13 kernel. 

 

Problems all started with Gnome OS which is 2.2GB and came out on the 08-08-2025. Gnome OS try to take over the whole hard disk. It does not live with the normal Partition Table and tries something new. 

Well Partition Table and GRUB file are backbone of Linux. 

If somebody tries to reinvent the the wheel, he or she would have to toil unnecessarily.

It is not going to work.

Coming back to Netrunner which was an old flame of mine that comes from Germany is a KDE desktop with a difference. 

It supports Synaptic Package Manager which is my favorite. 

By the way, Debian 13 supports Synaptic Package Manager as one of its Software, a nice way to satisfy old Linux guys like me.

 

Netrunner is bit out of date but it has both Gnome and KDE Software which is a big plus point. It even supports Oracle Virtual Box.

But I prefer Box utility of Debian.

 

I am not a fan for going straight into new stuff but being a Debian supporter all my life I could not resist going head on. 

In any case I had two Testing images in my NUC from the beginning of this year and Debian regularly provided me with Updates. 

I did not have any problems. 

By the way, my NUC has only 320GB SATA space with 55GB of NTFS for storing Iso Images. With 15GB for SWAP, I have only 250GB for four Linux Operating System. For my working Debian or daily driver I have given 100GB with a large /home partition. What it means is I have roughly 50GB each for the rest of the 3 distributions. 

 

It is economizing my hardware space and certainly not in any way FRUGAL.

I left two 1 terabyte SATA disks in Ceylon.

I won't pay for a huge air ticket to fetch them.

They will gather dust and I may buy a hard disk here in Australia.

 

Any new Linux Distributions takes about 20GB for the /root and rest is for /boot, /home, /var and /tmp or /opt. 

 

I give a huge portion for /var partition to install additional software which include Box utility, Scribus, Inkscape, GIMP, Audacity, VLC and many more.

I have Blender which is 1800GB for full install but Debian does install it with 350MB with rest probably coming from Debian libraries.

 

I am currently working on five books (very boring without a secretary) and may not test any of these applications except Scribus (really labour intensive making even a single page format with high precision takes inordinate time).

I have done with secretaries in the University. They make mistakes in medical terminology and I decided to do my own typing.

LibreOffice 25.2 seems to be very good but I do all my books with AbiWord which is my Work Horse. 

It does not have Macros and in fact it removes any Macro from LibreOffice and Microsoft Words.

I ditched Microsoft 25 years ago. 

Microsoft is a pain for any regular Linux user. 

It is trying to band wagon Linux and it is too, late.

Who would use Edge.

There is a plethora of other browsers from Dillo to Falkon to Brave to Vivaldi to Operate to Firefox to Konqueror.

 

Firefox is my favorite.

I started with Mozilla.
