Reason For YOUR Linux System Running Slow

1. Number one is your Browser. It has to cater for all the languages of the world.
Go for light browser like Epiphany of Gnome or Falkon or Dillo or Konqueror.
If you are using Firefox remove all the language packs you do not need,
 
2.. Other One is KDE.
KDE also has to support for many countries.
 
3. Number three and the most heavy is LibreOffice.
Remove all the language packs or like me go for an alternative office package.
Focus Writer
Calligra
 
 
 


Lubuntu with LxQt toolkit

This was edited with Lubuntu on a live session.
It asks for the Ethernet and nevertheless configure the WiFi effortlessly.
 
It is KDE based and has not got a Software Repository. I am proven wrong it depends on Synaptic Sifrware manger.
Now Ubuntu is gone astray I think Linux guys should keep on supporting Lubutu for at least kids with so many educational packages.
I am going to keep LxQt session in my Gnome base.

LxQt kit did the unthinkable and wrote over my Gnome Desktop. It could not moun
Besides it filled up my /root folder to the brim and that would have been the reason. It had only 22GB of space.
DebianEdu is a Server Edition and it has over 100 games and application I hardly use. It is meant for a school server for multiuser environment. It is the the strength of Linux.
Lubuntu live iso image practically had nothing. It project itself as slim and that may be the reason I never used in 30 years of Linux.
Yes I have to install Debian Gnome 12.9.
I already have Debian KDE 12.9.
No damage done and data are intact in my /home folder.
Another cycle of Linux.
I need to include Lubuntu iny book.
A serious commission.

While we are at Light Weight distribution Puppy Linux is the best (not Easy OS).
It has only 10 applications.
1. File Manger something like Roxi filer
2. Standard Terminal Emulator 
3. Process Viewer
4. Default Browser
5. Default Text Editor
6. Default Paint 
7. Default Word Processor 
It used to be AbiWord now gone to bulky LibreOffice.
8. Puppy SetUp including persistent volume.
9. Edit Tray
10. Help
11. Exit

Compiz
Now Compiz had a graphic Start UP.
It's configuration Setup is messy and could not get a desktop running under Gnome. It lacks the libraries that should be associated with a desktop.
Emulators always run under the desktop not on its own.
It is neither window manager nor a desktop. I hope they would iron out this problem and use a window mander like Puppy but bit eyejandy.

Installation is finishing.
Good Bye fro my Android 13 cellphone.


Lubuntu with LxQt toolkit
I accidentally clicked on LxQt toolkit and I ran a LxQt session under Gnome and ran into Frozen Mode.
Quickly installed fool tool kit including Educational package.
It have over 100 packages and I am hesitant to recommend it for kids (Linux in general).
1. Hydogen was one of my old pal it has beta version
2. LibreCAD
3. It has Htop, too.
4. GeoGebra
5. Fotoxx
6. Kalgebra
but the package that caught my eye was Parley for adding to one's vocabulary. 
Lubuntu is about to be finishing its downloading,
 
See you later with some additional comments
It does not load with games and educational pages on has to install them
It is 3.5GB fits in a 4GB USB Stick. 
What I really like is the Bird Front and I do not know its name.
Is it called Racer (Qt is based on)?
It is lovely distribution and I prefer it to AntiX now that Ubuntu gone commercial and fiddling with Rush

Linux Programming Languages

 Linux Programming Languages
 
1. Vi was my beginning but later went to Vim.

2. PHP MyAdmin was my Samba and Server friend but I do not want to touch it in my old age.

3. Perl was my attraction
Being a Writer this was an attraction and quickly settle down on 28MB Abiword.

4. Lyx and Gambas (no more Latex now buts its derivatives)

4. Abiword
Is a word processor and a command line functionality.
It is over 250MB and is my work horse and it has its development package but very few has time for it.
Debian 12.10- - - dropped it so, I will stick with 12.9--.

1. C
Linux is written in C and this where I started coding.

2. C++
I did not waste time on C++

3. Python
Python was the one which attracted to me on Linux in the book Joy of Linux. It is versatile but so long I gave up.

4. Java I really liked when it had Java phones which one could manipulate. One cannot find a Java phone now.

5. JavaScript I hate because it is cross platform.

6. Bash/Shell is unique
I still read Linux Bible when I decide to look at a shell script for fun

7.  Perl was my attraction until I settled down in Abiword.

8. Go of Google.
I collected its package in Ubuntu which was 1.2GB when it became 2.4GB I have it up.
It has over 75 at which level I stopped counting
Go is Linux based and BULKY.

9. Ruby
Ruby on rails was web development language which ai had a flash when I first developed my first Private Web Phase with WordProcess.com (not .og organisation which has gone commercial now) long before Google was born. I still have it and I have forgotten my Yahoo.Mail (I am going to activate it when I am ready with my 5 books with slow progress. Linus fundamental is reaching 450 pages). I want ot keep it as it is and do not want to post any there. It now active but one need to go searching for my web site’s name.

10. Rust is new and I have no knowledge except Ubuntu trying to Reinvent Linux is going to be a either flash in the pan or making money which was not the intention of Ubuntu Master GURU.

11. Swift
It is macOS which I have no interest.

13.  Haskell and compiz compositor is supposed to be for Research Work with very little FAT in its CORE.
It is on black terminal and until it becomes with a simple graphic front I won’t try it.

14. R is the only statistical package for Linux.
It comes as Octave and is very large package.
I think it was developed in New Zealand.
not when I was roaming in South Island.
 
15. PHP
Server side scripting language which has become plump and may be a pest and takes over your system.

Graph-Monkey

Graph-Monkey
This a Graphical Interface, I found accidentally when I was installing Debian Gnome and Debian KDE for the umpteenth time to get my basic NUC System running the way, I want.
The installation is very fast and hangs on a application only if it has importance to Linux. This did so, I could read it but could only remember except the monkey part. Did some Google Search and got its functionality and it is cute and it is to my liking of two face physics (Physics is multidimensional) and I am going to revise my basic mathematics, too
 
My NUC has only 8GB RAM but functional only at 7.2 to 7.3 GB
I have two partitions 13 / and 2 /home dedicated to Text Editers and Nemo (another new find of a Linux File System) with Graph-Monkey facility.
I am going to use it instead of Jitsi which is proprietary. 
 
This is to illustrate the fact, if have access to the Internet which is not free, I can say I am still alive and well in the Linux community.
I am functional at basic code level.
