Most Unpopular Party in Power with a Poular Vote
Impression Utility
Impression Utility
Impression is a good USB image writer which downloads and writes the image directly to USB or DVD.
I have not tried it before.
I am trying to write Manjaro Gnome Image which I got an incomplete image on Debian Gnome base which boots but does not recognize my partition table.
I would report on my progress here, soon.
By the way, Reborn OS supports Brave Browser but I have no space in my little NUC to install it.
But I have it in my my MX Linux.
Image writing is 77% now.
Update on Reborn OS
Update on Reborn OS
I got it right only on the fourth attempt of installation. In fact, I did it for the fifth time with cosmic and enlightenment desktop on top of genome.
One can use three package system and I installed Gnome synaptic to get my Gnome utilities. Sandboxing consume lot of memory.
My first advice if you try ARCH Linux try BlueStar Linux which is most beautiful KDE Desktop and easy to Install. Endeavour OS is good but it has problem with GRUB.
One should try Reborn OS only after that.
First attempt was disaster and it ruined the GRUB Boot Loader.
Second attempt I let the Reborn OS decide the Installation. It installed but it filled up everything and I could not get even 250MB Abiword installed.
The third attempt was to read all the instructions and to get AbiWord installed. Still I had problems getting other desktops installed, say Cosmic an Cinnamon installed but failed getting the others in pristine condition.
Now a warning do not try the Blend OS coming from India. The guys in India should read this. Blending applications from Fedora or Suse would cause disaster unless one goes down to the underlying CODE and fix bugs in Fedora and Suse first. They integrate the partition into one single partition with Btrfs and that is a disaster itself. Mind you, I have tried all of them installing not on Virtual Machines.
I am an academic guy and I do not want to become a fool myself, teaching things, I do not understand like Haskell, Xmond, Wayfire and even Enlightenment Desktop.
1. Reborn OS is one of the best.
2. It has the latest QT6 toolkit
3. It is backward compatible with QT5.
The problem is with the application developers who do not bug fix their applications before releasing them to the public.
It is not the job of Reborn OS to check bugs in each and every application. It checks conflicts and integrity and do not install them if they do not passReborn OS Test.
4. It does not spoon-feed but while installing report all the problem that may arise from second to second.
Learn to read them and understand them.
6. Do not listen to these YouTube guys who write ready made installation scripts with lot of bugs and tell you how to do and say “go and have a cup of tea”.
7. Stand by when installation is "going on" and respond to each and every query made by it say either Yes or No or remain neutral.
I remain neutral.
8. Do not browse the Internet looking for help while installing, Read them before installing. These manuals are there to help not teach.
9. Do not try to be a GURU, since Linux is fast moving and changing and digesting everything even for a guy who used Linux for 30 years but spoiled by Debian Gnome background checking of everything without telling you anything specific but doing the deamon and cron jobs assiduously.
10, Thank you, Reborn OS and all the Linux guys who toil day and night without asking anything in return except a cuppa.
11. Reborn Os is a Rolling Release and one has to use it as the daily driver and reports bugs and keep abreast with the community.
Peppermint OS
Peppermint OS
This was one of my favorite distribution.
It went into hibernation ? after Version 8.
I think it is coming from UK.
Light weight and beautiful and has all the components.
After Emmbantus and is cairo dock I did not revisit these two distributions due many reasons.
I am a Gnome addict.
Currently promoting all ARCH derivatves and I have two instances of Reborn OS which is pretty good for newbie.
Lot of Graphic help and has almost all the desktops,
I think Peppermint OS should introduce other Window Managers and Desktops.
IceWM is very popular.
Except Enlightenment and cinnamon all the other desktops are light weight.
I have given their space usage in a different piece here.
Yes, I am Reborn Again with Reborn OS
Yes, I am Reborn Again with Reborn OS
Both Suse Linux including Tumbleweed and Current Suse Desktop and Redhat (Fedora by the way) are a pain to Install and get my required desktops and application.
I am going to use Reborn OS natural fallback Linux when I get fed up and bored with Gnome of Debian
If you want to get another type of desktop in Debian one has to burn an iso OS of that type desktop which there are many in their web site or use the First DVD of their DVD collection (not Resource DVD)
It is different with Reborn.
1. Boot the Live iso Imgae of Xfce Desktop.
2. Connect to the Internet either WiFi or Ethernet.
3. Select the desktop Your Choice.
4. Configure your hard disk.
5. Install
6. Make sure you say Yes or No to the prompt in the terminal.
If you do not respond it assume it as Yes but it waits along time to install if YOU do not respond in the time allowed for you.
7. Now I have Gnome of Reborn and Plasma Desktop.
I do not have to bun a DVD or write the image on a USB.
It saves time and money.
THANK You Reborn OS.
8. There are many ARCH based images and each one has its own specification.
Reborn OS is graphic intensive for the user.
Others are mostly text based Installers.
Yes it is finishing installation before I finish this piece
I forget to say one very important thing.
It configure the GRUB effortlessly.
Mind you Redhat and Suse have different INIT systems and that their problem and not mine.
Instillation is over I am booting my NUC.
