Garuda Linux to Test Your System

I do not like both TimeShifts and Btrfs file sydtem. Because I like Octspi and Arch Linux I am going to install one instsnce. 

If it does not give me Additional Applications, I am going to ERASE it.

I love birds but not mythical birds.

It takes inordinate system resources and very slow in installing and it looks like it take 45 minutes to install.

It crashed and I cannot log out.

I won't recommended it

I used keyboard short cut to log out and I am Installing Cachy Linux on the failed partitions.

Under Reborn OS when I run Box Utility, Image writing and downloading  and running Firefox

CPU is to full capacity (only two in my NUC)

Swap to 50% capacity.

Network almost in full throttle.

Hard disk up to full and 25%.

My Guess is if YOU are running make sure

1. 32GB RAM

2. Multi CPU

3. SWAP at least twice of the RAM 64GB 

4. High capacity Hard Disk. 

I am sorry I do not have SPACER in my Trixie to give more accurate information. It is discontinued since there is no developer support to SPACER.

 

 

Endeavor OS is so Simple I cannot get AbiWord Installed

For a me who believe in "Small is Beautiful" decided to Install Endeavor OS in a spare Partition.

Installation took 18 minutes  3 minutes faster than an average Linux Installation but I was left with Firefox and lot of information from the Web without how to install AbiWord.

 

I am Installing Reborn OS, which is the easiest of all ARCH Distributions from which I can install anything from ARCH Repository including almost all the Desktops. 

No for Budgie Desktop 

My problem is I am firmly grounded on GNOME and I do not want to try KDE.

By the way, BlueStar Linux has a good KDE Desktop with the ability  to customize it.

I do not want to waste my time customizing KDE.

 

Endeavor OS completely miss my GRUB file.

 

It does not have panels or slides in between waiting periods of installation.

 

It looks like Reborn OS is finishing installation before I finish this blog piece faster than Endeavor OS including my AbiWord.

 

Reborn OS has a beautiful Boot Up Plymouth.

Problem with Manjaro Exists

Problem with Manjaro Exists 

I wondered why I did not use Manjaro for long time. 

It is the same old problem.

 

It cannot read a complicated Partition Table of mine.

 

I have 33 partitions with only two of then being FAT, one EFI and the Other Big FAT file to store Linux images below 4GB.

This is the reason I wand the developer guys to keep it simple and below 4GB for installation and after installation one can add more applications. 

 

FAT File cannot store big files. 

 

I have to go to FAT since lately Debian does not support proprietary NTFS file system.

Manjaro by the way is above 4GB. I cannot install it at all.

 

If I want to install it I have to erase my hard drive and install it first, and install others Linux distributions later. 

I have done this in the past. It can coexist with other ARCH derivatives, then.

I hope they sort out this inability to read EXT4 files when they are above 15 partitions. SuSe had the same problem and that is why I left SuSe long time ago. 

 

I am going to try Endeavor OS instead. 

It was big failure. 

 

I tried Garuda Linux gamer iso and ditched it.

 

I am investigating whether they have a desktop derivative. It may be because I used NFTS partition.
