This a Simple Advice to Elive from a Guy who used Linux for over 30 years and one who use Debian GNOME regularly.
This regarding Installation.
Instead of trying to put everything in one go one should install the basic system and then add Enlightenment Desktop on top of it and any additional stuff you have developed. Otherwise, YOU may remain stuck in Bookworm for ever.
I am already into Forky and providing them with feedbacks during and after installation.
Elive is a beautiful dustribution much beautiful than BlueStar Linux KDE which I have in my System.
YOU ruined my GRUB but I know how to get my system back. This is not true for Newbies. That is why I won't recommend it to Users new to Linux which are numerous due to bungling of Microsoft.
YOU assume I have Windows in my sysytem but my NUC never had Windows in it.
You must at least say how much YOU need for the system. I gave 20GB and you ask more without telling me how much.
Long Live Linux.
I am erasing the 5 partitions where Emmabantus Trixie Edition was installed.
I have said Good Bye to Trixie Stable.
It is even pain to install Puppy Linux based on Trixie, simply because none of the configure the WiFi INTERNET configuration.
Elive could not identify my EFI partition and wanted have new EFI.
I declined.
On the plus side it asks a lot of questions before the installation including configuration options which are Automatic with Debian.
Installation run on terminal and on black background and I cannot read them which I used to do, every time I install an ARCH Derivative. I am new to ARCH but with REBORN OS installed, I have a very good understanding.
Installation including formatting is Very, Very SLOW.
It is OK because I have gone through this pain before.
It is Debian Trixie and the desktop is Enlightenment Desktop.
I already have Enlightenment Desktop under Debian GNOME Hood.
I hope it wouldn't ruin my GRUB.
It did and I could not boot REBORN OS.
It it fails I would instal Pearl Linux 13 which also based on Trixie. Yes I am now installing it on the destoyed REBORN partitions. It has its own modified XFCE Desktop caled PDE. It has Synaptic Package Manager a plus point.
Elive has developed its own Desktop Effects which is admirable and I need to make an entry about Elive Linux in my book "Linux Essential".
By the way, WiFi configuration was smooth and I hope it UPDATES all the applications during Installation.
Irritatingly, it configure the User and Password at the end of the Installation.
I am hesitant to recommend it to any soul but one who is interested in Desktop Effects in Linux which are FROZEN in KDE, this is the distribution one SHOULD Try.
Booting is SLOW which is understandable given its Desktop Effects at boot time.
It did not ruin my GRUB.
More work for me.
It is much better than COSMIC Desktop and KDE.
THANK You to all especially, the Developer Guys and Girls at Elive Linux.
Elive is much better than Emmabantus.
I am going to miss Synaptic Package Manager. If it was available, first thing I do is to install GNOME Desktop.
By the way, it has Blender which Forky has done away with.
Only Flatpak SOFTWARE is available and I did not try any.
It took only 10GB of space and I have 16GB left in the /root partition.
As a punishment for destroying my GRUB and interfering with my favourite REBORN OS, I decided to delegate only 12GB for its /root partition and Reinstall and Get back my REBORN OS after finishing instslling Pearl Linux.
I have added another partition making 30 in total. 29 partitions was a misstep to begin with.
I will have 6 distributions instead of 5.
In the past single partition was given to MX Linux which has lost my interest.
By the way, Elive did not ask for a SWAP Partition which was unusual for a old Linux Distribution.
