Small may be beautiful with LINUX

Small NUC Box.

120GB SATA Disk.18 Partitions of which 

one is 1GB EFI boot partition.

One SWAP Partition of 16GB equivalent to twice my RAM of 8GB.

3 Debian Gnome with two having more than one parition. One inna single /root partition. All in Forky or Testing Kernel.

Two Linux.Gamers

Commodore 3.1 in old Liquorice kernel.

Ultimate ARCH Edition 25GB partition in Trixie kernel

Gamer Linux used as a Music Center.

Four ARCH based Linux derivatives.

CachyOS 

BlueStar Linux

Two instances of REBORN Linux which has the best GRUB Utility.

Its Plymouth Boot Menu is beautiful and pleasing.

No LibreOffice but AbiWord as always for my book writing.

Middle path of Buddhism as far as Desktop is concerned.

Not Frugal as with XFCE but I have Emmabantus with XFCE.

Not Extravagant as with KDE but I have KDE of BlueStar Linux thr most beautiful of all.

Buy I stick with Middle Ground GNOME which is Rock Solid.

 20GB is the bear minimum for /root.

30GB is more than enough but I stick with 25GB the middle ground.

100GB is the absolute waste.

Commodore had packed all the tetro games in 32GB.

This ENDLESS OS guys are absolutely MAD using my Laptop hard disk of 500GB in one /root partition without additional partitions of small size.

Its, USB booting is blocked by Microsoft and OEM guys.

It can be booted by only by DVD ROM and there are NO DVDs in Australia. I left all my Bootable DVDs in CEYLON.

Thank you to all Linux Developer Boys and Girls for making this Year 2026 the Year of LINUX.

All distributions running well and REBORN was installed last.

48 hours of full time Investigation and Experimentation.

Black listing of

1.MANJARO 

2. BIG Linux with a big image but nelow par performance. It is coming from Brazil.

3. UBUNTU 

4. ZORIN 

5. Linux MINT 

Wild SWING with 

Prism Linux

GARUDA Linux 

Both ruined the GRUB.

DATA was not lost.

Ditching of the last NTFS Partition due to Linux sanitary reasons and instslling Commodore Linux.

Thank You to Commdore Linux for reviving Old Games on a computer instead of a proprietary Game Box.

Only one mistake of not formatting one partition which had CachyOS installed in the past. It was flashing while mounting but I ignored and the installation of REBORN OS crashed.

Holiday to my book writing.

This is the month of Wesak in CEYLON.

No temples in Australia which is pretty good on reflecting on Gift of Dhamma as the best gift.

Gift of Linux is the best Free Gift without proprietary attachment.

Now I can peacefully edit the book on LINUX ESSENTIALS which is reaching 600 pages. Plan was to keep below 400 pages.
