REBORN OS Installation

REBORN OS was my favorite ARCH based distribution but Ultimate Linux GAMER has tipped it since Ultimate can install sll my required applications including AbiWord.as Flatpak.

I did not fancy Flatpak due to its bulk.

However, Debian Forky does not have a working AbiWord. Even Flatpak does not support AbiWord.

But Flatpak in other distributions have AbiWord Sandboxed.

I am going to STOP Testing Linux till July 2027 when Debian finalize the Forky Image, ideally with AbiWord dependencies sorted out. 

Till then I will be using Linux Ultimate GAMER as my daily driver

In January, 2027 I am  going to publish my book on Linux Essentials to coincide with my Birthday. 

Coming back REBORN OS.

It is little over 4GB Image.

Live Session is XFCE.

WiFi configuration smooth.

Hardware Detection is excellent.

It has GParted.

Easy to install both online and offline.

Offline it is XFCE.

Software Installatiom breezy.

If am given the choice between CachyOS or REBORN OS, I go for REBORN.

CachyOS has finiky behaviour.

Update on ESP 

One can have 2 ESP partition but only one boots.

Ideally it should be the first partition.

1.2GB enough for Debian.

If you have 40 partion like me you can have a additional big ESP of 4.5BG for experimental distributions, if you do not know the actual requirement for a particular distribution say for example SuSe Linux Gamer, Ragatta.

CachyOS needs 4GB.

I am going to install KDE for CachyOS since my use of it would be minimal and not my workhouse. For REBORN OS it is GNOME but I would add Plasma Dedktop.

If you have multiple distributions like me You install CachyOS, the last of all.

It won't boot but like Endeavor OS it would go on an endless loop looking for the onstall OS without booting.

I prefer Root and User account with passwords.

If Calamara installer gived the option one password for user and root please click that option OFF. One has to key in two passwords one for root and one for user.
