I'm subbed, but I don't have a PC running Linux at the moment and am a complete amateur. So... Lurking for me it is.

Welcome! Post any linux questions you got let's help you dive deeper into the linux world. You can spin up a few docker containers to host some services like your own dropbox.

Ok! I actually have a quick one.

I played around with Ubuntu 7 like 14-15 years ago because it was supposed to be the most noob friendly. Is that still the case?

(I only dual-booted on an old laptop for fun, but I never really touched it again.)

I really like Fedora Workstation because the package versions are newer than Ubuntu based distros. The installer is a little complicated to use though. Watch a YouTube video about it first.

If not, then Linux Mint or Pop OS are the most beginner friendly and stable.

I've switched from base Ubuntu to Pop_os and really like it.

Me too! Arch and debian are my favorite.

I just put aside my old iMac running Ubuntu last week. It was barely scraping by. 🪦

Now its all pipelines and cloud instances. #HappyHappyJoyJoy

Running linux mint 21 on old 2008 power mac as dvr security cam server - working great except this thing puts out sooome heat 24/7…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not familiar with security cam DVRs, does it really need that much CPU power?

A friend of a friend (perhaps of another friend) gave me an old mac, 32 bit, no battery.

After mint quitting 32-bit, I have now mx on it.

During the winters this machine makes a cozy atmosphere...
