No chance of overwriting your bootloader when you distrohop using LiveUSBs and LiveCDs.

  • But srsly, Trisquel GNU/Linux is a distro that provides Ubuntu with all the non-free and contrib removed. Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is Arch with all the nonfree packages removed. Worth a look if you support software freedom and transparency.

Or learn a whole new system and try nixos

WARNING: you probably should try it out in a virtual machine first.

I don’t want you to download Manjaro, but I had one partition as root and another as home and Manjaro just asked me to install itself in root, to replace my previous borked Ubuntu installation and use old home without data loss, instead of making me set everything myself again, like Ubuntu does.

Good to know! Any recommendations of where I could post? I’m trying to update an old 2013 Mac so it can play robox and minecraft. I have a portable HDD to work with as well. And Mac is pretty damn foreign to me and it’s so old. But damn for 10 years old it’s fantastic and most of the specs were better than modern macs (dedicated graphics card for one)

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
