Thomas Traynor<p>Thirty years of using Linux and not turning back!</p><p>In 1995 I started my Linux journey with SUSE. I had an old Compaq SFF and Windows 95 crawled. There was a Linux magazine with a CD and decided to give it a try and was amazed at the difference is performance.</p><p>I did a backup of my files to a CD and installed it. Faster, no crashes and it just worked. It was a bit of a learning curve using the package manager and where all of the tools were.</p><p>Over the years I moved from SUSE to MANDRIVA to PCLINUX to ANTIX and now MX-Linux. About fifteen years ago my wife wanted to migrate and we went through the migration. She absolutely loves it as it just works and has never crashed on her. I set it up to be as much in look-and-feel to her Windows95 setup. I love it as she doesn't call 1-800-tom-help very often. Most of the times it is asking where a specific tool is and only once!</p><p>Over the decades we purchased only used machines. They worked and much more inexpensive than the latest and greatest shiny computers. Only two machines were new. One was from my prior work, they gave me a bonus and I broke down and bought a tower. The other was a gaming laptop. I do play some games, but I was doing a lot of photo editing of family documents along with a few family videos and needed a machine with enough to handle that.</p><p>The gaming laptop is now on the list to convert to Linux as MS is stopping support for Windows 10. The only thing from stopping me earlier was the tax software was windows only. They now have a web version so that limitation is now gone!</p><p>If you are thinking about migration to Linux check out DistroWatch as they have a great list of distros and you can search for what you are interested in. Create a bootable USB stick and give it a try before migrating.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/mxlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mxlinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/linuxmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmigration</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/distrowatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>distrowatch</span></a></p><p><a href="https://distrowatch.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">distrowatch.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

UmWerker 🕊 ☮️ 🤘<p>In the wake of <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/unplugTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugTrump</span></a>, I asked <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Distrowatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Distrowatch</span></a> which <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> distributions originated in <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a>. I confess that I left out the eastern countries. There were only six results, five of which were based on <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a>. Whether <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arch</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> or <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a>, how strong or extensive is the American influence anyway? Isn't it more about individual software or services themselves, such as <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a> or <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>? <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> and its <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> should of course be banned in principle. But as an <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> user, should I change my system because of this?</p>
UmWerker 🕊 ☮️ 🤘<p>Im Zuge von <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/unplugTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unplugTrump</span></a> habe ich mal <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Distrowatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Distrowatch</span></a> befragt, welche <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>-Distributionen ihren Ursprung in <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Europa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Europa</span></a> haben. Ich gestehe, dass ich die östlichen Länder dabei ausgelassen habe. Es gab nur sechs Ergebnisse, wobei fünf davon auf <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> basieren. Egal, ob nun <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arch</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> oder <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a>, wie stark oder umfassend ist der amerikanische Einfluss überhaupt? Geht es nicht vielmehr um einzelne Software oder Dienste selbst, wie z.B. <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a> oder <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>? <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> und sein <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> ist natürlich grundsätzlich zu verbannen.

Da Linux beardude<p>Hey <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> community, I wanna play around with more distros and stuff. Particularly ones that isn't <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>systemd</span></a> but might use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/busybox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>busybox</span></a>. Right now I have <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voidlinux</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/devuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devuan</span></a> in my head.</p><p>I mean I could just go to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/distrowatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>distrowatch</span></a> &amp; use filters but I like hearing people's personal experience about these distros and I'll admit I'm really lazy browsing forums and discussions right now. 😅 </p><p>I've already tried <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gentoo</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alpine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alpine</span></a>, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slackware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slackware</span></a>.
