Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

suprisingly, we have more posts this week 👀

Two weeks ago I installed dual boot EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva on my potato Mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 500 GB HDD), but I haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet. 🙄

Nice! What are you planning on using it for? I'm assuming it's not your daily driver if you haven't got around to using it.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. Perhaps I will use it as network storage. it has an external SATA port, so I can add another storage.

At first I just wanted to learn arch-based Linux. But I found it easier to learn OMV, as it has a similar learning curve to Debian and Ubuntu-based distros.

I haven't used an arch based distro before, I've always used Ubuntu based for servers and Fedora based for daily driving. I'm not even sure why, it's just how it worked out.
