I went through sh->csh->tcsh->bash
End of 80s was un*x, I started using Linux as a main OS with kernel 0.99
Why did you start using linux? it was the 80s/90s, windows didn’t exist, I used un*x at uni, of course I couldn’t install HPUX, AIX, Solaris or IRIX on my 386, so I installed Linux. There was minix but it was not free. Also BSD was tempting.
Origin? A couple of floppy images downloaded from usenet :) there was no distro really.
I’m using MX, debian based, apt package, I have 0 flatpak/snap. They are up to date on about everything, like the latest Firefox I got this morning in a simple .deb that nala (apt frontend) installed without problems.
I never ever installed a snap/flat in my Linux years.
I’m so glad to use a distro with 0 flatpak/snap/whatever, my FF is always the latest one, with a simple .deb install from apt, ❤️ MX Linux
I need this, my local dollar store sells 32GB USB2 key for $5, I have one for MX, MX-AHS, MX32bits, antix, etc I have multiple 32GB keys with just 1 or 2 GB used, I will check this ventoy!
MX Linux 32 bits (it’s debian+XFCE) will run fine, AntiX too.
I used VMware or vbox for 10+ years, or HyperV in Windows.
Lastly in Linux I needed a windows XP install for an old program, I tried QEMU and after booting the install iso, I just created a small script to launch my installed image with some parameters I needed for serial port, and that’s it.
I like QEMU, and will try to use it for any VM now.
Me, I’m doing it, for myself, easier to install whenever I change distro, take a laptop, etc It’s also to learn how to do it, I don’t know how to create a snap/flatpak image, hence the post. And it has nothing to do with an old app, it’s to have an app and all its dependencies in a container
It’s an offline application, I don’t care
Yeah using LD_LIBRARY_PATH or RPATH etc is how I did something similar years ago, but I think there is a more modern way to do it
Mine is pretty simple, about the same since 2008, Xfce, with a bottom taskbar with window, a little bit like in Windows XP. I added Teams quicklaunch lately, else it’s only file manager, FF, terminal.
What’s the difference? the name of some keys? Layout is the same, no?
whatever ship with the distro when I want to open a terminal…
absolutely, xrdp and remmina, what’s the problem with remote desktop?!?
to reduce usage of the mouse?
a keyboard?
Arch (BTW I’m using Arch)
I love MX Linux, I’m using it for years! Xfce is super nice and fast, everything is super up to date and use debian native, no snap/flatpak. From old 32bits netbook to super new AMD system, it’s MX here.
Using Linux for 30 years, I’m with MX and Xfce for years.
