Looks cool, just starred

I don’t really know anything about this, but good luck :)

Tell me if you find one lol

They are certainly some of the operating systems of all time

As far as I can tell, droidian uses the android kernel etc (like ubuntu touch) whereas mobian is closer to mainline linux

Yeah I’d like to try that but it looks real dodge. Like a generic scam site by someone who took a month of english lessons and then made the website because they were the only one who knew any english.

Very Waack

Lol. My good laptop is komputilo (esperanto for “computer”)

I’m thinking of switching to debian, if I do imma use that

I’ve got an old crappy laptop that’s called craptop

Looks pretty cool, haven’t tried it yet tho

Yeah just had a look, mine’s an early 2011 13" macbook pro with 4GB ram, i5 or i7 cpu, a broken 500GB HDD, a trackpad that doesn’t work if it’s charging, and also the keyboard will randomly spam “m” (or maybe it’s “b”). I could probs fix it, but idk if it’d be worth it lol

I’m not really sure (I’ve never tried to run linux on a mac except once on a 2013 (or 2012 or 2011) 13" macbook pro (I tried ubuntu and debian stable) but the keyboard was playing up and the trackpad didn’t work while it was charging (all hardware problems, they happened in macos as well)(this was in 2021 or 2022)), but given the age of your device any modern distros should be fine.

The FOSS version

Definitely gnome wayland. I have tried plasma wayland but it didn’t work as well (gnome apps seem to be more touch-friendly than qt ones) and there’s no built-in virtual keyboard. I also tried a custom setup with sway, wofi, wvkbd, wlogout, and some other stuff but it kinda sucked for touch.

I have a lenovo ideapad flex 5i 14" (I think the 2022 model?) that I’ve run quite a few different distros on (currently on fedora) and everything seems to work except the fingerprint scanner (worked in windows 11, never worked in linux, seems pretty common) and some issues with sleeping (varies by distro). I did have some problems with the speakers in fedora 38 and a version of opensuse (can’t remember if tumbleweed or leap) but that’s fixed in fedora 39 and I haven’t tried opensuse since.

I once deleted the network system in alpine. I’d been having some trouble with with the default one (I think wpa_supplicant) so I decided to try the other one (I think iwctl). But I thought that there might be problems with havung both of them so before I installed iwctl I deleted wpa_supplicant (thinking that it was more of a config utility than the whole network system), only to find that I couldn’t connect to the internet to install iwctl.

That would be me: My hardware at the time was crap so I couldn’t use the usual mint, ubuntu, etc and I was gonna use debian but I couldn’t find the x86 download button, so after a bunch of messing about with distros like puppy and #!++, I settled on alpine for a bit. I now have decent hardware and use fedora.

You could try the KDE or XFCE spins
