I just found out that #decibelLinux AKA #Gentoo Studio exists.

Apparently it's been around for a while. They recommed using #SystemRescueCD to install which is a little funky but, not surprizing in the slightest. lol

Today I spent transferring files off my old #laptop b/c I realized that it wasn't using the ancient dedicated GPU & I messed up installing the drivers like a n00b. So, now I'm going to try out some new OSes. See what I can get installed & run RAID 0.

Other contenders are:
• #AVLinuxMX, #EnlightenmentDE & #MokshaDE versions
• #LMDE which'll make a solid fallback b/c I am most familiar w/ #Debian based distros.

#musicStudio #GNULinux #Ventoy

. . . sigh . . . Some times the RAM fairies get tired I guess. I get it, what is #shit is when humans lie . . . and hide this fact, and onsell them on as a component in a 'tested' 'working' thing, that fails to boot every 7th time.

#SystemRescueCD and #memtest86 are awesome by the way.
