Finalmente, instalei o #trisquel #linux no meu laptop 32 bits de 2008!

Uso ainda esse laptop todo dia, mas o #q4os, antigo sistema, não atualizava mais.

Gostaria de instalar o #puppylinux, mas este sempre tem uma frescurinha ruim de resolver para dummies como eu. Mas há de ser.

Amigos, chegou a hora: não manjo NADA de código, mas preciso instalar um novo sistema #Linux no meu velho laptop de 32 bits.

Algum sistema 1) livre e 2) fácil de instalar, de verdade?

Sou um dummie, um ignorante, mas também entusiasta do Linux. Usava #Q4OS, um linux muito fácil de usar, mas que foi descontinuado. Precisaria de uma instalação fácil e rápida 😉

Not my curent project, that's getting my #FreedomBox with #Nextcloud up and running, but my next project will be getting my Potato running with a distro of Linux. I call it a Potato as it's a '17 Windows Tablet. A low end one at that. Weird Intel processor and 1GB of RAM. Right now it's looking like it will be #Q4OS, #PuppyLinux, or #LinuxLite. We'll see! I've got them all downloaded.

I like that Q4OS installs from within Windows and leaves a dual boot. I do want to keep it as I'm not 100% sure my printer still works with Linux. So if the Potato becomes the Printer Runner, that's fine. But I'd like to be able to connect it to the internet.

That said, Puppy living in external media with persistence is nice. I could put it on the SD card and leave it there. Void Puppy has a pretty nice feel to it too.

I haven't tried Linux Lite at all yet, but it being Xfice puts it low on my list. Do not care for that GUI. Sorry Xfce people. 

#Q4OS 6 Andromeda: More Than Just #Debian #Linux on a Diet for Old Machines

Well that's neat. I've been looking for a lightweight linux distro to try on my potato, (a windows tablet with 1GB of RAM.) and I found that #Q4OS allows you to install it from within the windows screen. That will allow the computer to dual boot. You can even go into BIOS and change it to the default boot.

One of the reasons I haven't converted it yet, (aside from lazy,) is that I might need a windows machine to talk to my printer. This might work out without me having to fight it to do a proper dual boot. The other is it's weird ass processor, am Intel Atom x5 Z8350 .

Thing could barely run windows 10
