I finally ditched Ubuntu for a "niche" Linux distro—and I'm not going back

How a niche distro made me realize to never settle.

On the Mango Pi Pro, I popped out the sd card running #Ununtu server with #LXDE and put in a different sd card with the “official” #Armbian ISO with #XFCE from the Mango Pi website.

After way too long finagling the keyboard, mouse, and power inputs, I have updated the packages on the OS (#Jammy). Tomorrow I will update to #Noble and go from there.

Also I will test sound output tomorrow as I trim the fat of preinstalled programs/apps.
Trying to get this old pc up and running here for Obs since it should be powerful enough for it even without the GPU in it. Hopefully OBS and my stream card work with Ubuntu otherwise it’s off to windows. #obs #ununtu #windows #streaming #twitch

Hello, Mastodon family! It's been a long time coming, but Xubuntu has officially left X behind! https://x.com/Xubuntu/status/1886754277177123276 If you're still using X, consider sharing our update to spread awareness. We'll continue to bring you the best of #Xfce and #Linux... all in one place. (edit: because everything is confusing and nothing makes sense... we're leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, not X11. Wayland is still very much in the future!)

My partnet has just replaced her aging laptop with a Surface Pro 7.

That left her laptop asking to be used as an X86/64 Server.

#ununtu #ubuntuserver

What’s the best looking macos ui like #linux distro out there based on #debian ideally #ununtu variant.

Elementary OS has some promise but what it considers theirs party apps is a shit show.

Zorin looks commercial and potentially outdated packages? Do I just stick with Ubuntu?

Shove the #ACPI #bios error up yer arse bios , #dell and #ununtu

I don’t even know how I got into the command line to grub the motherfuckers

Anyone know if there’s an easy way to add @BuddiesOfBudgie to @pop_os_official? I tried the meta package for #Bidgie you’d use in #Ununtu but it failed due to #PopOS using #pipewire
