Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!

Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.

As I’m waiting for my SSD to arrive I’m considering #Linux distro I’ll be installing on my old PC. Been running #Mint for work in a VM and have it installed on a miniPC and old laptop, and it’s fine but I don’t like the old Windows style of active apps on the taskbar. I find it confusing to see which app is currently active. It’s done with a distinctive color, but somehow my brain says it’s not the active window…

So #ZorinOS seems very nice! Or maybe I should try #Fedora first…

I find a smartphone with Linux as firmware interesting. However, I just flashed my Pixel 10 Pro XL with GrapheneOS and am very happy with it.
But my tower PC and laptop run on Linux (ZorinOS and Pop! OS).

Dank Ubuntu/Zorin OS18 kann ein 15 Jahre alter Aspire Z5710 all-in-one PC (6 GB RAM, i3 530x4) weiter dienlich sein.

Scared to try #Linux?
Don't want to dual boot just to try?
Don't have a USB stick lying around?
What if I mess something up?

Fear not... Check this out!

Kleine Warnung an alle die #Synology #abb Software unter #zorinos 17 nutzen und auf 18 upgraden wollen. Das endet in einem Kernel Panic!!!
ABB ist aktuell nur bis kernel 6.8 freigegeben. Ihr müsst entweder ABB vorher deinstallieren, oder (lange?) warten bis Synology in die Pötte kommt und endlich 6.17x unterstützt. Immer das gleiche, ABB unter linux ist echt die Seuche.. :-(

Yes! This is absolutely true.

Repurpose older computers that cannot be upgraded to #Windows11 to use any number of #Linux distributions. #Kubuntu #LinuxMint #ZorinOS #Pop!OS #Lubuntu

Getting Started: Step-by-Step Migration Guide

* Backup everything important (photos, documents) to external drive or cloud.

* Download the ISO from official sites (linuxmint.com, zorin.com/os, pop.system76.com, lubuntu.me). Verify checksum if paranoid.

* Create bootable USB (8 GB+): Use Rufus (free on Windows) – select ISO, DD Image mode for best compatibility.

* Test in Live session: Restart, enter BIOS (usually F2, Del, F10, or Esc), set USB as first boot device. Boot Linux – everything runs from RAM/USB. Test your hardware fully.

* Install: Double-click "Install" icon. Choose language, keyboard, updates, and partitioning (Easy: "Erase disk" for full replace, or "Something else" for dual-boot by shrinking Windows partition). Takes 10–30 minutes.

* Post-install: Reboot, run updates (GUI tool), install proprietary drivers if prompted, and add favorite apps via Software Store.

Dual-boot tip: Install Linux after shrinking Windows partition in Disk Management (leave 30+ GB free).
