Yeah...

I think I'm giving up on this install of Yuno Host. Too many things have gone wrong during my leading bash etc.

A friend wants me to try Proxmox, so I'll do that. Another potential one is Freedombox.

So we'll see.

I'd love if there was one that sat on top of a regular distro of Linux with a GUI. I think that'd really help me. Haven't found one yet though.

I'm also going to partition the HDD so I can also have regular Linux on the machine too. Puppy Linux (Trixie X11) is surprisingly robust for as small as it is. X11 is much more my speed than xfce. Of the guis I've tried though, I really like GNOME. The super key does something, and it feels more different from Windows than Cinnamon or plasma. Its still not too far off from what I know though.

Only downside is it seems to run on 1.5-2.5GB of RAM. My machine's got 8, and I don't plan on stressing it too hard, but still.

Anyone have suggestions for a distro that uses GNOME and apt? I've got Debian and Chimera on my Ventoy drive.

Okay, #ProxMox is a huge pain in the ass and complains if you don't use the subscription update files.

On to trying #FreedomBox. It says it can be installed on Debian. Is that the base terminal, or can I have the gnome GUI?

@Tourma Did you disable the subscription repository on Proxmox? You really need to do that if you're not a paying customer, because otherwise it's a colossal pain.

As for Freedombox, I assume it's on the "base" install, no GUI.

Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, check out https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian

The Wiki provides detailed instructions to install FreedomBox albeit not updated since Trixie went stable.

You can probably install Gnome w/out any difficulty. The Wiki mentions network changes using NetworkManager (nmcli) and Gnome uses that by default. It also states:

> any machine running Debian can be turned into a FreedomBox.

Install Gnome during the Debian install or using 'sudo tasksel' later.

Do you have a link to the wiki? Just to make sure I'm on the right page. _^

@Tourma this is the way...
http://community-scripts.org/ but of course you can do whatever you want either way. Freedom box sounds interesting.

@Tourma thanks! i discovered freedombox :)

@Tourma
You can have Gnome installed, that's fine.

FreedomBox even includes an option to install Gnome desktop now.

Then here's another question, does the install package work with Ventoy? Because it couldn't see the .img.gz, and when I unzipped it and tried I got errors.
