Nostalgic Distros? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I tired Linux a few times in the past, but didn’t really start using seriously until 2019. I love poking around old OSs and distros, and I want to spin a few up in some VMs my next free evening.

Any suggestions? Open to any distro (or let’s be honest, DE). Any versions that holds a special place in your heart or that’s exceptionally novel? Really interested to see what’s out there!

Windows->Mac->Ubuntu->Fedora->Arch->openSUSE->and finally Debian when bookworm released and I’ve been very happy with it, plan on staying for the foreseeable future.

Still dual boot windows (with no Microsoft account connected) for gaming. But I don’t game nearly as much as I used to and when I do I don’t want to worry about anything working, I just want to ply with friends. Though from what I hear gaming on Linux is getting better all the time.

I’m so tired of seeing his clickbait thumbnails on here all the time

Neat! I’ve been meaning to pick up Go so I might try this out for that. Not 100% sure how I feel about the AI art but I’m pretty biased against it so I’ll try to give it a fair shake.

As already mentioned, postmarketOS is probably closest to what you want for an open source android replacement, though it’s still not 100% there if you’re looking for a perfect alternative.

Personally I’m going to try it out as a daily driver when I can get a cheap pixel 8 when the 9 comes out later this year

Anecdotal, but for me worked a lot better with my monitors (both the same exact model though). On plasma 5 they had trouble waking up after suspending
