I keep finding myself here
« on: Wed Nov 13 08:34:40 2024 »
I hop a lot but seem to keep returning to Nutyx. I love the installer, so simple. I like light and fast, my preference is Nutyx and Enlightenment. Last year, my setup consumed 220Mb at startup. I have noticed the linux kernel seems to use an additional 200Mb at boot now, not just Nutyx but Debian and Arch also. Pipewire also adds a bit. So enlightenment now uses 450Mb at boot and Mate around 600Mb. I have spent the day installing distros one after the other. My requirement was simple. Two user accounts and the ability to switch between them. Debian had a weird issue where if I logged on as user 1 and tried to run something as admin it would prompt for the admin credential of user 2.  While I knew both passwords, I couldn't live with the simple flaw. I installed 5 distros today that died and refused to start after the first set of upgrades. One after another, I ruled out distro after distro and not the little distros, I am talking the bigger names.  At 8pm, I returned to Nutyx by 9pm, I was done. There were a few things that slowed me, no way to add a second user via GUI so I did it by command line. The updates from New Zealand are slow, (15 minutes for the kernel update).  Some of the apps that I like aren't in cards, but I can get them from flathub. This distro rocks, keep up the incredible work.

Thanks a lot for your message.

About the kernel, you can choose any LTS kernel on NuTyX.

We keep going. Hope begin 2025. We'll be able to propose cards 3.0. And some closer mirrors

Have a nice day in New Zealand
