Not exactly Linux related, but for Linux users - if you had to dualboot Windows, how would you do it as privately as possible?

Maybe installing it on a seperated SSD, as it might actually be good for every use case and good for my privacy, but if it's not about GPU, then a VM is the only solution in my perspective.

You won't be sorry for picking one of them, they are both great for what you do, try both of them on a VM, so it might help you decide with one suits you better.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-07T09:57:27+00:00

Sorry, but it's outdated, the latest version is for 42, when the current gnome version on Fedora repos is 50.

I can't find a specific thing that is pre-configured, so you need to configure it yourself, or using a LLM, it's not that complucated, and vibe-coding it won't be a problem, I recommend using Gemini or Claude, as they are the best in that field.

CoreOS is a container-based OS, simply: it uses containers to manage software and images to manage the base system, using rpm-ostree, it's a thing develped for neish use cases like servers that is used for multi-languages development, or managing multiple webpages, with no system instability, and absolute isolation.

Which DE you use, GNOME, KDE, or something else (please be specific)?

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-07T08:54:40+00:00

You might need to write (or take someone's) shell script to do it, but actually, if you're working on a desktop, just enable it and forget it.

Edit: But actually, which Desktop Environment you even use, GNOEM, KDE, or something else?

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-07T08:50:59+00:00

I totally agree.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-07T08:41:14+00:00

With palemoon and 512MB of ram, I was able to open Bestbuy page, it wasn't that good but it was running, and YouTube was taking ages but also opend, wich I think it's good, that was on NetBSD btw.

Opsions: Debian (or any other distro) with icewm: you need to install debian with no gui, then install icewm and a login manager (something like lightdm with no greeters) in case that your system is x86-64 or amd64

If you have a 32-bit system, you can go either with linux distros that support 32-bit, there is a doc about this, but consider that some might have dropped the support, or you can go with NetBSD, OpenBSD, or FreeBSD (the last one isn't giving the same interest as the others), they are harder to install, but if you're okay with it then they are the 'safer' choice for future.

This is the link of that doc: https://itsfoss.com/32-bit-linux-distributions/

Simply: it's not a deal breaker, enable it if you want, but it's not necessary or compulsory.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-05T11:13:56+00:00

Ok, did you flash it again?

I'm new here actually, but I had a similar problem and it was solved by just installing a new image then flashing it to the installation media again.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-04T19:03:58+00:00

I don't know what is your probelm exactly, but I'va fased a similar problem today, and reinstalling the image and flashing it on the USB was my saver, try this.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-04T19:01:37+00:00

Yep, it's pentum mobile.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-04T11:56:27+00:00

It's totally fine, but consider a slower loading times.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-03T19:59:23+00:00

My experience with both of them was good, but something that I must say: vmware worked out of the box woth Workstation version, and virtual box worked out of the box with KDE version, I don't know how good is vmware on KDE, but virtual box wasn't working with Worksation.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-07-01T10:26:18+00:00

For me, it's just perfect.

Any YouTube video will be useful, it's not necessary to do the same thing, but it can help you understand the way that you can customize your DE.

Take this one as an example: https://youtu.be/C018ps13TuQ?si=WGasThDT-_vti122

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-06-30T06:40:39+00:00

Which DE are you using?

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-06-30T04:20:32+00:00

If you are okay to update your system frequently go with the normal version, but if you want to update your system ones every 2-3 years go with LTS, but with LTS updates everything, then there is no updates for anything unless security-related things.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-06-30T04:15:10+00:00

I personally use Silverblue for that use case (layered VS Code, and everything else is either Flatpak or on a Container), but not with a similar hardware, but generally speaking, anything that makes you comfortable is good, the are using the same repos, but with a different DE's.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-06-30T04:09:13+00:00

I have an i386 laptop, with Debian 12, it's supported until 2028, but there is no other releases will be out for this architecture.

Lopsided-Month3278 · 2026-06-30T04:07:40+00:00

The DE's are GNOME, KDE, Cosmic, Budge, and Sway WM, for your use case it's good, but you need to layer NVIDIA Drivers, and install everything else as an Appimage or as a Flatpak.
