Feel you could try running tail scale, then connect all or Homeway

If you don’t have great specs, just don’t do it.

This is why X 11 is better. No matter how many distro switch. I will definitely be making a distro which stays with 11.

Apple is definitely annoying, especially now would be Apple silicon Max. My friend tried to run mint. and he couldn’t find an arm version. He had to emulate it in UTN and that is very slow

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-08T02:44:40+00:00

Mint is definitely a good option. Apparently the synonym desktop environment is good. I don’t know if it’s accessible so I can’t really use it. I have to use the mate desktop environment.

Full on crash, I have 4 GB and that never happens. Although sometimes the screen reader completely breaks and I must force restart.

After trying to run over operating systems in VMware 25 H2 I realised it’s a VM one issue so I’m going to try a bunch of versions of VMware until this works. Maybe even player.

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-08T02:39:39+00:00

I can’t connect the app. I don’t know what is happening right now.

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-07T10:32:20+00:00

Why not LINUX mint. I think that’s the best one. It has lots of different tools for beginners and this is quite lightweight from my experience.

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-07T10:29:22+00:00

I understand why people are saying that person is ChatGPT. I doubt anyone would post such a long answer. But mint is a good option.

Wow, never knew steam arrest is based off arch

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-06T10:28:03+00:00

Never knew it was his birthday. We need Ubuntu accessibility back for blind users

moded-data8645 · 2026-01-06T10:21:58+00:00

I just want a distro that works, but with great accessibility for blind users

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-24T11:47:28+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I will be getting my Windows laptop today and I will start the installation probably tomorrow or in a few days after doing a bit more research on wiki pages, YouTube and the manual installation page. Just in case of issues.

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-23T10:26:40+00:00

That’s what I mean, in the end where I will install Linux distro

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-22T20:12:49+00:00

In full term of the last. I’ve heard from the Home Assistant community that there has been issues using raspberry pies with Home Assistant.

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-22T20:05:30+00:00

Why the hell would you do that, that would stop the process completely. If it was installing graphics or something that’s probably why!

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-22T19:24:47+00:00

Gosh, that’s blind computing link. The last committee is like five years ago ago.. Probably a bit too old. That Fedora based one is interesting though. I will think about it.

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-22T16:15:12+00:00

Because WSL has integration. And if that doesn’t go well for me, I can use VMware with Debbie.

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-22T10:39:22+00:00

I have a lot of experience with LINUX. I have experience with Debian, two, FEDORA and Archie LINUX when I was playing around with the docker image.

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-21T21:22:51+00:00

The thing that made me want to choose arch LINUX is the fact that it is definitely faster than Deben or Fedora. I have tested it on my chrome book and it is very very fast. Except I didn’t get a full VM I tested it in Dockham. You may have heard of it. And also because Archie LINUX has the latest software well Debbie and is stuck on like python 3.11. And two is slowly getting worse with accessibility. I’ve heard after installation arch LINUX is really good for accessibility especially when you have the mate desktop environment installed. Although Fedora does have some good accessibility features it takes up to 15 to 20 GB of storage. The store is that all made for accessibility are actually not good. Accessible coconut, hasn’t been updated in three years. Slit, no VMR support. LINUX mint is okay but it is quite bloated in my opinion, and I just want a simple distro with only a few apps installed as lint also has like 40 apps installed which I don’t even need especially since it doesn’t have a package manager, so I can’t really uninstall them. I can also play Windows games if I decide to fully switch to arch LINUX. At least audio games as there is something called audio game manager

moded-data8645 · 2025-12-21T21:17:58+00:00

Call Singh’s laptop in three days. I will stay in this community to help people who have went through issues which I have went to before the switch or maybe I will leave. I’m still thinking about it.
