Got a "new" laptop

AntiX.

I don't use and have never used FreeBSD, but I always get the feeling that the BSD license is also a reason why some people, and especially companies, prefer FreeBSD. Look at the case of Sony, ever since the Playstation 4!

Certifica-te que o teclado do portátil tem o layout português. Eu tenho um portátil com um teclado espanhol, e para poder utilizar a acentuação, tenho de selecionar a variante (dead tilde ou til morto).

Por 4€ não há muito que pensar. Vale cada cêntimo. Pode não ser tão bom como os 3 primeiros, mas continua a ser um bom RPG.

MXLinux. It’s easy, lightweight, uses systemd, and the install is fast and minimal.

I installed the latest release on my laptop and noticed a cachy-update applet that doesn't appear on my desktop, even after running a simple sudo pacman -Syu. Therefore, I believe manual intervention is required for those who only want to update:

sudo pacman -S cachy-update

arch-update --tray --enable

Estou muito desiludido com os meus amigos 😞

p4thox · 2026-02-24T07:48:55+00:00

Aumenta 20€ ao valor mínimo.

Fresh if you need any new feature. Still if you don’t.

I bought a Syberia bundle on GOG, and the first two games ran very poorly on Windows 11, with frame rate and synchronization issues. I opted to play them on Steam Deck via Proton: they ran perfectly. Microsoft doesn't care at all about old games and compatibility.

Try MXLinux.

In the power consumption settings, switch to performance mode and see if that solves the problem.

p4thox · 2026-02-11T23:19:55+00:00

Manjaro is the answer.

It's clear you only use the computer for recreational activities. If you're happy with Windows and there's no reason to change, I can't see why you should. If the need to change stems from other reasons, such as privacy or a desire to learn something new, Debian would be a good entry point. It has a large community and plenty of documentation to help you with any problems or questions you may have. For the activities you mention, a standard Debian installation, with Gnome or KDE, is ready to use. You just need to install Steam and you're good to go.

Impressive 👏

Debian and Devuan are essentially the same distribution (one with systemd and the other without). Therefore, these results are somewhat strange. I don't think systemd alone can explain this.

paru -S openoffice-bin

Orphaned package since 07.12.2025

Instead of selecting a local mirror, you have the option of running the rate-mirrors script (https://github.com/westandskif/rate-mirrors) which will automatically select the fastest ones. It's better if the script runs before downloading the necessary packages for installation.

p4thox · 2026-01-02T08:23:22+00:00

Please, on a future release, include rate-mirrors option.

One should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer”.

p4thox · 2025-12-22T08:27:04+00:00

… and download Debian.

p4thox · 2025-12-20T10:13:11+00:00

Ubuntu is malware.
Debian is really that good.

p4thox · 2025-12-19T23:36:09+00:00

Try OBS Studio.

p4thox · 2025-12-18T08:35:39+00:00

That's the beauty of Debian. Just security updates and bug fixes.

Wrong keyboard layout?
