Five distros for “fast” machines
Not content to just sit back and learn tmux alongside cone, I also spent a little time over the past few days messing with a few other distros, both on this machine and a much faster one.
The motive in part was to seek out a few ultralight systems that might start up nice with the Mebius, although it was clear after a few seconds that some of them weren’t “light” in the way I need “light” to be. They might have worked well on a machine as old as this, but there was no way in heaven or Helsinki that they were going to work on something much slower.
Personally, I have no problem with that. In fact, I have a history of clumping together my own Windows-ish setups, and turning them loose on the world. And it’s not such a dead ringer that anyone would feel somehow violated for using this over the default pink-orange-black arrangement that comes with Gnome Ubuntu. One day the forums will learn to get past the superficial points of what your default desktop looks like.
