    Have you ever tried any modern Linux desktop distribution?

    Yeah, the last one I tried was Lubuntu Jammy Jellyfish a few months ago.

    Pop was the one I tried first, but the ancient laptop I was using at the time couldn’t hack it, so I went with the ultra light weight version of Ubuntu in stead.

    Very little worked out of the box and almost everything took a lot more fiddling and searching and asking for advice to get to work. For example, I never did manage to make bottles work after over a week of trying on and off, doing exactly what the documentation and advice told me to.

    I haven’t gotten to the gaming part of my Tiny11 test, so if it fails that, I might give Pop another chance now that I have a much newer one, but Lubuntu is definitely not as hassle free as Linux enthusiasts keep promising that all their favorite distros are…

      Oh man Lubuntu takes me back. I used it back when it still used LXDE, which was actually relevant back then.
