Other Interesting Distros, Part 4

brent

WetGeek The mate screenshot is awful. every png is an un-uploadable 3.5MB....the budgie one was awesome always averaged 880KB. the bunsen one is great.
The app decisions for Bunsen are very interesting, solid, and well thought-out. I don't see that everywhere I hop. Not thrilled with Geany but am OK with the rest. I know you have to have your Dolphin and I'm glad its flexible for you. At the end of the day it's probably easier to navigate the landscape of Ultramarine, but as a true #2, I think I can get used to BunsenLabs.
On to Nitrogen!
yes--all is "several layers deep" for sure

Yep, that works for me, too. And I've never felt this way about any of the other non-Solus distros I've seen.

Pretty sure Beryllium will be my #2 until Bunsen comes out with Uranium, or Plutonium, or whatever's next.

I almost hate to ask after you got "settled", have you tried antiX? https://antixlinux.com/

It'll be called Unobtanium and available shortly after the heat death of the universe
🤣

Next would be Boron

WetGeek

murbert have you tried antiX

According to my ISOs share, not yet. Am I missing something that's not to be missed?

WetGeek

murbert have you tried antiX

I'm trying it now, but I'm not getting anywhere with the installer. Any ideas?

murbert I'm settled🙂 but I'm keeping my Ventoy full. Who knows this Bunsen fun could last a year or a lifetime. Solus Mate is really stable and dialed in now. I've found what I'm looking for after a long hunt.
[sees a shiny new distro with bells and whistles and colors and fireworks; erases Bunsen, repartitions].

PSA: I just finished watching Top Gun Maverick, and I'm pretty sure it's the best movie I've ever seen. It's on Paramount+ for free now, but however you watch it, it'll be well worth it. And on Paramount+, it's followed by Mission Impossible Fallout. Two Tom Cruz epics in one day. My, oh my!

WetGeek Film reviews thread next?

Staudey Next would be Boron

That would have made the first one Hydrogen, no? I completely missed that one.

stalebrim Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise most of the time and he does it well. But one of his performances struck me as a career pinnacle--way outside his comfort zone and to me his best acting: T.J. Mackey ("Seduce and Destroy") in an unappreciated ensemble movie called Magnolia. He out-acted Philip Seymour Hoffman in the movie. That's incredibly hard to do.

WetGeek you entered 'y' I presume?
Maybe the "root" parition it seeks not formatted the way antix likes it? or maybe it's labeling it/referring to it in a venacular your're not used to? (happens to me). size problem would be another guess (too small)? I've seen a permissions problem in an install so probably not that? I wonder what etc etc etc means in this context?

murbert

WetGeek no

WetGeek

brent you entered 'y' I presume?

N was the default (yN) so I just accepted that.

They even had a "Deuterium" point release for it https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=3288

WetGeek in a VM there's no consequence for saying Y is there?

Probably not, other than I'd need to do that partitioning. And I'm watching the conclusion of Mission Impossible Fallout right now. 😊

WetGeek a true double feature in the afternoon. rock on. I'm glad those aren't things from the past!

OMG: Now they're showing Rogue Nation!
