Bunsen Labs Beryllium - Observations
I guess it's time to get started with this. One of the first things I noticed is that Thunar is the default file manager, and it sucks rocks. Couldn't even find my NAS on the network, despite my clicking on Windows Network -- and my NAS is an smb server (as well as an nfs server). No worries, though ... Dolphin to the rescue. It easilly found my NAS, and opened the folder that contains my setup files. It also brought with it a bunch of KDE dependencies, of course, but it's well worth that in order to have the world's best Linux file manager to work with.
I installed my bashrcAdditions, my file of aliases including unitFiles. That told me that there are only 35 unit files enabled by Beryllium upon startup, which is on the low side of medium among the distros I've explored. As always, that's ten times Solus' 3 or 4, but still, it doesn't take long to startup or shutdown this distro.
As I've been asked to do, here's a look at its neofetch statistics:
Oops! Looks like I need to fix my typo in the hostname. Thankfully, that's easy to do.
This has been going much better than I was afraid it would. Apparently I've remembered more of Lithium than I thought I did. I've installed Thunderbird and added two email accounts, and installed and configured Vivaldi. I have much to do yet, and there's not a lot of day left, so I suspect I won't be posting about this again until tomorrow.
