minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink13•8 months agoa simple install of the good old LMDE, everything worked FLAWLESSLY out of the box. It runs even smoother than vanilla Debian
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•8 months agoI’ve been going with Spiral Linux lately when I need a VM for something (works really well in a VM), but I might have to give LMDE a try!
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink2•edit-28 months agoit you are looking for an OS that just runs, doesn’t receive tons of updates and stay stable as a rock… LMDE will make you fall in love
