HI @Horizon_Innovations@linuxrocks.online

Can someone tell me why some linux distros seem "lightweight and brisk" while others seem "heavy and somewhat slugish" although they'd have the same kernel and apps installed?

So the Guix won the vote! Excellent. It doesn't boot on my main machine - haha. I have another machine I'll install it on, and one this one I'll put void, which does boot but has a strange error 🤷‍♂️

Little experiment yesterday. #Calculatelinux decided the #libreoffice wasn't going to play, froze then blank! So, removed libre-office, installed #guix package manager, installed libre-office with said package manager and it works fine!
Calculate Linux 0: guix manager 1
A temp work around until I decide which distro to move to. Had thought of #funtoo but...

Quick question: Which Linux distro should I use/try out now?
I'll be writing a review.
Any questions? Ask away 😀

Ok, ok. I digressed from main subject of being here. My apologies.
I will now continue with techie stuff & leave C19 for other places.🤔
I wish you all good health & functioning tech stuff 😁

Over the next few weeks I'll be building and setting up a nas to stream our music from to the car (to drop spotify); a home server for Nextcloud & our websites; and maybe an email server. All on SBC's.

I've ordered a new screen and covers for my #pinephone. It's actually running pretty well at the moment even with a cracked screen.
For those interested, running PMOS edge phosh, updated every other day. Main comms apps installed, matrix, xmpp, telegram, a couple of browsers and thats about it.

I've been using #calculatelinux for some years & very happy with it to. However, the Gentoo it is based on is now playing up. There is one app (icu) stopping so many apps from installing/upgrading/working! I came across this when #Libreoffice failed to start. Fortunately I have 3 other systems I can use!

I expect the folks at CalulateLinux will sort this out quicker than Gentoo too!

Will I go back to Calculate Linux? Probably. But for now I'll be using #artixlinux
