I'm setting up a Libre Le Potato and I have some choices of Linux distro:
Of those who have experience with any of these distros, are there any that either have issues running the IDE software locally or that are particularly well suited to the task?
To help others avoid that WtF moment:
This is what I am using. I have used earlier versions for years.
me@me:~$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20.3 (Una)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 20.3"
VERSION_ID="20.3"
HOME_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.linuxmint.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide — Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide documentation"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.linuxmint.com/"
VERSION_CODENAME=una
UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal
This came from the Terminal command "cat /etc/os-release"
I love Linux mint, but Libre doesn't have a distro for it on Le Potato. Do you know of one?
In Re Ubuntu: if you are running V16 and decide to upgrade to V18, you do not retain existing software and files. you start with a fresh format and you have to reinstall all software and restore all files from back up.
the image viewer does not show you thumbnails
IMHO that does not make it up to stupid. That is YUGO grade customer service.
You're pointing this out as a potential disadvantage to using Ubuntu in general?
Just clarifying.
I'm just stating a fact. It's still a better choice than giving Bill Gates more money.
Not to worry just because Libre doesn't have a distro for it on Le Potato you can download it from probably several thousand locations around the globe. Download it and put it on a DVD or Thumb drive and try to boot it up. If it runs it will probably install.
I'll give it a shot, I've never had much luck with SBCs when I stray from their distros.
Thanks for the tip.
