  6. These "Linux" (or similar) OS installation to somewhat older hardware videos that various youtubers make are cool and there are some extra things that could be done in terms of "taking for a spin" the computer (laptop or desktop or server or whatever). So for example, opening an open-source game (a few in 2D like 'Wesnoth' or "OpenTTD" or "FreeCol" and another in 3D like say 'Tremulous' or "SuperTuxKart" and "OOLite") with MangoHUD to show stats, but then also a 7Zip (or similar) benchmark but also a RAM benchmark using say (UBCD) UltimateBootCD which has DOS and Linux and BSD software on it. even though the RAM benchmark is basic in appearance, it still does the job. Installing an extra stick of RAM is a classic move when putting Linux on a computer, so a (new versus old RAM configuration) "before and after" benchmark is a cool idea. The Phoronix-Test-Suite is another (as with LibreOffice) way of doing open-Benchmarking but for office suite stuff. Another benchmark could be iPXE boot (e.g. first using plop-linux and UBCD) from an ethernet port (be it USB to ethernet dongle or existing NIC) to piggyback boot a different OS 'distro' like Gentoo or BSD.
    My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining… Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

  7. I have Samsung N148 Netbook with atom cpu and 2gb of ram, the ssd is 15x kingston 256 gb, I am thinking about the best light distro for it, lmint mate or this lubuntu? i love windows a lot and i think lmint is more familiar as gui, but even i did all that, i still can't fathom partitioning in linux systems, and the root thing, can't we just have a c and d drives? what should i do if i want a c and a d? should i create a swap file 10 gb then 2 primary each one is ext4? then make them both / (root)? or the one i will name c should make the root (/) and the root drive is the one with the system on? and will having a d drive will preserve data whenever i think to change the system instead of wiping out all the ssd? is this how it works in linux system? i want the d drive for all personal files, and the c for th os whatever it is, even if i want to change OSes, i need the d to stay as is preserving all my personal file, does this netbook even worth trying or the 2 gb ram and the single core atom would make internet surfing a living hell?

  9. installing was not possible from USB-A but was necessary to done from micro USB (with reduction).

    For linux mint xfce I have setup partitions this way:

    mmcblk1p1 – EFI – 256MB

    mmcblk1p2 – ext2 – 256MB mount as /boot

    mmcblk1p3 – ext4 – 47.5GB mount as /

    mmcblk1p4 – swap – rest of space, but not less than 2GB

    install the "device for bootloader installation" should be the EFI partition.

    In BIOS, go to "Boot" and re-enable Secure Boot, then go to "Security" and select "Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing." From the provided menu, navigate through HDD1EFIubuntu and choose "grubia32.efi" then give it a name in the next prompt (whatever name you want — it'll only show up in BIOS) then click OK.

  14. I can't connect to the internet while trying to install lubuntu on my old acer. using a wired LAN, the system says WIRED connection active. However, when I open Firefox, it says there is no internet connection.

  17. I have an old Acer that I upgraded to windows 10 recently not knowing that it would eat virtually all of the RAM. Someone recommended I switch over to Linux/Ubuntu, so this video is super helpful. Tomorrow morning I am going to try to make the switch, wish me luck. Thanks again!

  18. Nicely presented, no wasted time, how to install Lubuntu on an 32bit Acer video. Except you promised links in the description and I can't seem to see them. This is especially bad because I can't seem to find ANY 32 bit Lubuntu distros, especially anything as new as you describe. Please share if you don't mind (my old *.iso's are 64bit).

  19. ive been trying to install linux on this exact kind of computer, but be it antiX or puppy linux, the desktop environment always freezes the screen! Does it have any particular kind of video drivers? what should i do?

  21. So I tried using Win32DiskImager and it corrupted my USB drive that I was using. After attempting to use the program to write Lubuntu the USB split from having just the (E:) destination to having an (E:) and an (F:) destination, both of which were write protected. I watched a tutorial (found on the Win32DiskImager site under its reviews) to fix this and was able to get the USB drive back fortunately. However, I seem to be stuck with trying to write Lubuntu to the USB… do you know of a way to fix this issue?

  24. friend, how long did it take to start Lubuntu after you clicked to install? It's been about 30 minutes since I did that and still nothing, the Lubuntu logo light even stopped spinning. Is it normal to take this long?

  26. Thanks for that! On my side, I got stuck on the bios after restart. Not sure if it's because I didn't remove the usb stick before restarting or because something wrong with the partitioning. I followed another tutorial specific to lubuntu 22.04 that was saying you need to create a UEFI/Boot partition. I reinstalled, shutdown, removed the stick and restarted and it worked perfectly. Any idea if it's due to USB stick still inside at restarting time or if it's due to new lubuntu version behaviour or if it's just me that messed it up ? In any case, your video gave me the confidence to give it a try so thanks a lot !

  28. My friend I did this for my Acer, but it wont allow it to show up as a boot option from HDD yes I changed the boot order after a successful installation,but basically grub is not showing up, I think it's because I did not create an EFI partition for Linux mint. Maybe older laptops don't understand booting from an ext partition ?! I will retry the installation with EFI and see if it helps. ALso I have to mention I kept windows 10 which as dual boot. Seems that windows immediately takes over the booting process as well.
