Never tried it myself, but you could turn Ubuntu into ā€œkind of a rolling releaseā€:

PopOS! was the distro that convinced me to use linux as a daily driver.
It’s always my nr1 recommendation for people who want to try Linux.

Gnome 3.38 is not playing nice with ARM at all. Got tired of fighting Gnome every six months. So I went looking for something that’s very stable. Good ol’ Cinnamon. Nothing fancy but always seems to work.
Cinamon

Cinnamon2

But, as Htop and System Monitor show, it seems to be using a lot of CPU. Might have to re-consider.

Actually, I have tried Rolling Rhino (and still have it) and it isn’t bad either. It rolls just fine, and seems to be as usable as any. So far all it takes is a change to your ā€˜update’ alias… sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt autoremove… so it cleans up after itself :grin:

That sounds great! Thanks for sharing your experience with Rolling Rhino! Currently I don’t have any Ubuntu installed on any machine but if/when I will have one I might consider rolling it with :rhinoceros:.

@ricklinux you could follow this post to install it then just replace the French words you want on the conky file, you could also change colors, font etc…

You might like the one I did in a Deepin thread a while back for starters - and we can go anywhere with it from there! :grin:

XFCE with a plank bar and some conky. I made the move to bare metal a month or so ago and I don’t miss any files yet, so I guess I did a good job of moving everything. I also don’t miss win10 at all, so that’s a very good thing! Posting this before I go all in on BSPWM and blow it all up :smiley:
