Also not far from me. I think I have taken a very very similar photo near Venice.

Hmm… Someone made a nice video of us, do you know that guy by any chance? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m aware that mate is in the arch repos, but I want to go outside the arch family, just for awhile.

Very late sorry! But I realised there’s no brightness module on the bar? Did you remove it or did it not show up?

isnt this only working on notebooks?

Yep! Needs a different way to control monitor brightness! Pudge has already clarified!

A buddy of mine gave me an ancient 2007 macbook. I think it’s 32bit, as I’ve only been able to get MX 32bit and Debian 32bit to work thus far. I tried Debian KDE and it was just awful slow. MX xfce seems to be doing well so far though. It’s a shockingly decent little computer to play with. Not so bad for free. I tried and couldn’t get Peppermint to boot from USB either. Any other worthwhile 32bit distros to try?

Some 32-bit options:

It’s not on the list above, but I’ve used Bodhi Linux (Legacy edition) to boot up some very, very old computers, when nothing else would work.

The Legacy 5.1.0 image utilizes an older Linux kernel that is optimized for old (15+ years old) hardware

It’s not the most beautiful operating system, so I wouldn’t recommend it for use on a daily basis. However, it was just what I needed to recover the data from, and then scrub, some (nearly) prehistoric IDE hard drives.

I have Archlinux32 (Pentium 4) installed in an old Aspire 5610 with 1GB of ram which is still in use and running reliably.

It was not as hard to install as I thought it would be. I found reading [HowTo] Install Manjaro using CLI only alongside the Arch install instructions was helpful.

Expanding some options for the PlasmaConfigSaver - here’s a rather cool Nordic (as the weather here has shot up to a very humid 36 celcius).
