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

But why on bloddy Fedora? Donā€™t know know EOS has its own Mate DE?

Iā€™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 thereā€™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 itā€™s 32bit, as Iā€™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. Itā€™s a shockingly decent little computer to play with. Not so bad for free. I tried and couldnā€™t get Peppermint to boot from USB either. Any other worthwhile 32bit distros to try?

Some 32-bit options:

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

https://www.bodhilinux.com/w/selecting-the-correct-iso-image/#Legacy_32-bit_only

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

Itā€™s not the most beautiful operating system, so I wouldnā€™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.
