Sure, i don’t see why it wouldn’t :slight_smile:

What’s on board btw?

My prediction is yes, it will install and work. I could be wrong, of course.

Boots the September release no problem. Everything works so far. I’ll pull an inxi after installation.

All appears to work so far uneventfully :partying_face:

So it is an old dual core AMD with integrated graphics and 4 gib ram. Works fine in i3

Not that bad :slight_smile:
You can run KDE easily in there :yum:

BTW I use i3wm :laughing:
Seriously though i have been using i3 on the main rig for a few weeks now. With this I can play around with .config files and then move them over to the main machine.

but…but…i3 is soooo bloated…One would want to check something like dwm :slight_smile:

Check your journalctl -p 3 -xb just to make sure :wink:

Yeah i remember when starting out, we’ve learned this command simultaneously with @antechdesigns for good on Deepin’s bug tracker…that’s most useful command out there :upside_down_face:
