Re: What distros have you been testing recently?

Ive been testing Neon and it works very well with my Lenovo M600 Tiny but has a drawback. KDE 6 uses alot more memory than KDE 5 does. KDE 6 is using around 1gb-1.4gb versus KDE 5 that uses 477mb-700mb. It surprises me as Neon is a pretty minimalist distro and I dont have alot of extra programs inst...

OpenMandriva 24.07 simply wouldnt install and I also had issues with Mint 22 XFCE so those are a no go. Antix 23.1 was a nother distro I didnt like the GUI and the overall workflow. Feren OS, Q4OS KD...

Re: Switzerland makes open source software mandatory for public sector

Its not just Switzerland as France has begun a move in this direction, the German state is also doing this and the European Union is also shifting in this direction. So far the United States is lagging behind many other countries with a move to open source.
