Catbird Linux Helps You Produce

Whether you're writing code, blogging, creating videos, or photos for your online shops, Catbird Linux has the tools you need.

Catbird Linux is a live environment you boot from a flash drive, which runs on new and old PCs. It is Debian Sid at its best, with a snappy tiling window manager (DWM) and tuned for high performance. It is full of media editing and creation tools.

Catbird Linux also has Python, Lua, Go, and other software languages you would want for data analysis tools. Scrape the web, build databases, take notes, and master your world.

System update and all that...

I have the strong feeling that if I don't update from Windows 7 very soon, I'm getting a strong ass malware lol.

Windows 11 is known for pink soup and crashes, but I will still need to install it for uni and work.

Windows 10 is already obsolete, so I don't want to go for that because in a few years I'm going to be in the same situation again.

Linux Mint refuses to dual boot with Windows. I had to unplug its SSD.

Kubuntu does allow dual booting, but SimPE refuses to work on it for me, and I really need it.

I've seen some tech-savvy users recommend Fedora (@brandinotbroke in particular comes to my mind!) but have we got our tools (SimPE etc) to work on it? is it a good distro for Linux beginners, in your opinion?

I could just disconnect my w7 from the internet but I need it for mods and cc making. :(

Tech deities of simblr, what do you recommend for me? What is a distro that I can use well with Sims 2 and its tools, that can still dual boot with Windows?

....... I should also mention that both Mint and Kubuntu caused audio buzzing 😭 if you have tips on that I'll be eternally grateful !!!!!

Just being yourself is amazing advice until it stops being a recommendation and becomes a requirement to keep living.

today's Funny Linux Moment: sometimes discord knows it can be updated before there's actually an update for it in whatever Arch repo you're using, so you have to go into the discord settings.json file (which is just like. there. in your home folder) and tell it "don't worry about updates. you don't get updated anymore" and THEN it'll launch. ????why is this manual...

ok y'all I'm switching from Windows OS with a new laptop soon got any suggestions? not going Mac or Google since they're just as bad if not worse, thinking about Linux mint or Zorin

yesterday I was working on the command line and wrote out a command that, had I made the same typo I'd just made a couple minutes prior, would have deleted my entire /etc folder. I was already sudoed so there would have been no stopgap and my last backup was longer ago than I'd like to admit. I am very smart and good at things and can be trusted with superuser access on my own devices

genuinely, why do we have to live in an age where everything sucks when we could live in an age where things are nice and just work like they're supposed to?

Q4OS – I setup for myself Linux with Trinity

I setup a Linux for myself. For not powerful system. With my Acer Extensa. It has two cores with 1.5 ghz. And 4gb of ram. I select in result – Q4OS. As light Linux. For not powerful systems. With its own graphic environment. It is easier, lighter. It has a name Trinity. Firm development from system’s authors. Special for this purpose – to system not to require lots of resources. And it is very good for me.

With author`s website you to download distributive. It is written with flash as a boot. One little moment, check carefully. There are, also, Live CD images. It is for run system from device. Like flash or compact disk. And, there are for setup, install. So, for install, you need this version to download. I was not accurate and first, download Live Cd. And, I see – I cannot find option to install. But, you can run system at once! I was surprised. I see what is it. And, I start to understand, what is it all about.

Installation process. It is simple and easy. Nothing tricky. Nothing hard. This is good. Installation is friendly to the user. We are moving with steps of installation. And after - system, at last, launching. It is, already, installed. It is good to check updates. What is here. All is automatically checked by itself. It has a name packages for Linux. Lists with packages. You just need to start a certain purpose program. This means network is required. Without internet you cannot to do updates.

And, later, with manager packages. You start it and see what it can show you. So, it has lots of different. I am not expert with Linux. I take it as a probe. I setup for myself a whole pack, preset for packages. Little game. It is Chocolate Doom with some pack. So, this is not only Chocolate Doom. And, also, some files included. To have all included. So, it includes FreeDoom. And this is comfortable! So, you can start to play at once. To play. Levels for FreeDoom are unique. Even, its own graphics. But, mainly, it is same Doom.

Once again, I am not expert with Linux. And, better say, I try to try this with my own. But funny thing it is. Installer is looking like it is MS DOS.  So, it has such install line. And, system itself. It reminds Windows. Level Windows Xp or even like Windows 98, maybe. Such background, similar color. And windows forms.

Interesting moment! Visually, I like a lot this Trinity scheme for desktop. About functions it is very good. I am very surprised. There are lots of things here. And main - there package manager. Using it to update. And install. And this is comfortable. For start – it is good way.

Visual side looks like something Windows 98 with plus. I like a lot this visual side. Functions are good. And now it is my first launch.  I little about to play Doom.  I visit websites with browser. First launch was successful! And positive!

iron (hardware) and programs. From time to time i restore computers, retro computers. Try retro soft. Check some programs. And write about all of these.

Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

FUCK ME I FOUND OUT HOW TO GIVE MORE SPACE TO LINUX.

AGH.

Really truly the problem with internet addiction is that I need it for all kinds of shit. I can't just quit it like I could smoking or drinking and not have alcohol or cigarettes in my house ever*, I need my phone. I need the internet. So I have my phone and need to actively fight not to grab it all the time.

Even worse when I do need to use it to look smth up, sure I can use extensions and stuff to block tumblr and twitter and youtube but sadly the internet (or even just my phone/laptop) is so full of distractions, I can't eliminate them all - like just now I wanted to look at a picture I'd taken of an info I needed but my pictures are also full of recordings of my cheerleading team so I got distracted looking at our past stunt successes and fuckups.

(*disclaimer since this is the piss on the poor site, I'm not saying internet addiction is worse or harder than alcohol or nicotine addiction, just pointing out this one difference. It might be more difficult in this one aspect, obviously there are a lot of aspects in which alcohol and nicotine are much worse (like them actually being physically addictive substances))
