XFce makes them snappy like when they where purchased back in the days?

At this point you could have moved them to Mint LMDE, which has GUI tools to to pretty much anything, and it is essentially Debian with Cinnamon and some extra tools built by the Mint team

Yup

Micro$oft Teams

Thanks, I’ll look into that!

I have asked the same question on Reddit and a Fedora maintainer has provided some additional info that goes against what you, me and the general public thinks in terms of Stream being a “rolling release”

CentOS Stream definitely has releases. Stream is a build of the major-release branch of RHEL. Every RHEL minor release is just a snapshot of Stream that gets continued maintenance.

The confusion around this came from some early descriptions of Stream from Red Hat staff, who called it a “rolling release.” And one of the reasons I made those diagrams that compare RHEL to other releases is that from the point of view of someone who works on RHEL – which is a set of feature-stable releases – the idea that Stream is rolling relative to RHEL makes sense. But that terminology is very confusing, because from the point of view of people who work anywhere else in the Free Software ecosystem, Stream is just a normal stable release, because most of the Free Software community isn’t building feature-stable release series like Red Hat is.

I’ve seen a number of Red Hat engineers call the use of that term a mistake, and they don’t use it any more

Opensure Tumbleweed is more like Fedora Rawhide, they get the absolute bleeding Edge. CentOS stream is downstream of Fedora, so you get less newer packages

Isn’t CentOS Stream equivalent to Ubuntu LTS in terms of stability? They both tend to use packages that have been somewhat tested alas not to the point of Debian/RHEL

It is to match them based on how cutting edge and stable they are

Thank you!

Can you still install extensions in GNOME? I hate the defaults

Why?

Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them

That is the way

What?

It is not Linux per se lacking support. This is due to those that make apps/games. And, in fairness, to the fact that dev in Linux has been a bit of a mess in the last few years, with all the Wayland & o shananigans

Yeah but the current version is based on Bookworm. In other words a lot of drivers are included on it and it is really plug and play. I have I installed it on a 2012 Air and everything just worked out of the box

I have LDME on an 2012 Air and, oh boy, it is flawless. Works straight out of the box

You should have tried LMDE. That is the best way to get Debian and also ease of install

Perfect is the enemy of good. TrueNAS has been happy and running non stop for 6 months now
