Perhaps because some people prefer operating systems that:
- Don’t spy on them
- Don’t start random diagnostic services taking up most of the CPU
- Won’t bloat them with a pile of programs requiring
Slint can be installed once booted by use of the setup command. Once done
you answer questions about your hardware and preferences and once enough
of those get answered, the installation happens. Can take 10 to 30
minutes to happen once it starts.

Hi,
answer in line.
Foreword: I hesitated to answer: as I already wrote Slint is not an option for
ARM CPUs. Anyway, here goes for x86_64 aka AMD64 users...

Heya Billy, welcome to the list
I'm going to also suggest Linux Mint Mate, which Rastislav has linked to
but I'm also going to explain why I feel like it's a good choice.
When you boot it, it will put you in a desktop much like Windows or Mac
so if you are coming from those devices it
If you don't enjoy learning new skills, then Linux may not be a good
choice, unless you have someone available to set it up, customize and
maintain it for you.
I disagree. This certainly was the case in the late 1990's and very
early 2000's, when Linux was pretty much just DOS on steroids and
for me to tun Linux with windows on the same computer system?,

Hello,
I am sorry but Slint is not available for an ARM architecture, only x86_64

That's why slint has its own email list. Slackware is no more difficult
than most other distros. The https://www.slackbook.org site has
documentation on slackware and slint has a doc command any user can run to
do some slint-specific reading.
The vanilla slackware would work on a handful of
I'm guessing bistro was autocurrupt's doing.
Anyways, Slint is a offshoot of Slackware, a distro notorious for
being difficult for new Linux users to wrangle, and because of that
Slint is a bit polarizing among Blind Linux Users. If I'm not
mistaken, the name Slint comes from Slackware
for Windows

Hello,

so you can fully focus on discovering the open platform.

Slint may be a better bet. With slint those running on command line
operating systems have a choice to start in console which is command line
or graphical which is desktop like windows. Even if you start in console
you can go into graphical if you need it.
Unfortunately we have either a garbage

Since Raspberry pi runs on arm the stormux list

Good morning everyone. I am not new to Lennox. But I have a new arm based
computer. I am trying to decide between two distributions. Which is going to be
easier to install orca on? Two arch 64 meaning the arch architecture or 64 bit
arm processor. Or fedora, because I remember using fedora many

In your case is blind defined as no useable vision including no ability to
see light?
What operating system or operating systems did you use before Linux?
Answers to these two questions ought to help the list get you better
