@tuxedocomputers His Linux Bio: #Knoppix -> #Ubuntu -> #openSUSE -> next? 🙃

Michael, have fun @tuxedocomputers

Seht mal her über was ich mal wieder gestolpert bin.

Wenn dieser olle PC-Vertriebler damals bloß gewusst hätte dass seine Billigheimerei mir einen PC ohne Windows zu verkaufen dazu führen würde, dass ich später nichts anderes mehr nutze?
Hätte er es dann trotzdem gemacht? War ja langfristig geschäftsschädigend für die Branche.
Ich könnte heute glücklicher Windowsnutzer sein!
Doch mein erster sellbstgekaufter PC kam ohne OS und mit einer Linux Live CD ... und der Rest ist Geschichte.

Open-Xchange Server LiveCD – a live Linux distribution based on Knoppix, which is based on Debian, and which features pre-installed Open-Xchange Server. https://archiveos.org/open-xchange-server-livecd/ #linux #debian #knoppix

Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.

I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.

View the list here: https://codeberg.org/resplendent606/terminal-tilt/src/branch/main/docs/debian-distros.md

Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

I love using Debian. I think it is so interesting that so many distros have been or currently are based on Debian. While I prefer vanillia Debian, I wanted to list all of the Debian based distros (non-Ubuntu) I know of and categorize them based on what makes them unique.

Daily Drivers (Ease of use):

LMDE - Linux Mint + Debian, no Ubuntu, Mint polish
MX Linux - MXTools is helpful
Deepin - Beautiful, preconfigured desktop, from China.
Peppermint_OS – Lightweight, cloud integrated, snappy
Neptune - Polished KDE Plasma on stable Debian w/newer kernels.
SpiralLinux – Pure Debian with modern defaults (Btrfs, ZRAM).
SolydXK – Simplified XFCE/KDE desktops for stability.
Lingmo OS / Mauna Linux / Br OS - Recent, beautiful desktops (China/Brazil)

Modern/Atomic (Immutable):

Vanilla OS - Atomic updates, can run Fedora/Arch apps via Apx.
blendOS - Atomic, lets you choose DE (KDE, XFCE, etc), can install applications from other Linux distros.
Nitrux - Immutable, no systemd (OpenRC), Maui shell, immutable, heavy reliance on AppImage

High Performance and Gaming:

Siduction - Rolling release based on Debian Sid.
SparkyLinux - Great for gaming, newer drivers.
PikaOS - Gaming with high-performance kernel opimizations.

Multimedia/Creative:

AV Linux (MX Edition) – Preconfigured w/low-latency kernel for audio production.

Minimalist:

BashCore - Ultra minimalist, branding free CLI environment.
Slax - Modular, tiny, runs from a USB stick.

Performance and Old Hardware (Lightweight):

antiX - No systemd, runs on a toaster (256MB RAM)
CrunchBang++ (#!++)- Minimalist, Debian + Openbox, continuation of original Crunchbang.
BunsenLabs - minimalist OpenBox, keyboard centric.
Window Maker Live - 90s NeXTSTEP look, fast, retro.
Puppy Linux (DPup) - Runes entirely on RAM, fast.
Elive - Enlightenment desktop, high-end looks for 20 year old hardware.
Damn Small Linux - Stays under 700MB.
wattOS - Low power consumption and simplicity.
Q4OS – Trinity desktop, can mimic Windows XP/7.
Commodore OS Vision - Retro computing aesthetic.

Security, Privacy, and Stealth:

Qubes OS - Isolates everything inside Xen VMs, has Debian and Fedora as default templates.
Tails - Amnesic "Snowden" OS, leaves no trace on hardware.
Whonix - Extreme privacy via dual-VM gateway/workstation.
Kodachi - Hardened, pre-routed live OS alternative to Tails.
Septor – Surf the web anonymously.
Kicksecure - Hardened Debian layer (the base for Whonix).

IT and SysAdmin Toolbox:

Kali Linux/Parrot OS - "Hackerman" suites for penetration testing.
GParted Live/Dr. Parted - Disk partitioning
Grml/Finnix/Knoppix - "Oh Shit Buttons", emergency ktis for broken PCs.
SysLinuxOS/Kaisen - Built for network admins and system integrators.

Servers, Cloud, and Self Hosting:

Proxmox VE - Server, machine host for VMs
TrueNAS Scale - NAS, built for ZFS storage and applications.
OpenMediaVault - Turns old hardwrae into NAS
umbrelOS/StartOS/YunoHost - self-host your own cloud.
Univention (UCS) - Professional Debian for corporate identity mangement.

Network & Radio Engineering:

Live Raizo – Specialized lab environment for network admins to simulate and experiment with complex network topologies (integrated with GNS3).
Skywave Linux – Built for Software Defined Radio (SDR) and shortwave enthusiasts. Preconfigured with specific drivers and software needed to communicate on the airwaves.
VyOS – Network OS for routers and firewalls.

Embedded, IoT, and Media:

Raspberry Pi OS - OS specifically for Raspberry Pi
DietPi - lightweight, optimized base for hobbyist boards.
OSMC - Turn hardware into dedicated Kodi media center.
LinuxCNC - Controls heavy machinery and 3D printers.

Mobile Distros:

Mobian - Debian for phones and tablets.
PureOS - FSF endorsed, famous for Librem 5 convergence.
Droidian - Allows Debian to run on standard Android hardware.
LuneOS - Spiritual successor to Palm webOS.
FuriOS – OS for the FuriLabs FLX1, includes Waydroid.

Philosopy and Geopolitics:

Devuan - Protest against systemd
Endless OS/Emmabuntüs - Built for schools and developing world.
Astra/BOSS/Pardus/UOS - State sponsored distros (RU,IN,TR,CN).
openKylin - Community version of China's Kylin OS.

You could also consider Debian Pureblends, like Debian Med and Debian Edu.

My #linux distributions history:

1995: #slackware, my first linux experience, in my campus lab as a student of information engineering, also install this on my PC using dozens of floppy disk.

2000: #redhatlinux (not #RHEL), mainly used as my cybercafe router and servers. Also try #knoppix on my PC occasionally

2003: Fedora Core Linux (called as #Fedora Linux now) as a continuation of of #redhat linux. Fedora was also the first time linux was used as my primary OS on my PC and laptop.

@echo_xc
Reminds me: Have you heard of #knoppix? The one-floppy-disk gui linux distro?

As the fate would have it, now I stumbled upon @nickbearded

Nick, interesting project you have there. But again, just like in case of #Knoppix why the hesitation to share to build scripts? Is it simply not convenient?

"No source code, build scripts, or internal configuration files are distributed or made public."

Am I wrong, or was Knoppix 9.1 DVD the *last* LiveCD Linux distro that came with Wine preinstalled?

Such a gem, boot and go, with a ton of apps ready out of the box. Then from v9.2 on, it became exclusive to a German IT magazine... and, apparently, the German language too.

Curiously, even though it’s all *open source*, good luck actually finding it.
What are those Germans hiding, source code or secret sausages? 😅🥨

Happy 25th Birthday to Knoppix, one of the first #CD and #USB bootable #Linux distros! 🐧🎂🎉

Based on @debian, Knoppix is a historic part of #opensource, and a classic community favorite. Thanks Klaus Knopper and the Knoppix community for helping shape the future of #FOSS!

Happy 25th Birthday, KNOPPIX!

KNOPPIX is a live Linux distribution based on Debian that is designed to be run from either the USB flash drive or the CD-ROM. It was one of the first popular live Linux distributions that was made by a German Linux consultant, Klaus Knopper. Currently, KNOPPIX contains open-source software that are bundled with the live distribution, along with some of the proprietary software.

The latest version available for general download is KNOPPIX 9.1, which was released on January 25th, 2021. Since then, 9.2 and 9.3 were released exclusively to the subscribers of Linux Magazin German as a physical DVD in April 2021 and June 2022 under DELUG-DVD.

The very first version of KNOPPIX was released as version 1.4 on September 30th, 2000, which marks the start of the project. Since then, various versions, including the remarkable 7.2.0 released June 24th, 2013, were made.

So, we are celebrating the 25th birthday of KNOPPIX!

Here’s the version history of KNOPPIX (source: Wikipedia):

The latest version that is available for public download is 9.1, which was released to bring improvements and new features, compared to the previous versions. It also includes Chromium for web browsing, as well as all the other software that was bundled in previous Knoppix versions. It uses the LXDE desktop environment, which is suitable for lightweight system usage to make it suitable for old PCs.

If we managed to get our hands on the very first version of KNOPPIX, we’ll make a review article on it as soon as we get it working. We are open for any links that point to KNOPPIX 1.4. The file names were knoppix-1.4-30-9-2000-DE.iso and knoppix-1.4-30-9-2000-ALS.iso.

Tell us your experience of KNOPPIX in the comments section; we can’t wait to hear them from you!

Wenn ich Knoppix runterladen wollte, aber den Umweg über das ISo-Bild nicht gehen kann, ist hier dann etwas geeignetes dabei?

http://www.knoppix.org/

Grund: ich kann ein Programm auf einem Rechner auf ein externes Laufwerk laden, aber nicht Programme wie Rufus ausführen, um es dann ausführbar dort zu installieren. Ich habe nur auf meinem (kaputten) Laptop Adminrechte.

Bitte sprecht in einfachen Worten wie mit einem Kind.

In Jülich wurden 10 Millionen Notebooks zusammengestöpselt


um einen Superrechner zu emulieren und mit dem erwärmten Kühlwasser ein Kleinkraftwerk zu betreiben, hieß es in den WDR-Nachrichten. Andere gehen nur von mehr als "fünf Millionen modernen Notebooks oder PCs" aus https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/gadgets/supercomputer-europas-erster-exascale-supercomputer-in-juelich-stehen-a-c0a374c9-32ec-4296-b563-13363497d904 .
Egal wieviele: Ist das nicht ein Riesenfortschritt? https://www.fz-juelich.de/de/jupiter


Meinen Thinkpad, Baujahr 2005, wollten sie nicht haben. Der läuft auch hier mit Debian 12 noch ganz passabel.
2010 hab ich den damaligen Elektronikschrott gekauft, damals noch mit #WindowsXP.

Zuerst kam ein #Kanotix drauf, das vielleicht niemand kennt. Kanotix war ein Abkömmling der #Linux-Distribution #Knoppix, das zu der Zeit in vielen Computerzeitschriften als #LiveCD mitgeliefert wurde, um - jetzt zurücklehnen und genießen: - #Viren, #Würmer und #Trojaner auf #Windows-Rechnern aufzuspüren. Was hat Windows mit Linux zu tun?

Eigentlich nichts, außer daß Linux für Linuxer besser als Windows ist und wegen geringerer Verbreitung auch ein weniger attraktives Angriffsziel. Unter normalen Verhältnissen läßt sich ein Windows-Rechner bei Alterung durch Installation eines Linux auch locker weiterbetreiben. Der Stammbaum der Linux-Distributionen sieht ganz lustig aus https://distrowatch.com/dwres-mobile.php?resource=family-tree . Auch der Debian-Stammbaum https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Linux-Distributionen#Debian_und_Derivate mit Kanotix irgendwo dazwischen.

Die deutsche Entwicklung der Firma SuSE hatte ich auf dem ersten Linux-Desktop. Beim Einspielen einer neuen Version gab es Schwierigkeiten, wo auch die Firma SuSE nicht helfen konnte. Da half Kanotix https://www.kanotix.com/ . Alles Weitere lief dann mit Debian pur (damals schwierig für einen Anfänger!), Kubuntu, Lubuntu, kurze Zeit Linux Mint und Mint LMDE getestet; jetzt wieder Debian 12 pur. Auf einem schnellen Stick fühlt sich die Kiste wie eine neue an.

Der Desktoprechner mit seiner Hardware von 2003 verweigerte die Installation von Lubuntu 18. Machte aber nichts, ich weiß mir jetzt zu helfen.


Fazit:

Wenn Rechner mit Windows 10, dem "allerletzten Windows" https://www.giga.de/news/windows-10-vor-dem-aus-hat-microsoft-sein-versprechen-wirklich-gebrochen/ , demnächst mangels Updates außer Betrieb gehen https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/windows-10-support-endet-am-14-oktober-2025-2ca8b313-1946-43d3-b55c-2b95b107f281 und nur neuer Elektronikschrott mit #Cloudzwang angeboten wird https://windowsarea.de/2024/07/windows-11-microsoft-hebt-nutzerdaten-ungefragt-in-die-cloud/ , sollte man sich über Linux informieren. Da muß man keine Million Notebooks testen.


Gegen #Elektroschrott und #Elektronikschrott hilft #Upcycling, wenn man #Klimaschutz und #Ressourcenschonung mag.
#Offline-Nutzbarkeit ohne #Cloud-Zwang ist auch nicht schlecht. Sogar mit #DSL, ohne #Glasfaser...

#Renovierung

Da gerade #Zeit ist, haben wir uns für eine Renovierung des #Arbeits- und #Wohnzimmers entschlossen.
Wie ihr gemerkt habt sortiere ich da auch einiges aus bzw um (-:

Man findet so kleine #Schätze wie die allererste digitale #Fassung der #Satzung vom #Verein #LUKi e.V.

Ach ja, damals:

irgendwo in der #Botanik, ohne #Internet und mit schlechten #Betten, aber einer sehr spannenden Nacht, auch mit Klaus #Knopper.

Mein Weg zu Linux!

Mein Einstieg in die Welt von Linux verlief ähnlich wie bei vielen anderen.
Mein erster #Computer war ein #Schneider/#Amstrad CPC 464, gefolgt vom Commodore 64 und später dem #Amiga 500+. Diese Geräte markierten den Beginn meiner Leidenschaft für Videospiele.
Anschließend kam ein PC mit einem #Intel 386 Prozessor und einem Internetanbieter von #Compuserve. Dies war mein erster Schritt in die Windows-Welt, und ich begann mit der Version 3.11. und dann W95.
Der PC, den ich damals hatte, wurde hauptsächlich zum Spielen und gelegentlich zum Schreiben verwendet. Zu jener Zeit war der Zugang zu #Software natürlich nicht so umfangreich wie heute. Es gab nur eine begrenzte Auswahl an Programmen und Spielen, was die Nutzung des Computers stark beeinflusste.
Dann kam Windows #XP, das damals als das ultimative #Betriebssystem galt und bis heute als eines der besten Windows-Versionen, das aus Redmond veröffentlicht wurde. Es revolutionierte die Nutzung von PCs und setzte neue Maßstäbe in der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Stabilität.
Als Nächstes kam Windows #Vista, das das komplette Gegenteil von XP darstellte. Es wurde weitgehend verhasst und war, um es milde auszudrücken, einfach nur enttäuschend. In dieser Zeit begann ich, nach einer Alternative zu suchen, da ich mit den Problemen von Vista unzufrieden war.
Die erste Linux-CD, eine runde silberne Scheibe, war #knoppix Ich glaube, ich habe sie damals in einer Computerzeitschrift entdeckt. Ich versuchte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, aber das war damals alles andere als einfach, im Vergleich zu den heutigen Möglichkeiten.
Mein Glück war, dass es sich bereits um eine Live-CD handelte. Ich war überrascht, dass ich es schaffte, sie zum Laufen zu bringen, ohne Windows vorher zu starten.
Ich war zunächst überrascht, wie einfach das mit der Live-CD funktionierte, und experimentierte eine Weile damit herum. Dennoch konnte ich mich nicht wirklich damit anfreunden. Also blieb ich weiterhin bei Windows, auch wenn es mich oft frustrierte. Eines Tages hatte ich Kontakt mit einer Firma, der ich ein PDF-Dokument per E-Mail zusenden sollte. Ich verschickte das gewünschte PDF und wartete auf eine Rückmeldung. Als ich nach einer Woche nichts gehört hatte, rief ich die Firma an, um nachzufragen, ob sie das Dokument erhalten hätten. Dabei wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass sie grundsätzlich keine PDFs öffnen, die per E-Mail verschickt werden, da sie mit Windows arbeiten und befürchten, dass sich Schadsoftware im PDF befinden könnte. Das war für mich der Wendepunkt: Ich entschied, Windows endgültig den Rücken zu kehren und auf Linux umzusteigen, egal mit welchen Aufwand auch immer.

Also blieb ich weiterhin bei Windows, auch wenn es mich oft frustrierte. Eines Tages hatte ich Kontakt mit einer Firma, der ich ein PDF-Dokument per E-Mail zusenden sollte. Ich verschickte das gewünschte PDF und wartete auf eine Rückmeldung. Als ich nach einer Woche nichts gehört hatte, rief ich die Firma an, um nachzufragen, ob sie das Dokument erhalten hätten. Dabei wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass sie grundsätzlich keine PDFs öffnen, die per E-Mail verschickt werden, da sie mit Windows arbeiten und befürchten, dass sich Schadsoftware im PDF befinden könnte. Das war für mich der Wendepunkt: Ich entschied, Windows endgültig den Rücken zu kehren und auf Linux umzusteigen.
