#q4os — Public Fediverse posts

@Lori_Noctis A few months ago I had to give a new life to my old Acer Notebook, and the best thing I tested was #Q4OS, which brings Trinity desktop. It seems like a very lightweight version of KDE.
It had a very good performance but I didn't get to test it in depth because the hard drive burned up.
The next distro that I tested was #MiniOS and it was to use it from the pendrive.

@Monty Il existe une version 32 bits de #Q4OS Aquarius (base #Debian), avec l'environnement de bureau #Trinity, maintenue au moins jusqu'en juin 2028 : https://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html
Ou sinon, comme déjà mentionné ci-dessus, il y a #Antix : https://antixlinux.com/download/

@woltiv @davidgerard I switched the ol' desktop from 2010 and "TV laptop" from 2015 from Win10 to #Q4OS last year, and noticed that Lord of the Rings Online (a Windows game) runs *better* on those than it did in Windows.

For normal use (Vivaldi, VLC, torrenting, file and media server, etc.) things are far better than they were in Windows...

Trinity, le plaisant fork de KDE 3

Vous vous souvenez de KDE 3, l'excellent environnement de bureau ? Il a été fork à l'époque du passage à KDE 4, et est devenu Trinity Desktop Environment !

Merci à @tde pour ce travail incroyable !

Finalmente, instalei o #trisquel #linux no meu laptop 32 bits de 2008!

Uso ainda esse laptop todo dia, mas o #q4os, antigo sistema, não atualizava mais.

Gostaria de instalar o #puppylinux, mas este sempre tem uma frescurinha ruim de resolver para dummies como eu. Mas há de ser.

Amigos, chegou a hora: não manjo NADA de código, mas preciso instalar um novo sistema #Linux no meu velho laptop de 32 bits.

Algum sistema 1) livre e 2) fácil de instalar, de verdade?

Sou um dummie, um ignorante, mas também entusiasta do Linux. Usava #Q4OS, um linux muito fácil de usar, mas que foi descontinuado. Precisaria de uma instalação fácil e rápida 😉

#Q4OS 6 Andromeda: More Than Just #Debian #Linux on a Diet for Old Machines

https://fossforce.com/2026/02/q4os-6-andromeda-more-than-just-debian-on-a-diet-for-old-machines/

I am looking for a way to do offline backups for Linux filesystems on x64/arm64/amd64 laptops to an encrypted (LUKS) disk.
I tried systemrescue. It works using fsarchiver but I have to manually mount the external disk per several cryptsetup commands.
I have written down the commands for several Linux distros I use but would like to boot from an USB stick on which either the commands are stored in a file or a sort-of automount works out-of-the-box.
I see several choices:
Customize system-rescue. I would have to do it for every new version
or
Use a distro on an USB stick which supports automount of encrypted disks.
Q4OS seems to be a good candidate. I don't know whether both versions of the live images support this automounting.
Any suggestions ?

eine sparsame grafische Oberfläche braucht weniger Ressourcen und zudem laufen bei #linux auch nicht so viele Anwendungen im Hintergrund mit.

#xfce #lxqt wären geeignet für ältere Hardware

oder die Distributionen #linuxlite #bunsenlabs #bodhilinux #q4os #legacyos ..... u.a.

Moin,

gestern hat mein PC ein neues #Linux bekommen

🥳

This long weekend’s #shenanigans with tech outcomes:

1) Nuked the install on the #OrangePiRV2. Seems like it did mot like my poor attempt in switching it over from #Ubuntu to #Debian via sources.list

2) Installed #BredOS on the Opi RV2- it’s okay; super limited repos and graphical issues.

3) On the #orangepizero2w I have switched the DE over to #Trinity from #XFCE. It is now running smoother.

4) #Ebox is updated and running #Q4OS. Was able to get #Steam installed for some light gaming. #Retrodeck was alos installed for some #RetroGaming

Not too shabby for a couple of hours playin' around. I think I will stay on #q4os and #kdeplasma for awhile on this lil #ebox. Hopefully q4os will be updating to #Debain #Trixie soon 🤞

Here is the obligatory #Neofetch screenshot

Shout out to @somafm for providing me the background music to tool around on this lil pc.

#GhostBSD was absolutely not fun with #Gershwin; I am also not that interested with #BSD to bother fighting the OS.

Tried #BesGNUlinux but it has issues with #Flatpak. Has an installer for flatpak built in but its super buggy and the apps do not appear in the system menus or in the finder app. Super lame.

Now in the process of testing out #Q4OS
