Thumbs up Hello


Hola Soy Osvaldo de Venezuela, pais al norte de Sur America, Por Casualidad estaba buscando algunas distros que me gustaran, para descargar y ver si mejora la funcion de una laptop algo viejita, ya tiene mas de 10 aņos y bueno, me encontre con este foro tipo Org. ya he revisado algunas, como Puppy, Ubuntu y sus derivadas, ahora estoy en el Sist Op. Kubuntu, lo he bajado ya varias veces pero a mi Pc, pero por ahora la tengo parada, porque limpiandola le aflje y se desprendieron los cables del encendido y no he sabido, o mejor dicho, no he conseguido los repuestos, porque por la casi paralizacion de las tiendas y gente que sabe de reparacion, no lo he podido conseguir, soy adulto mayor, pero siempre como me califico de autodidacta, me ha gustado el sistema Gnu-Linux, y aun tngo varios Cds de versiones ubuntu 0.5 en adelante, hasta tengo un Cd original de Studio Tv Math de Kanopis, y siempre buscando las nuevas versiones, para revisarlas, aunque aveces o muchas veces, no me sale bien porque invento y hago desastres, Bueno, Gracias y espero poder aprender mas de la gente preparada que se dedica a estas tecnologias maravillosas. Un Abrazo,

Hello, I'm Osvaldo from Venezuela, a country in the north of South America, By chance I was looking for some distros that I like, to download and see if it improves the function of a somewhat old laptop, it is already more than 10 years old and well, I found this Org type forum. I have already reviewed some, such as Puppy, Ubuntu and their derivatives, now I am in the Kubuntu Op System, I have already downloaded it several times but to my PC, but for now I have it stopped, because cleaning it loosens it and the cables of the turned on and I have not known, or rather, I have not got the spare parts, because due to the almost paralysis of the stores and people who know about repairs, I have not been able to get it, I am an older adult, but always as I qualify as self-taught, I I have liked the Gnu-Linux system, and I still have several CDs of versions ubuntu 0.5 onwards, I even have an original CD of Studio Tv Math from Kanopis, and always looking for the new versions, to review them, although sometimes or many times, I don't It works out well because I invent and make disasters. Well, Thank you and I hope I can learn more from the prepared people who are dedicated to these wonderful technologies. A hug,

Welcome Osvaldo, and as noted by frankbell, please post updates in English.

Not exactly sure there's a question, but it seems as if you are asking for suitable distributions which could run on your PC. And then there seems to be information indicating that the PC is not bootable anyways due to hardware reparations which are ongoing.

Perhaps you can share the make and model or technical specifications of your PC and then people can offer suggestions towards which distributions may work best with it. I feel you are on a good path by trying ones like Puppy, Kubuntu.

I wouldn't recommend Sid or any bleeding edge distro to a newbie. Too much to go wrong. If you're going to start with Debian, make it Stable. Go onto Sid later.

I haven't had anything go wrong with Sid in a very long time, unless like any distro the newbie in me leaps before looking.

I've found more things work when there worked on.

Backtrack (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack) is where you want to stay away from... lol

Edit/add: You do need to use Bullseye for updates and security updates in with Sid.

I must mildly take issue. I've found Sid to be quite stable.

Heck, it's more stable that most distros' "stable."

But to move from Debian stable to Sid is not really a task for someone new to Linux.

You simply Install Bullseye and change a few of them in the https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList to Sid... &c.

Or, Just download that link that points directly to non-free sid? Tho netinst you'd need an Internet connection.

We don't hold hands here, we guide DuckDuckGo and learn.
