  • in most cases, still ‘downloading’ something to boot to initially. might as well just make a usb installer. i also had zero luck with any usb keyboards working with netboot.xyz when i tried using it on a 7th gen optiplex, had to steal borrow a ps/2 one.

    debian has a great netinst image that has most the drivers and firmwares needed to install debian over the network on pretty much anything. debian’s installers were also the only installers (of a dozen or more i tried at one time) that worked ‘out of the box’ with my particular usb wifi for a net install.













  • i don’t like tiling wm, and can’t stand seemingly random placement a linux d.e. usually gives (if not just centering everything every time).

    i use the kwin script for ‘remember window positions’ to get behaviour similar to windows. gnome has something similar, too (‘smart auto move ng’). so now a window for a program will open right back up the same size and in the same spot next time you run it.
