I’ve been hearing good things about Debian 12 and it was easier than ever to install on this old T61p.

Wanted to give Bookworm a test drive and happy to report it’s smooth sailing using Gnome with a few tweaks from System76. Only took 8m 28s to compile pop launcher on the Core 2 Duo.

    Wow, thanks for the link to the Pop Shell/launcher. I didn’t know this was a thing for other distros.

      Yeah it’s working great for me on Debian. I wonder if the same will be true for their new Cosmic desktop working on other distros 🤞

    The RAM usage though … I boot Bodhi Linux 6.0 in 230mb of RAM to a fully featured graphical desktop…
