Let's create a petition to make Linux on Dex open source

Since Samsung is discontinuing the Dex project which was heavily utilizing open-source why they don't make it open source as well. I really liked the idea of being able to run Linux on your smartphone apart from Termux and having a full desktop experience. I think there would be a lot of contributors and developers and honestly speaking this project should have been open source from the beginning. Nevertheless, it is really sad that Samsung decided to discontinue the project.

I have already started an online petition at this address: [link](http://chng.it/tCtVsC5Yqb), so please sign it and re-share the link. If you want me to add or change the text of the petition, you can drop me a message on Reddit or here. I will re-post this thread in the Samsung Subreddit as well.

Let's make this happen!

Interesting distro to try : Alt Linux

Very stable and light Linux distro. There are even 32 bit distrosfor older hardware. Tried mate and xfce. Fast and solid.

More info at: [https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=alt](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=alt)

ISO image files at : [http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/tested/](http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/tested/)

Live Alt Linux is not supported by YUMI and UUI but Rufus works ok if you want to create Live AltLinux USB pendrive.

What’s your favourite package manager?

In the last little while I have used apt, eopkg, Pacman and yum. After using all of these yum is my favorite. I like more verbose output of progress and cleaner design.

Great Live Linux distro for old (32bit) and new(64bit) hardware - KNOPPIX

Guys, try this out. This distro wass made by German engineer Klaus Knopper. KNOPPIX has long history, excellent hardware detection, works out of the box on 32 and 64 bit hardware (same distro has both kernels) and has tonnes of applications. Disto is over 4GB. [https://www.pendrivelinux.com/](https://www.pendrivelinux.com/) YUMI, UUI and Rufus support it (on Windows) to make Live USB pendrive with KNOPPIX. With YUMI you can even have multiboot Live Linux USB with few different distros on the same USB drive. USB persistence in KNOPPIX is possible (not with YUMI) with special boot option (mkimage), but it slows the system down on older hardware (USB 2.0). KNOPPIX is the best as Live distro (for USB) not so much for full install on HD. Last release 8.6 has bug: 32bit kernel does not work (KNOPPIX team will fix it with next release), 64 bit is okay. Go for older 8.2 release for 32 bit hardware (cpu). For 64 bit hardware go wit last 8.6 release. IMO this distro deserves higher rating. More KNOPPIX info : [https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=knoppix](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=knoppix)

In my opinion it is little too heavy but runs great even on on my old hardware.

Laptop users, what GPU do you use?

When I install Ubuntu on my laptop (intel 630 + GF1050) the system use Nvidia card by default. That causes constant fan spinning and annoying noise. Not to mention higher temperatures. I switch to Intel and the laptop gets cool and quiet but that also cuts the web browsers webgl performance by half. How do you approach that?

Rolling release distribution for Server

I'm looking for a stable (-ish) rolling release distribution for running on servers. All the rolling release distributions I've been able to find (except CentOS Stream, maybe, it doesn't seem decided whether it'll be rolling release in the same sense as say Arch Linux) aren't really suitable for servers in my understanding.

But I'm open to any and all suggestions, what rolling release distribution would you choose for your servers if you had to use one?

How do I dual boot windows 10 with Ubuntu?

I have Ubuntu currently installed on my computer and that is all, I would like dual boot windows 10 with my current version of Ubuntu (or make a fresh one if I have to) but I can only find tutorials that are for windows 10 installing Ubuntu not the other way around.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
