OS misadventures
Yep, still trying to find something what runs good on the craptop, and it's not going swimmingly.
I've tried various Linuxes... Linii? to no avail, so I decided to try something new...
FydeOS? Basically a fork of ChromiumOS, yes, Chromium, not Chrome, but basically the same thing. How do you use this thing? I got it up and working, but I can't wrap my brain about the computer is the browser... or is that the browser is the computer?
So, next up, Haiku. Whaz Haiku? An operating system inspired by BeOS from the 90s. Ehhhh, not sold on it, but it has potential so let's install it... Ummm, the installer can't see my HD... well, EMMC, haven't had that happen in a while.
Well Ok then, let's go back to Linux with Rhino Linux, been a bunch of chatter about this one. Launch the live installer, and... the tray is missing. No clock, date, access to the WiFi, etc, but glitches sometimes happen with live environments, so we'll install it and see how it goes, because this is a real nice looking OS... And same problem. Yeah, that's kinda a deal breaker.
Up next, after I finish writing? TinyLinux, we'll see how this goes, can't say my expectations are particularly high at this point though.

IA? I will say installs are always a problem on this, from unrecognised drive to installs that don't work when I reboot. I'll prolly use a different live environment so I can go in and erase the hard drive, then try again, that often works
