I can try that, do you know of any distro that has it preinstalled? I don’t care too much about what it’s based on but I might prefer a distro that’s similar to Linux Mint.

I’m currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.

I’m not sure what you mean by tactical shooter but flathub has a subcategory for shooters in the games category. While half of them are source ports of Doom, Quake and some other games, there are a few games I’ve looked into that seem interesting. So far I’ve only played Empty Clip and that’s a pretty good top down shooter with rpg elements but games like Red Eclipse and Tremulous look pretty interesting as well.

I might try that later if the issue comes back up. Last night, I used the “Fix MergeList problems” option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it. I did at the time think it was an issue with my HDD but disks wont let me check the filesystem because it can’t unmount a filesystem that is in use.

It seems to be working now, so I might not need to try that. Last night, I used the “Fix MergeList problems” option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed the issue.

Right now it seems to be working fine, so I’ll try that later if I have issues again. Last night, I used the “Fix MergeList problems” option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it.

I just saw your edit, the closest to “remove duplicate dependencies” is “remove duplicate entries”, is that it?

The closest thing I see to “clear packages” is “remove foreign packages”, is that it? For the mirror, am I supposed to change the Linux Mint mirror or the Ubuntu mirror? It’s telling me to change the Linux Mint mirror but you mentioned “Jammy”, so which one am I supposed to change?

Would it lick me clean or would I still have to wipe myself?

To name something that hasn’t been mentioned yet, ArcaOS, which based on OS/2. It supports modern hardware and in addition to some preinstalled software, it also has some compatibility layers to run software from other OSs.

You could try Animus: Stand Alone, the android version isn’t available anymore but the PC, Xbox, Switch and iOS versions seem to still be available. It had a sequel called Animus: Harbinger but it seems like only the Switch and iOS versions are the only ones still available. There was also a third Animus game but Revenant is quite different from the first two.

Another game I can recommend is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It was only ever available for the PS2 and Xbox but it’s gameplay, especially during bosses, is similar to dark souls.

I once saw a video where a guy was talking to his sister’s best friend about Fallout 3. He didn’t know how to leave the vault without killing the overseer and she said that she would only help him if he banged her.

I didn’t see anyone else mention this but, as someone who uses Linux Mint, if you are going to install software through the Software Manager, read the reviews for the app you want before downloading it. Linux Mint’s Software Manager is full of apps that are so outdated that some of them aren’t even compatible with the current version of Linux Mint. There are other issues as well, like how there are at least 20 different versions of Wine and most of them are very old versions. I’d understand if they want to keep legacy apps for the older, still supported, versions of Linux Mint but it can be confusing to use sometimes.

I’ve forgotten the name but there was an “adult” MMO made for android devices that I played a while back. After I completed the tutorial, I was shown the announcements and it stated that the the game’s service was to end in about week.

I feel like I should have more but I can’t remember anything else.

The main reason I’m currently staying with Linux Mint is because it’s what I have installed and it works for me. I may switch to a different distro in the future but right now, I have no reason to. I’d also have concerns about software availability, which from what I’ve seen, Debian (and I think Arch to some extent) currently has the most software available.

Also, Xfce is currently in the process of adding support for Wayland. They have stated in their roadmap that they want full support for Wayland in version 4.20 and they are working on porting everything and making sure that everything works. You can read about their current progress here: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

I’m not familiar with Fedora, as I’ve only ever used Debian and Debian derivatives. I also can’t seem to find any information on the system requirements for the LXQt spin of Fedora. I may still check it out in the future because I don’t know if I will always stick with the Xfce edition of Linux Mint for my main computer, but right now I’m just looking for a Linux distro for my old computer and Q4OS seems to be fine.

I’ve been looking into lightweight Linux distros on and off for a while now, so I have heard of LXQt. The only problem is that I have no experience with installing a desktop environment, so if there is a distro that can use it and it would use less ram than the 32-bit version of Q4OS (which is already less than 256 MB), I’d want a distro that has it preinstalled.

It would be easy if there was a list/database that contained a sort-able list of how much ram every distro used. But I’ve never found one, the closest was a list of lightweight distros on Wikipedia but that list is very outdated and is also missing a lot of distros.

Did you not read the part of my post where I mentioned that I was planning on running this on an old computer that only has 1 GB of ram?

On their website, it states that the minimum requirements for the OS are 256 MB, that’s what I was going off of. I even mentioned in my post that even if it was installable on a computer with 256 MB of ram that it would be pretty much useless.

Also, I just tested the 32-bit version and, like what another user stated, it does use less than 256 MB of ram, which means that their claim is right.
