From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any modern DE in my fucking Raspberry Pi 5. I tried going Debian testing, broken packages. I tried installing other OSes, fedora didn't even boot, Ubuntu broke in installation and now won't let me log in.
Gnome in Debian stable feels too old and I can't get the screen keyboard working and disable the dann screen reader. I just want a box to put on my tv.
Edit: was idiot, thought raspberry pi de was gnome.also the rpi5 needs a custom kernel as some stuff isn't yet in the main one, so use raspbian.
Try Alpine Linux edge
I discovered that the default de wasn't gnome actually. It was raspberry pi DE, which isn't my thing.
Through I had no idea that the rpi5 required some stuff that is not yet merged into the kernel, and only raspbian works as a result, because they ship s custom one.
Alpine Linux has no default DE, I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's up to the user to install a DE.
I meant on raspbian.
