- | I like SUSE Linux, green desktop and all. I like the chameleon mascot, what’s not to like? As a kid, I used to love walking the long hedgerows of the cemetery looking for chameleons. I will try SUSE again, every few years, but, as usual, I end up disappointed. This time, I spotted Gecko Linux, promising to fix all the ‘broken’ parts of SUSE. I opted for the XFCE version, just to find it more broken than SUSE itself. I fired up YAST. Cute aardvark! Installed something, update completed, booted, and... broken system? Really? Reinstalled. Tried to add GIT. To install GIT, it needs to uninstall, say, my media players and office? (can’t remember the precise details). Really? Try it on another machine that dual-boots. It won’t find the other partitions. I open a ticket on github, the answer is, yes, it’s a bug, but it will be fixed in two years. So I try ‘tumbleweed’ instead. Black screen after first update. Previously on my Clevo laptop, SUSE could never work the sound card... So why is Ubuntu so popular? You tell me. Not once (touch wood) have I run into dependency problems with Ubuntu. Nothing I have tried to install from the software centre has tried to uninstall something else I need. Love it or hate it, but Ubuntu has made Linux accessible to the unwashed masses.

A: Are we talking MS paint or XP paint? It seems someone misinformed you. WSL allows you to load Linux on a Windows machine. Think of it like WUBI. DXVK allows directx on vulkan.

- | A: The PI 3 does not have the RAM needed. Yes, it has enough for the OS, but you need to do things with the OS. This is where the problems start (eg, browsing, movies). May I suggest sticking with Raspbian, or Ubuntu core. If you are planning to use it as a desktop, may I suggest trading it in for a PI 4, the 2GB one is currently $35. This is just too broad for a QnA. (But keep your peepers peeled to the magazine). | + | A: The PI 3 does not have the RAM needed. Yes, it has enough for the OS, but you need to do things with the OS.

A: Ubuntu is intelligent. *wink. When you right-click a file in Linux, and choose “open with”, that program will be associated with your file. Linux does not use file extensions, that is why there is no exhaustive list like in Windows. At any time, type: file - and the name of your file, in the terminal and Ubuntu will identify it for you, regardless of extension. | A: Ubuntu is intelligent. *wink.
