Re: How's @ $ €

Agreed to all.

Looked for personal reply because I felt for giving apology for words that might hurt; really sorry if I was out of line to you.

Actually Mac's are new to me, this oldest I liked better after changed to Linux Debian. I like Linux better, even Windows, than Mac. I find them almost incompatible. I have a Macbook Pro that crashed after put (not Debian) Linux in it. Thus I reset it to Macbook Pro. On repair now, so I'm stuck with an old Mac. 3 options for me/in this.

1. Devuan works when I learn to install it with flags, boot, & root, the right places and ways.Will put more Ram, & Virtualbox VM in it if I get time & brains to learn enough to do it properly.

Self-centeredness paradoxes the project of asking help, that's true

More comical, than ironic, for that I'm grateful. Thx for that one on living in society, was spot on!

2. Struggle on adjusting Debian settings to work in it.

3. Go back to Linux Mint Ubuntu

Last option, mostly cos L. Mint has a little bit of commerciality in it; Canonical in the back, & root is gone. One helper there refused tell how I could reinstall after I'd set too much wrong again, so I wanted to start fresh. Bought dvd online to enable the option, waited 1 month to get it.. Time I learn how to clean up messes, & avoid making them. But I have a job too do, (online based mostly) so I must try to cut away my ideas, and try advices I get here in order to be at least a tiny bit productive. That's why I try out Devuan. Which seems to require more of Terminal.

Main reason I chose Debian was the size of it. Discussion sites, help sites, development sites, one can expand any interest in Debian, e.g amateur radio, photography, writing, publishing, making movies. It's amazing.

Not much money earned using non-commercial (Debian) Linux.

But the savings are unlimited.

BR,

Gunnar

Devuan is a split from Debian because some user got pissed regarding the
use of SystemD.

But you'll still need to learn pretty much the same as if you'd get a
computer with Windows and install Linux yourself.
Most computer have a good deal of compatibility those days.
Comparing your experience with a decade and half old MacBook against a
computer that is more recent doesn't work.

I have a HP desktop I got from a refurbished authorized seller, it used
to run Windows 7 and now is running Debian Buster, I installed 32 G of
RAM and still using the stock 2 TB HD. I've added a video card (GT 710)
but that wasn't a need, the integrated GPU from AMD was supported.

I also have a HP EliteBook G1 with 16GB and a 1 TB hard drive, runs with
the integrated GPU on a Intel Core (i5) system. Everything works great,
including the Wifi, the Bluetooth and the card reader.

Also got another laptop from Acer, old brick dating from 2012 with AMD
CPU, Radeon discrete graphic board, and all work well, Bluetooth, WiFi,
network card and card reader.

Only got to take your time to get the things right. Ideally also have
another computer so you can search for answer.

Learning is going thru errors and fixing them.

I think you didn't get right what I said (and other said too).

It is good to make backup of user data.
But it is safe to upgrade from one Debian version to another.
And it is also safe to do update on the packages themselves.

Most human are self-centered but they have gotten maturity to know that
if you want interaction with others, then there's a need to act
accordingly to what is acceptable.

We all need to eat and we all get hungry. Does it mean this justify that
I pass in front of other waiting in a line ? No it doesn't.

Our needs are balanced against the community. That what's called living
in a society.
