I have a few machines, which run:
Some distros I tried but did not like were Pop!_OS, Slackware, Zenwalk, Freespire, Redcore, Fedora Atomic, ArchBang, and antiX.
Sone distros I’d like to try are Qubes OS, Clear Linux, CRUX, Kwort, Paldo, Exherbo, NuTyX, T2, Chimera, Adélie, Frugalware (no new ISOs since 2016, but the packages are still updated), Dragora, Parabola, Hyperbola, PLD, KANOTIX, Calculate, ALT, ROSA, and AUSTRUMI.
The reasons I have not yet tried these are mostly down to my limited hardware and the complexity of some of the distros. With others, it’s often down to WiFi drivers not existing for my proprietary cards. And then there are also a couple of distros from Russia, which I feel I can’t trust at the moment.
It’s an old program that converts between .deb (Debian), .rpm (RedHat), .tgz (Slackware), .slp (Stampede), .pkg (Solaris), and LSB packages.
I don’t use it much, but it can be handy in a pinch for installing software that isn’t packaged for your distribution. Just don’t use it for anything low-level or that’s already packaged natively, or you’ll break stuff.
You could try running the .deb through alien(1p)
, although it can be hit-and-miss if the package has a lot of scripts or dependencies.
A user by the name of electro1 has just told me that apparently it now contains trackers. I had no idea. Sorry.

I’ll keep an eye out to see if anything else turns up that’s FOSS, but doesn’t spy.
Wait, WHAT‽
You could give ONLYOFFICE a try. It defaults to Office Open XML formats, but it can read and edit OpenDocument files just fine.
EDIT: electro1 has just told me that ONLYOFFICE has trackers. One look on Exodus and, sure enough, they’re right. Sorry!
I think I probably meant usable. Essentially, the last time I tried it, software like LibreOffice wouldn’t run and I had a few minor issues with web browsing.
It’s probably been fixed, come to think of it. Maybe I’ll give it another go.
I do quite like Haiku. It’s not quite stable usable enough for me yet, but I have no doubt that I’ll be using it as a daily driver in the near future.
Because I just want a router. I don’t need a fully modular home networking setup, and I’ve also never done anything more advanced than YunoHost when it comes to networking.
Besides, the hardware controller alone would cost more than the router I found.
I’ll consider it, but the Flint is a little more expensive than the Archer I found, and the Velica doesn’t have enough LAN ports.
Wherever you like! It’s just an HTML document.
You’ll then need to tell your browser to use it as the startpage. For example, if the file is stored under:
/home/user/homepage.html
then set your startpage, homepage, or new tab page to:
file:///home/user/homepage.html
If your browser is installed as a Flatpak, you may need to change some settings in Flatseal to get it to work.

I coded that homepage myself, so absolutely! I’ll send you a copy with the bookmarks anonymised.
I have the file saved as ~/homepage.html
, but you can put it anywhere.
Great work! This will be so useful!
Let’s just hope ⓜⓔⓣⓐ don’t completely kill this project, like they did with Bibliogram.
Could you please share your dotfiles?
Guess it’s time to either get a new pendrive, or enter the void.
The best feature Microsoft ever introduced in Windows was Linux. If you are able to, give WSL a go.
You can try playing with Arkenfox, installing uBlock Origin, fiddling with about:config, and giving yourself an aneurysm…
…or you could try Mullvad Browser. It’s a fork of Firefox, co-developed by Mullvad and The Tor Project, with impressive fingerprinting resistance (according to Cover Your Tracks). It’s like Tor Browser without Tor.
Also, install NoScript. It helps a lot.
