- mlukaszek 4y agoIsn't that project mostly dead? Last release years ago, tons of people having trouble on Reddit... Also, https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/631 https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/631
- MonkeyClub 4y agoGalliumOS is done since last December, but if the hardware is supported, it is usually the most performant solution. One needs to keep in mind though that, depending on the device, some features might not be fully supported (like custom touchpad drivers).
- penguin_booze 4y agoI installed it couple of years ago. I still get package updates from the Ubuntu base repo on which it's based. But it's true that there haven't been any newer OS releases since. My machine keeps going nevertheless. I only use it for light browsing while I commute, so I'm not that bothered about lacking OS updates. As long as it turns on, connects to WiFi, and opens Firefox, I'm content.
- usr1106 4y agoI would also migrate away from Ubuntu because of the snap lock-in. Just have not decided where to go with low end machines (2 GB are enough to give you a decent experience for basic tasks.) But not if you run everything in a container or insist that you must keep dozens of tabs open.)
