Install "linux-image-686" to get the latest rolling version, use get-kernel to select a specific version, or

Code: Select all

apt-cache search linux-image | awk '/686/ && !/pae/'
to see the available options.

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/06/ubun ... -installer

Starting from the next release they won't have installable live desktops (and servers, though I think they haven't existed for years) in 32bit, only netinstall (yey!), and they drop 32bit altogether starting from the 18.10 release.

Another reason to continue grilling.

This news is a little old, and probably not much of a concern for people here, but roxterm is another casualty of gtk 3.2. AntiX is considering replacements.

^ I'd be happy to have this problem - which of the 27 terminal emulator alternatives should I take? :D

Seems some people love libvte9.

Two years? Seriously? For customizing LXDE? Changing icons from ugly to fugly, setting the fonts to Roboto, changing the window theme of Openbox? Two years? "Interface Expert"? Naaaah, please!

hey c'mon, he moved the title bar from the bottom... all the way to the top, that must have taken a while.
and a mediocre wall, there are a /lot/ of wallpapers...
Whhaa, he didn't have any experience in linux or Xwindows
Bear in mind that at this point I’d barely ever used Linux or Xwindows, never mind made any changes to them,
fuuck.

Good news indeed.

Just checked, and the noX iso is 579M, xorg (with fluxbox) is 1031M, LXDE is 1120M, Xfce is 1161M, and Plasma is 1570M. Wow.

I am downloading a couple of them, just to see what is included to make them so big.
