anyone here know how to use "linux"

[pouncy_panda@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva it could require a 32bit UEFI boot loader. I have that on an old Mac mini with a Core 2 Duo

@aeva https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

@pupxel i mean like one with a gui and sound

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva it has instructions all the way to installing steam :3

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@GyrosGeier I don't think this machine has a "uefi"

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pupxel I'll keep that in my back pocket for the next time I feel like I have too much free time 😅

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva if you want to take the shorter route and modify an existing distro, everyone should have instructions for that, ubuntu's at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@accela alternatively, how does one do that

@pupxel @aeva Can recommend if you want to learn how Linux works.

Not sure about it helping you create a LiveUSB. Or how to keep it up to date with security fixes.

@dragonfi @pupxel I learned how linux works with gentoo when I was a teenager

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@GyrosGeier do you think a CD installer work or would that be basically the same problem again? is that still a thing?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@GyrosGeier I just checked, the options are @efi, non-efi, and "auto"
