tldr: Looks like someone has too much free time. :~)
Ubuntu Mate 22.04 is a good choice for an old 2010 PC. I doubt Xubuntu or Lubuntu will work any better.
UEFI is probably irrelevant in this case, anyway, the installer should auto-handle it.
There...
So, I got curious and tested Xubuntu 23.10 beta, kernel 6.5. It worked with the default radeon kernel module. GUI desktop got loaded. There was no need to configure vesa or anything else. OpenGL 4.5...
Ubuntu Mate 20.04 has no issues on AMD A4-3400 with the same Radeon 6410D integrated GPU. Xorg starts and stops, but the machine is too old to use for anything useful.
You should try Ubuntu, it has proprietary drivers in a repository, and a GUI program to install them.
...and search before asking :~)
I suspect it has something to do with switching to gtk3. For a memory lean disto try AntiX. It is even better than Xubuntu 10 years ago.
+1 Very similar results here. Steaming is unusable, and an N450 Atom stugles with loading websites even with javascript disabled. The web outpaced netbooks, and left them behind on the roadside.
Are you serious about web browsing on an Atom 270? Is it a text based browser?
There are way too many distros to list as possible alternatives, but LM the Dien Bien Phu distro is disqualified. It is silly, and its users are annoying.:P
Yeah, know how you feel exactly. I do not want to need to breath ever again, or see another snap complaint.
Can you, perhaps, share some real life user cases for an Atom netbook. I'd like to use one, but boot and stare at the wallpaper is kind of boring.:P
So, what happens with the default settings (vga=792 nomodeset removed) on 22.10? Is it static or black screen? Does xserver restart help?
This is the silliest idea ever, but I think I can outsilly it. Well, what if Ubuntu, systemd and linux merged into Ubsydnux...?
It probably looks something like this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/walmart-lists-a-30tb-portable-ssd-for-39-it-is-naturally-a-scam/
Nvidia-340 is indeed unsupported and untested on 22.04. Nvidia dropped support at the end of 2019, so the last supported Ubuntu release is 20.04 with kernel 5.4. The PPA you've used just makes it...
The links you've posted and the CVE numbers all lead to tenable.com. For example, look at "File Name: debian_DLA-3103.nasl", which is listed under https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/164946. There...
"Watch in horror...", mehh. Do I sweat and tremble, or just watch? :lolflag:
Why are Linux users so melodramatic?
No. There isn't a definitive list. It also depends on what one considers safe and unsafe. In my pond, very little is critical or dramatic, as it is easy to reinstall or restore from a backup.
There is nothing special about installation on SSDs. Try this guide: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop.
There is no way to guarantee problems free installations without any...
You can use <dkms uninstall ...>
You install samba, and then define shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Use "smbpasswd -a" to add users as needed.
I've removed all snaps + snapd from a couple of old machines to speed up boot times, and nothing bad happened. Given that the problem is easily solvable, I don't see any reason for anti-snap...
Who said we can see anything? You've posted screenshots of terminal windows, presumably with some text output.
Why not copy/paste the output itself?
Do you want answers as text in a screenshot too?
You can install Firefox from a PPA, or use the binaries Mozilla provides, so there is really no need to panic.
