Lately I've been using EndeavouOS as an easy Arch variant.  (Last year, when Ubuntu shipped an update that broke my bluetooth, I switched and have been happy since). 

 

For very old boxes (like a 2010 netbook, 2GB memory, atom CPU), I use AntiX linux.

Awesome!!
 
I just went to staples and bought a 10 pack of 16GB usb drives..
 
What are peoples opinions on what should go on them?
I was thinking of making 7 out of the 10 Ventoy with an assortment of ISO's and the last three I thought I might do as bare ISO installs for stuff that doesn't like ventoy.
 
Here's what I was thinking of putting on each Ventoy drive:
Ubuntu 25
Fedora 42
Arch 2025.10.01
 
I know asking what your favorite distro is throwing a flare into a gasoline factory.. but feel free to let me have your unfettered opinion ;-)

Sounds like a good time! Looking fwd to meeting Jack.
I'll also be bringing a new Omarchy (read: opinionated Arch Linux + Hyprland) system for us to play with.
I've got the installer on a USB-C, in case anyone would like to turn ewaste into a productivity workhorse.

Hey Gang!
 
Just a reminder we've got a meeting tomorrow!
Topic: National Right to Repair day
Speaker: Jack Frimet from PIRG.
Time: 7PM
Date: October 9th, 2025
Location: Technocopia
Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA

Jack Frimet from PIRG reached out to me and asked that he speak at this meeting. PIRG is an organization that among many other causes is advocating at the national level for the right to repair. As we are all aware, with Win10 reaching EOL, this is causing a tsunami of e-waste as people are forced to upgrade to run Win11.

On Saturday Oct 18th, it's National Right to Repair day. PIRG in coordination with Techncopia is going to be hosting what's looking like to be a good old fashioned Install-fest. Sadly, I have a family conflict, but I'll be there in spirit!

I hope to see you all on Thursday!
Later,
Tim.
