Long story short:
Previous inhabitant of the place I live in now left their laptop, found their uni. e-mail and they sent back saying "whatevs you keep".

So basically, I need distro recommendations!!!
I considered Manjaro or Arch, but I might just save that for the Pinebook Pro I orderd.
I run Fedora on all my machines, but I wanna try something else.

Show thread

I wanna test out some experimental distros.
Maybe Devuan? Alpine?
Maybe even a BSD? I've never used OpenBSD, and FreeBSD is quite nice. Only concern is hardware-compatibility.

Please, send your suggestions!

I'm setting up FreeBSD.
If drivers become an issue, I'll try Haiku

Show thread

FreeBSD had issues and it wasn't working with the eMMC storage.
Haiku doesn't have EFI and this bootleg Mac only has EFI GPT booting.
I tried Parabola but no wifi drivers.

So I guess I'm using Arch Linux...

WTF
I installed Arch at night and I had a working system before I went to bed.
I wake up and I'm getting kicked into EFI Shell.
