Still a better release than Linux Vista or Linux 2000 ME

    Is there a Linux XP wallpaper?

    If you're a fan of Windows 7 I can highly recommend aerothemeplasma for the full experience!

    I am using it and like it even made my own version of the win 7 wallpaper but if you are using arch some effects for some reason don't compile when using the aur version but the usual method worked.

    Because of the two 7s, right? I saw the thumbnail and thought it was neat, but then looked closer and think the small 7 should go away.

    Anyone know if it's true that with an older laptop it's better to wait a few months for bugs to be found before upgrading?

  • It's a mix, and not necessarily limited to older laptops.

    You want to stay up to date with security updates as much as possible. Feature updates are not as important, especially if you want the least bugs.

    On windows you can defer security and feature updates separately, I typically set 1 week for security and 1 year for feature updates (Assuming they haven't changed that option again). That's been enough for me to dodge the data-deleting updates.

    For Linux, I don't think it's separated as a quick user option so cleanly. You can install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of your distro. The maintainers of that will do security/bug fixes as needed and slowly push feature updates when they are very well tested.

    No. It's better to update as soon as possible and find those bugs and report them. With older hardware you increase the chances no one else will have your unique hardware to trigger the bug, so it's better for you to encounter it sooner when it's fresher in the dev's mind for a quicker fix.

    Are you running a rolling release distro?

    I have Nobara on my audio production PC and I typically wait a few days before pulling the trigger on any significant updates. A quick glance at your distro's discussion boards and a bit of patience is all you need if you're hoping to avoid issues.

    defends on your release ? I use LMDE and its on a Debian Base which uses an older 6.x kernel, so nothing to cutting edge there, which is probably an issue if you are at the bleeding edge of hardware, I am not :)

    My point, the "recent" upgrade fixed a couple niggles I had running on an older MS Surface Pro 7+

    But why? Windows 7 sucked as much as the rest of them.

    Better wallpaper available even during windows 7 era on Linux already!

    Because kernel 7.0 just released a few days ago so this is technically correct

    Yes, but no need to even have to think about the shit os from the past.

    But thanks for the clarification. I haven't seen 7 in any distro I use yet.
