Thanks, very useful information, i intend to try out debian and arch through virtual machines in the not too distant future.

i really like Debian. Its a rock solid distro, i love all debian distros for that. I was taking a cyber security course and noticed that the instructor was running Debian on his laptop so i thought id give it a go! lol Its a great distro will not let you down

that's awesome, i'm currently worried about erasing too much of my data since my windows computer is broken, i'll try to install debian sometime today.

i found install was straight forward on my virtual machine but when i went t put it on my macbook, i would get a weird error something was missing - i probably could of easily sorted it with a bit of research but as im impatient i then went and installed Arcolinux and have been having fun with that distro, its a really user friendly Arch based distro that uses a Gui installer called calamares, you can pick your desktop and alsorts its great

yeah i just got a wierd error as well, there are instructions for fixing it on ubuntu. It's apparently a virtual box issue which is with my limited machine code knowledge un-fixable:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) on Fedora 32

Running VirtualBox 6.1.12 r139181 on Fedora 32 and it is working fine. But after update to kernel 5.8.4-200.fc32.x86_64 on Fedora, I get the following error when trying to load a VM. The VirtualBox

superuser.com

interesting! i cant remember the exact error mine threw but it was possibly missing kernel modules or something of that nature. Because i was installing on real hardware i didnt want the heeadache so i retreated to another distro lol

I prefer Lem in Vim mode. It was easy to install and it has worked well for me.

This is a pretty old thread. Generally speaking, we do not recommend posting to older threads unless you have something extremely important to add to it. Even a thread that hasn't had a reply in a few months would be considered 'old'.

You're not in any trouble or anything like that. I'm just making you aware of our conventions here within the Linux.org community.

Indeed, this thread is so old that nobody would bat an eye if someone started another one pretty much just like it. Enough time has passed between now and then.

I usually use Vim because it's fast and allows me to keep my hands on the keyboard. It seems complicated at first, but once you get used to the commands, editing code becomes much more efficient. Sometimes I open files in Nano when I need to quickly fix something.
