Espaniol langua, Fedora Workstation próximamente

Creo que es un soporte muy pobre para los hispanohablantes. En todas mis distribuciones, creo que Fedora Workstation es la más distribuida con soporte para hispanohablantes. ¡Mi experiencia con Fedora ha sido increíble! y gracias por tu interés

I think it is very poor support for spanish speakers. In all of my Distros I think Fedora Workstation is the most Distro with support for Spanish speaker. My experience with Fedora has been amazing! and thank you for your interest

Good for one year from December , 2019 Fred says

Add the Devx_ file to standard puppylinux. Use the Menu-->System-->Quick_SFS_load application to install the development tools.
Seem that we are still missing 'yacc' tool (yet another compiler compiler).

Why you should replace Windows 7 with Linux

https://vivaldi.com/blog/replace-windows-7-with-linux/

Your Windows 7 is likely running on an older machine that might struggle with a resource hungry operating system like Windows 10.
To run Windows 10, you need a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit RAM, 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS, and a 800 x 600 resolution display. And that’s just a bare minimum.
For many machines, the answer will not be Windows 10.
What you need instead is a lightweight, efficient OS that is – of course – resistant to viruses.

Why replace Windows 7 with Linux ??

Replacing your Windows 7 with Linux is one of your smartest options yet.

But rest assured that things have moved on in the Linux world. It has become much more accessible to the average user. If like most average users, you use your computer to browse the internet, watch movies and work on some documents, then you will be just fine. Install Linux and enjoy!

ZorinOS 15 Lite is good. https://zorinos.org

PeppermintOS is good https://peppermintos.com

Pop!_OS is good https://www.system76.com/pop

Distrowatch Zorin OS 15 Lite announcement

Zorin OS 15 Lite Linux distro can rejuvenate your aging Windows PC

A common complaint I hear from friends and family is their Windows PC is slow and barely usable. They explain that the computer is old and they think they may need a new one. I immediately ask them what they use the PC for, and almost always, they spend most of the time in a web browser. To save them money, I often suggest installing a lightweight Linux-based operating system. Why buy new hardware if you don't need it? A better operating system can often make the computer run fast again.

Today, you can download an excellent such Linux-based operating system. Called "Zorin OS 15 Lite,"

it is not only lightweight, but thanks to the Xfce desktop environment and integrated Flatpak support, it should be quite familiar to those switching from Windows. In fact, the developers are intentionally targeting existing Windows 7 users, as Microsoft's operating system will be unsupported beginning January 2020. Zorin OS 15 Lite, in comparison, is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and supported until 2023! It even comes with the very modern Linux kernel 5.0.

Running Manjaro Linux on a San Disk 240Gbyte SSD 2.5" Sata http://Manjaro.org in my daily driver laptop, T430 ThinkPad Lenovo.
Running Fedora 29 on a 120GByte PNY SSD 2.5" Sata that was in this T430
Running Linux Mint 19.1 on a SSD Sata drive
Test installed ElementaryOS along side Windows 10 and Q4OS Scorpion version 3.7 https://q4os.org along side ZorinOS.org Core (have not integrated/update grub.conf to allow booting into ZorinOS just yet.)

What did Jason make me DIY?

He wrote a Forbes.com article about Gnome Boxes simplicity to run a Linux Virtual Box to support running other Linux OS under Ubuntu 19.xx from just a downloaded .ISO file. So I thought, I wanted to test Debian 10 Buster .ISO running on this Manjaro Linux Laptop. So I could then test the ConvergenceOS scripts https://github.com/wb7odyfred/ConvergenceOS for updating Kernel Software, Graphics Card drivers, and SteamOS itself for 4 Operating systems, Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19.1, Debian 9.1 to 9.9 (soon to test with 10 and 10.1), Q4OS Scorpion (debian 9.6). You are welcome to test this script on your Debian based Linux Distribution. Just clone the github directory or download a zip file. There are a couple other files the script uses to setup 2 icons on your desktop so you can switch from Big Picture Interface to desktop Linux.

From a terminal command line, execute this "./build_convergence_zenity.sh" script file. You can run this shell script file, many times. It has kept my kernel software, graphics card drivers software, and the SteamOS software updated with newer versions. It checks for updates, then downloads and installs the updates.

Install Gnome-Boxes on your Linux Distribution:

First Step use Manjaro Arch Software Update manager Octopi to see if there is a gnome-boxes software to click install.   Yes, there is.
Hold it there, son! Don't touch that button box just yet. Before clicking that box to install Gnome-Boxes. Either update kernel software from Octopi (with Ctrl-U key, updates) or open a terminal window and simply type "pacman -Syu" remember to capitalize the 'S'.    If you prefer pacman, type "pacman -Sy gnome-boxes" and you can install this gnome-boxes virtual machine manager from the command line. Or you can skip back over to your Software Manager Add / Remove Octopi window and left click on the "gnome-boxes" entry select "info" to read. Left click a second time and move cursor down to the +Install menu item.   Select any additional items that come up to install with gnome-boxes.   Finally (with Ctrl-Y key, answers YES to install choices).   There you go, new software is speeding down the internet super highway to that PC sitting right in front of you. Woo! Hoo! This Manjaro Linux is Fast, Hot, and Upto date right NOW!!!

Yes, the software installed. Hit the Super Key (looks like a Window Icon, between the Ctrl-key and the Alt-key) [Jason are those overlay Fedora Symbol Key stickers ready from Dell?] type "Gnome" or "Boxes" and it should come up on your menu selection as a choice. Hit "Enter" key. Now run Gnome Boxes, and the world is your oyster shell.   Your dreams of Test driving various Linux Distributions .ISO file that you downloaded to your PC, come alive in a virtual machine box.

Debian 10 Buster downloads:

https://www.linuxtechi.com/debian-10-buster-installation-guide/
HEADER, What to do with these files.

try the experimental automatic mirror selector that will automatically redirect you to a nearby mirror that is known to have the current version.

I live in Oregon, so Corvallis OSUOSL is close to me.
Download AMD64 Bit Torrent Hybrid files from Oregon State University Open Source Lab

Bit Torrent Clients:

Download qBitTorrent for Windows from qbittorrent.org
For Linux look at Transmission Bit Torrent client https://transmissionbt.com
https://linuxhint.com/transmission-bittorrent-client-linux/

Well one understood bit of knowledge leads to another question?

Would PuppyLinux.com newest version BionicPup 8.0 Run?

Well download the BionicPup64_8.0.ISO File from here to ~/Downloads directory.
Start up Gnome-Boxes VirtualBox.
Select the .ISO file you just downloaded.
Set the RAM Memory to 1 Gigabyte and the Disk size to 12.1 GigaBytes.
Hit Continue. How much simpler would you want this to be?

PuppyLinux BionicPup64 8.0 just works.   Wow I have used PuppyLinux for 11+ years, and really enjoy its speed and compactness. Works great on older computers. Allows you to recover broken Windows computer that won't boot. You can copy of the files from the Windows NTFS or FAT32 formatted disk to an external USB hard disk drive or (external SSD)

NOTE: Use the Left -Ctrl key + Alt key to grab or ungrab the mouse cursor.
I clicked the "connect" icon and the internet was connected up for me to use.
My problem was how to move the files from inside puppylinux, that I was looking for Frisbee internet connection shell scripts.   I used pack-it tool to create a frisbee.tar.gz archive file from /usr/local/frisbee directory.

I tried to setup gmail for me to email this small 22k byte tar.gz file to myself. But did not get Claws configured correctly. Ended up posting onto the Puppy Murga Linux forum posts. https://www.murga-linux.com/puppy
Wb7odyFreds Murga Linux Puppy Forum about Frisbee.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=116610&sid=81a5f96bb071f49467be98d77cdb18f0
Why Frisbee, I want to see this useful internet connection tool move over to be used on GhostBSD. It could definitely be used on other Linux Distributions.

So, in the end, I call this a successful day. Using Manjaro Linux, Gnome-Boxes, BionicPup64 8.0, Telegram Desktop, Ninja Build compiling Clang and LLVM all on the same laptop, all running at the same time, while learning how to:
Do It Yourself (DIY), instead of waiting for someone else to do the task for you.

Thanks Jason Evangelho.   I will drink a Rolling Rock beer in honor of your publicizing Linux from a place I never would have considered:   Forbes.com Magazine.   Already drank a fair amount of McDonalds coffee today, while using their public internet connection.

ps. I remember the 1983-84 years with PCDOS 1.0 where multitasking, was starting a Epson MX-80 dot matrix printing your files for several minutes and walking over to the coffee pot to freshen your cup of coffee and take a break and stretch and work on a task at your desk and not touch the computer till the print job was finished. So what an amazing journey from the first computers, having to wait for a print job. PCDOS 2.0 probably started interrupt driven printing in the background, while you could use the PC on another task.   Today in nearly the year 2020s, 36 years later you can use the computer to run a virtual machine running another OS. But you still have to make your own coffee.

QEMU is a helpful tool. Will have to learn more about it.

My new toy and interest:
running Armbian Debian 10 Buster desktop on a
ASUS Tinker Board Quad Core A17 32 bit ARM cpu running at 1.8Ghz. Wow.
The HDMI TV or Monitor screen really makes these board look sexy at the color definition and 1080 pixels you see on screen. Wonder if 4K at 30 frame per second would be TOO MUCH fine detail for these old eyes?? Even supports Bluetooth Audio Speaker and most likely HDMI audio for playing those YouTube videos on the TV screen. You can learn so much watching Car repair and small engine repair videos. Obtain more knowledge to be useful in this world.

My first Project, Get Electron App Joplin Notes to run on Armbian Debian Linux https://joplinapp.org/. Looking forward to running PuppyLinux Fatdog64 on this ASUS Tinker board.
You can run RasPup Raspbian based PuppyLinux on Raspi Zero Raspi 2, 3,4
