  • Just looked it up on Amazon. Thank-you. Hopefully I can get a tester from nuud themselves rather than the £25 there!

    Burnt myself recently on a traditional deo having tried to stay away from Aluminium based one; I think it held it too close on this occasion. I’m old and it shouldn’t have happened. Had many small blood blisters under my arms but internally. Horrible. Anyway, it seems to have changed me. Since then I’ve been sensitive to many deodorants.

    Currently looking for something else that works, hopefully Nuud is it. Thank-you.


  • If it runs Windows it’ll run Linux almost certainly. The cheaper you go, the more likely you’ll have lower priced or older components for WiFi, Bluetooth etc which may mean that you have to dig some firmware binaries out to get the whole thing running.

    If you can take a USB stick with you of a typical Rescue distribution, and can boot it up, you’ll know what will and won’t work easily. The bits that don’t work may need some minor fiddling. As I said, there are usually walkthrough blogs etc around.

    Have fun.




  • Who said that (you have to use their custom mainline kernel)?

    Fedora have an IoT distribution that fits the Raspberry Pi for example. There’s workstation and a ostree versions.

    Armbian I’ve used in preference to Raspbian or whatever they call it today. I like the cleanest distributions as much as possible.

    That’s all I have personal experience with, but there are others.

    Meanwhile, others have suggested other boards. However, don’t think that Raspbian is it (pun intended).




  • I don’t but i note increasing difficulty in upgrading/keeping prior extensions to the new version of gnome.

    For example, “recent files” extensions for the top bar used to number in the threes I think. With the last gnome version there was only one which wasn’t the most useful of the lot. I use it because it makes it easier beginning again the following day, rather than the extra step of opening the file mangler. I’ll probably go with the majority and drop it once I upgrade to Fedora 39.

    Looks like gnome is becoming more useful to people in basic guise, incorporating many of the extension functions within the main GUI, and so the once popular extensions are becoming unmaintained.


  • Probably twice or more as often as I complain. I’m not shy about either and I make sure that there complaint is reasonable, not about scoring points, and with an easy way out.

    I am really anti people who only complain. Finding fault with something is really easy compared to complementing.

    Finding fault with yourself is twice as easy as even that.

    A simple complement can change a day and/or prevent a suicide that you would never know about.

    If you want to know who someone is, watch how they treat people who they believe are ‘below’ them. If something is still ‘off’, get them drunk: real personalities come out to play when inhibition is completely gone.
