I have an ancient #Thinkpad that just is not taking to #Gentoo well. I could probably coax it to work eventually, but I don't want to bug the Gentoo IRC channel too much. I can't get X or Wayland running. I tried an #Arch derivative which "works" but is very buggy.

I don't want #Ubuntu with it's crappy snap everywhere setup. I might fall back to #Slackware or #Debian

I just want something that has most #hamradio software in its repos and can run #Wine for #Winlink support.

@profoundlynerdy I think your best bet might be Debian. I don't use it myself, but have heard the repo is very large.

@Shawnster_P Isn't Debian server-only?

@profoundlynerdy no, they have desktop isos, but I find it easier to Google it rather then find it in their website lol

@Shawnster_P @profoundlynerdy Eventuality all life turns into crabs & every laptop gets to run Debian.
