Is there a starter guide?

  • Here’s a big list of OSes from which to choose, disclaimer being that I wrote it.
  • Debian Trixie is a good practical OS.
  • Kali Linux is used by teenagers to pretend they’re “super hackers”; it does have a great suite of pre-installed tools to use if you’re actually cracking a network, but most actual hackers use anything else due to Kali’s aforementioned reputation.
  • RetroPie will give you a polished interface for playing video games.
  • Trying some of the lesser known Linux distributions is a great way to dip your feet into the diverse seas of UNIX communities, but you’d want to have a specific reason for using them as your daily OSes.

I use my uConsole as my primary computer, so what it’s not good for is recent games, processing large (100GB+) amounts of data, big local LLMs, and other high-performance computing applications. Today I read some blog posts, sent messages to my friends, watched a movie, and listened to music while showering, and my uConsole worked for all of that.
