From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LMDE and Alienware 17 r4

uhmbahtoLinux@lemmy.ml·8 months ago

Hi folks. Anyone running Debian on Alienware 17 r4? Or am I dreaming because of the “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti” graphics? My preference would be LMDE

Can’t go wrong with just booting the live environment and seeing if it works. Just check your display is the right resolution and your speakers and brightness work before installing. I also recommend checking it’s actually running off of the 1050ti too
