Quick Access for Returning Visitors

At Lintime.org, we specialize in providing detailed timelines that document every aspect of managing Linux systems. Our timelines start from the initial installation and continue through all updates, issues, and solutions. This unique approach allows you to see the evolution of each system over time in an easy-to-follow format.

Whether you’re a new Linux user or looking to refine your system administration skills, our timelines offer valuable insights into real-world experiences with various distributions. By examining these detailed records, you can gain a clearer understanding of how to manage and troubleshoot your Linux installations effectively.

Our Testing Machines

We are currently testing Linux distributions on the following computers:

  1. Asus Zephyrus: A high-performance laptop known for its robust hardware.
  2. Dell Optiplex 3060: Reliable desktop PC suited for various workloads.
  3. Dell Inspiron 5680: A versatile workstation with strong Linux compatibility.
  4. Dell Precision 3440: A powerful workstation ideal for more demanding tasks.

All of our physical machines are running CachyOS with KDE Plasma, as we find it to be the best Linux distribution available in 2024.

Virtual Machines for Broader Testing

To offer a comprehensive view and guidance for users of different Linux distributions, we also utilize virtual machines. These allow us to test and document:

  • Ubuntu
  • openSUSE Tumbleweed
  • Debian 12

Using virtual machines helps us provide valuable insights and timelines for users of these distributions, complementing the primary testing done on our physical hardware.

Contributing to Our Community

We welcome additional input from the community! If you have suggestions for other machines or configurations you’d like us to test, please reach out. We’re committed to expanding our testing scope to include a broader range of hardware and software setups.
