Re: Best Linux for Ham Radio


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Just my two cents...

Welcome to Linux! To start, maybe for reliability and finding your feet, go with? the Mint distro.

Easy to use, well maintained, and very functional for ham radio. Huge user base, so plenty of advice and help. Does it have the newest bleeding edge of everything? No, but everything works, and you can always enjoy bleeding edge (often not much different) versions of apps later when you are comfortable with the system.

Apps have dependencies, other necessary files necessary for their function. New versions often need new versions of dependencies. Hunting these down and installing them requires some skill and know-how, best left for after you get your feet wet with Linux.

FWIW, what do I use? Mostly Arch, though also Ubuntu developer, Debian, and yes, sometimes Mint, but while not claiming to be any expert, I've been doing this a while. Maybe this might help:
