Hi this is Palak Sharma I am newbie here, I found this platform while researching about Linux. I don't know from where I have to start it. However I observed that this platform is a hub of many technical knowledges, and I am sure that there are lots of useful information and knowledge that I can learn from here. Well I am in third year of my Computer Science and Engineering. I like doing coding in various programming languages. Python is one of my favorite programming language. Whenever I get free time I often searched about new technical things. In one post I found that doing work in Linux OS is better as compare to doing work with Window OS because at the time of coding or you can say when you operate with too many tabs then often it has been reported that window computer is getting slow or hang problem comes with it, while it is not done with Linux OS. I want to do my work with Linux OS and today over Internet I was searching for some Linux Terminal for working with for Linux OS. Can anyone suggest some Linus Terminal that can be use with Linux OS. Hoping for some positive responses. Will be a great support. Thanks

Hi, We are new to Tinker Board coming from Raspberry Pi 4. We need an OS to build upon and to decide which components we want to install. Although the Asus Linux guys seem to have don a great job in building a Linux with all the bells and whistles, but our system must be light weight, as it runs as an IoT device and I can not afford/risk to update any oft the certainly upcoming vulnerabilities in packets which we are not using anyways. As we will run 1000s of these devices, I can not carry around unnecessary packets. So instead of taking the heavy Tinker OS, throwing away everything Asus was working so hard on, I need a Debian base image to add stuff. Raspberry OS has a tiny version which was a perfect start, but it does not run on ATB . So far, I haven't been able to install anything else than Tinker OS. All alternatives I tried simply did not start up (regardless of the maskrom jumper): DietPi Tinker Board DietPi RockPro64 Armbian Debian ARm Tinker OS boots up immediately. Is there a Debian based distro available to start building the required configuration upon? Thanks
