Which Linux version

I noticed, probably because the release has not been updated, for a long time, Ubuntu seems to have dropped FPC.
That is not a problem, because you can add Debian repositories to the the sources.list or sources.list.d of Ubuntu.

That seems very unlikely. Ubuntu gets most packages from Debian Unstable and the Debian Pascal eam appears very tolerant of FPC slow release program. It still appears available on my clean U24.0 VM, no extra repos enabled.

Hi everybody:
For those interested, Linux Mint now has a LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) version that runs on 32-bit or 64-bit computers.

Have a good day.

I only toy with Linux every now and then, but for me I don't like the Ubuntu desktop or the default Debian desktop, I find Xfce much more agreeable
I like easy access to apps and folders, also I want to be able to right-click to "open terminal here" including on the desktop
another pet-peeve about the default Ubuntu and Debian desktops is the 4 steps to shutdown
Debian with Xfce is Ok but I prefer Zorin or Mint LMDE

Not sure if this question belongs here, but what is a good Linux variant to start with? And of course Lazarus is doing well. I see many variants but understand that Linux Mint and Ubuntu are widely used.

Hi Hansvb. You can test drive most distros here: Test Linux Distros Online

Yeah, right. Where is Debian trixy? Years behind that website ;)
But good for orientation.
