My favorite linux operating system is Elementary OS. Actually it runs without any issues on a Mac Mini from 2012.
After installation I install the following software to fulfillment my developer environment.
sudo apt install git-all zsh emacs-nox nodejs npm curl imagemagick xdotool ghostscript qpdf texlive
Maybe also pavucontrol parallel tmux.
Additional Software, which has to be downloaded first:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt install ./Ulaa-Browser-***.deb
sudo apt install ./code_***.deb
sudo apt install ./zettlr***.deb
sudo apt install ./telegram***.deb
sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"
Install the fonts and setup in terminal (s. comment) with:
gsettings set io.elementary.terminal.settings font 'MesloLGS NF'
Setup Powerlevel10k theme:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
