73 Linux supports x86_64 Debian based systems. Now you can load up a laptop running
|
2022-11-23 09:02:37 -06:00
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu or Mint with the same ease as previously on the Pi. To keep with the Build a Pi
|
|
|
|
|
|
traditions, you have **FULL** control over the build unlike pre-built images. It allows you to
|
|
|
|
|
|
choose the applications you want to install and skip the ones you don’t need. This keeps
|
|
|
|
|
|
your system as lean and mean as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another great feature is the ability to "side load" new apps. Anyone can write a bapp file
|
|
|
|
|
|
and drop it in the community directory and the 73 Linux menu system will automatically
|
|
|
|
|
|
load it right along with the core apps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just one small example of a custom bapp file would be if your organization uses a custom
|
|
|
|
|
|
Winlink form or custom FLMSG form. One savvy Linux user from your group could write a
|
|
|
|
|
|
custom bapp file to help others in the organization be certain the forms got installed
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the correct directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
End users still have full control over custom files and can choose to show or ignore
|
|
|
|
|
|
bapp files not included in the official 73 Linux package.

73 Linux is built and tested on Linux Mint. It should work equally well on Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you run into issues with Ubuntu and sudo, see https://github.com/km4ack/73Linux/issues/183

# Install
|
2022-11-23 17:15:26 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note:** VARA may not install on the first run. If it doesn't, run 73 Linux again and just choose VARA
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the second run.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Install is still super easy. Just run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/km4ack/73Linux.git $HOME/73Linux && bash $HOME/73Linux/73.sh
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If the above command fails, you may be missing git. If so, run
|
2024-08-05 12:04:44 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
2024-08-05 12:03:39 -05:00
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install git
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2024-08-05 12:05:37 -05:00
|
|
|
|
and then run the git clone command again.
