#73Linux
|
||
## Description
|
||
|
||
73 Linux supports x86_64 Debian based systems. Now you can load up a laptop running
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
# Compatibility
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
**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
|
||
|
||
sudo apt install git
|
||
|
||
and then run the git clone command again.
