I use a Windows VM (Tiny10 works ok here) in whatever lightweight linux OS I’m fucking with at the time. All my files and stuff are on a local server so I can swap distros easily if I want.
Usually it runs ok, can game, and I dont have to deal with restarting a bunch of stuff. I’ve been using CachyOS, not sure if I like it yet
yeah ive been considering it
i do have integrated graphics and a gpu, though i dont know if the bios has one set to run independently or something
happen to know of any distros that dont have this limitation and operate similarly to qubes? i havent heard of anything i know its a longshot 🙃
but maybe i could work on programming and making this a bit smoother if i like the rest of what qubes offers
for me i will likely play some games or use proprietary apps in windows or something and swap back to linux. i also develop for linux sometimes so being able to swap distros quickly and with good efficiency while being able to share files easily would be nice.
i dont know how viable qubes is for this use case. i like the concept of privacy but i dont need 100% lockdown for each app.
i hate dual booting with a passion, and i also hate how much my base OS interferes with the operation of a virtualized os.
yeah i was just wondering if there was a quick chart somewhere so i could be lazy
i have a ibm laptop with a really old ssd running and the health of everything looks very good. i never wrote a whole lot to the ssd, i feel like this computer could last 30 years or more without going fully obsolete. its just a basic laptop with not very good hardware that i use for looking up information during a tabletop game, read a pdf, or to browse the internet. sometimes i message people on it. perfect for my use case, and probably will never need anything more than this. it always has to be plugged in because the battery sucks now, but its lightweight and portable so its not a big deal.
Is there any info about how much the base system uses?
you should try damnsmalllinux, it had a revival recently. though the absolute smallest modern one is probably Slitaz? or alpine linux
though you can definitely set up debian to use less than 500 ram today, kde/gnome are kinda hogs
half the time i end up using some sort of esp product that costs 2-5 dollars per unit and buy them bulk from china and daisy chain them
way better than a pi
techbros are gonna have to start providing receipts on why they arent shit
i love debian + kde, i feel like its a match made in heaven. i also really like opensuse + kde
Marxism isnt a orthodoxy that needs to be followed like a religion, im not going to judge the protest actions of others if it serves to protest a ongoing genocide being comitted by that persons government.
You absolutely should be against chain suicides, like any good person is.
Firstly, cool. That doesnt change anything about how much you’re smugging over a dead person rather than allowing it to inspire.
Because it shouldn’t be copied, by anyone. There were many dozens of people that did this during Vietnam, of similar ages. Did that cause America to stop? No. None of the protesting did. Military defeat at the hands of Vietnamese communists did.
‘Inspiration’ and nonsense does not make a change in the world. All it does is add another sad headline, of which there are plenty to be had.
Says who? You?
Material reality. People have done this before for a myriad of causes. Does it stop empire? No. Lenin never said ‘go kill yourself it totally will change everything’.
The people detracting this as ‘nothing’ are clearly so comfy in there own situations they cant imagine any action, nevermind a strong one like this having an impact.
I run a homeless shelter. Thats at least one thing you could do that is far better than killing yourself for a cause. In fact, anything is better.
Its not smug. I’m a communist and its just one less person that agrees with us and can help people. Did Bushnell doing this do anything? No.
AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I’m fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it’ll put it way above the competition
Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs
ROC is ‘Republic of China’. That means they think they are Chinese. USE YOUR BRAIN
itd be bad as a daily driver imo
