  • It's completely fine to use a beginner-friendly distro and stick with it. Just be aware you are missing a lot by not going deeper into linux.

    t. Started with ZorinOS. Ended up using (pretty much) anything that is in front of me, minimal install, sway, no DE. On a orange pi 5 MAX.

  • How to get into linux and stay with linux?

    Jump

  • Simply put -- you've got to realize a couple things:

    1- Linux is not Windows.

    2- Use Linux like a brand new type of software you never heard about -- do not make any pre-assumptions.

    3- Use Google to search for the most simple things, including "How do I install something on (Linux distro name you've chosen)"?

    4- Have some patience -- you won't learn (everything) on day one. There will be mistakes, there will be problems you will not solve em today. But you will solve em tomorrow.

    And here's a little "cheat sheet" of mine on how to use (and get used with) linux:

    1- Get used how to use the package manager. (Where you will search and install stuff.)

    2- Learn what are your audio and graphic packages (The "drivers") are. (See 3- above.)

    3- Learn how to run the stuff you installed.

    4- Learn how you configure the distro to your liking.

    Learn all these four steps, and you can consider yourself a linux "pro" user.

  • ttymenu. A dependency-free dmenu clone for the TTY.

    Jump

  • Forgot to mention it also has a "poor man's htop" at the top center of the screen, that fetches memory and cpu usage at each keystroke (only). Definitely not for the "powerhouse PC gamer" out there, but for the potatoes (raspberry pi zero, a very old router, etc).

  • That is a bunch of unnecessary noise just because an AI managed to code a working python code for you. Like that'd make your command "cursed" or some sort.

  • Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"

    Jump

  • Funny of you to say that. I've got a Orange pi 5 MAX (which I'm pretty sure it can fall into the "not a easy machine to install Linux" category) and the experience, for the most part, was straightforward. (You've mentioned an issue regarding mices --I've got a "Ragnok 2 gun mice" and it "just werked" on it. No tweaks or "mental gymnastics" required.). Hell, even enabling hardware acceleration was very straightforward as is -- you just have to know where and what to look for.

    I'm not trying to defend Pewdiepie -- just saying that Linux can be "user friendly" just like Windows if you know what you are dong.

  • A month with LFS (Linux From Scrath) + musl + eudev + libressl + qi package builder helper. What a great experience.

    Jump

  • You will go back to your "usual" linux setup when you realize that most packages you set up with LFS are now broken and you'll need to redo the whole process again.

    t. arch linux minimal installation only master race

  • Orange Pi RV RISC-V SBC with StarFive JH7110 SoC launched for $30 and up

    Jump

  • I'm (kind of) considering buying one of these just to play with it a bit.

  • Could I theoretically keep gaming on windows 10, while doing any other work (banking etc) on linux?

    Jump

  • Absolutely yes. You'd be better buying a dedicated PC for Linux tho.

    t. Got a Orange pi 5 MAX with Linux installed. It's tricky to set up, but worths a lot in the end (low power usage while providing a decent performance -- can be used as a "mini server" to host your own personal file server or anything else you'd like while providing a smooth experience for anything your job may require from it.)

  • Good distro for mostly gaming system?

  • "Oh, but it's a technical detail!" does not make what I said a false argument -- you are extrapolating for the sake of "being right".

  • Good distro for mostly gaming system?

    Jump

  • ...which these "customized kernels" can (also) be applied to any other distro.

  • Good distro for mostly gaming system?

    Jump

  • All distros are the same -- none packs a exclusive feature that makes gaming "better". Other than having predefined changes/packages that are more suitable for gaming.

    "tm". Todo manager on the CLI for potatoes.

  • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • I don't mind a little "change" every now and then, but still -- "Sway" on my "potatoes" (Orange pi zero 3 and Orange pi 5 max) and "Hyprland" on my x86_64 PC.

  • What's the best way to create dedicated devices with Linux?

    Jump

  • Dietpi user here. I've got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram serving me nextdns under docker + playing a live stream 24/7 (via yt-dlp/ffplay) and it does its job just nicely.

  • How to have a boring and low-maintenance system?

    Jump

  • Nice cherry picking/moving the goalpost, but that is not how refuting works. A PC at NASA has a much higher "threat level" than my Orange pi zero 3, just chilling on the background. Which means, a potential "security hole" may prove harmful for these pcs... but it'll definitely not hurt me in the slightest.

    And before you parrot with other links and/or excuses... yes, I'm not negating their existence. I'm just saying they are there... but, well... "who cares"? If anything, its much faster to set up my distro back up "just like never happened before" than performing any "maintenance" whatsoever. Again, "Common sense antivirus" reigns supreme here -- know what you are doing, and none of these things will matter.

  • "Procbal" -- dynamic process resource manager.

    Jump

  • Something in the line of https://gitlab.com/ananicy-cpp/ananicy-cpp ?

    Well, procbal does not need any configuration whatsoever -- just run it with the command you want, and its working. Just like that. Plus, dynamic adjustment trumps static rules—procbal reacts live to CPU/memory spikes while ananicy does not. Also, a proper, dynamic nice adjustment means more free resources for other commands running on the background. Which can also mean "free" performance depending of how "potato" is your pc.
