I’ve been using the original m1 running a lineage OS based android TV for a couple years. It’s perfect. I added a nvme drive for a “DVR” in tivimate, but we rarely use it. I use a cheapo 2.4ghz remote from Amazon.

I had to hunt for it. Meta threads and activitypub. I remember a big hullabaloo about it a while back.

Hmm. My uneducated guess is maybe increased resources needed for federation? I’m sure lemmy.world is still growing at a steady clip. Are we federated with the meta thing?

Whatever you did is working. I have no more issues.

What is driving the increased demand for resources?

I’ve been daily driving Linux since the early 00s and docker confounds me too, especially the networking. I’m not familiar with bottles. I just play all my games on steam and it’s seamless.

Slackware current.

This isn’t a troll. I use it to game on my dual core pentium lovingly dubbed ‘the craptop’. And I use it to game on my mid-tier gaming PC.

I’ve been a slackware user since the late 90s. I take for granted how easy it is to install today. I’ve been tinkering with a socket 7 build, and nothing is easy. Installing slackware 8 is a pain in the ass. I can’t even get half my hardware working on win95! It’s not like riding a bicycle.

Well now they can spend a billion rebuilding with very little of their own money. Socialism for me, not for thee.

Be your own package manager. Choose slackware.

I bet a lot of those people voted for Trump.

I second any recommendation for a kde based distro. Ubuntu or it’s derivatives are the easiest place to start. Kubuntu is the kde based flavor iirc.

My daughter just turned 6 and is competent with a mouse and keyboard. They have kid friendly houses and keyboards on Amazon for cheap. She’s been daily driving slackware since she was 4 and has no idea how badass she is yet.

Gcompris is a great app. It’s a bunch of games for kids to learn letters, typing, mouse skills and some stuff just for fun. Install it on whatever distro you land on. Also, tuxpaint.

Wanna cyber?

Underrated sick burn

Ssshhhh, don’t let the guitar players in on our secrets.

Neat! I didn’t know we had a guitar community.

I first tried Mandrake for a couple days in the late 9ps because I heard it was easy. It was definitely easy to brick my system and have no idea why!

So I switched to Slackware and never looked back. I’m still daily driving Slackware all these years later.

Samesies

Like what? (Curious)

I’d get myself banned this way. I forget the -p flag at least once per week.

I’ve had good luck with these guys: https://cloudfanatic.net/pricing/

I think they would fall in the less resources category. But they offer unlimited data transfer, and you can use any distro you want. I run slackware btw.
