Mint is a repo with a few packages (including a config file that removes snap, based) for Ubuntu. Ubuntu’s KDE packaging sucks. Source: installed Plasma on Mint once. Surprisingly usable, though. Also, some dependency brings in a fontconfig file that makes all fonts made by google ugly as fuck. Forgot filename but it had a ChromiumOS copyright header, go figure yourself.
As if that’s ever going to happen…
It… sort of exists. Different ones exist with slightly different goals, but they are all paid for by companies to promote their stuff. Like forcing everyone to use GitHub because they are the main sponsor. Not like OOP (Original Original Poster) where it’s speculated, I mean usually it’s just public and people don’t care. Shameless self plug (apart from that one there’s “Code Club” and also a few a dozen initiatives that die out quickly).
Was. Also, the chans were satire. The people who can’t read satire came in after.
The maintainer for ALARM literally went on vacation and never came back. All commits are automations on the GitHub account. That’s why Asahi switched to Fedora.
Ok? not even remotely impressive
Don’t forget to add role="none" for accessibility.
Wait until you find out that people made and still make sites that load on both IE and Netscape.
mb, updated
“Firefox” lol.
Anyways, MUSL.
nuh uh

I also have one somewhere that runs Minecraft
I don’t know how your monitor is this efficient, mine consumes around that exact amount (40 watts) according to “displayspecifications.com”.
Anyways, with my laptop eDP panel instead (driven by sway), external keyboard, external mouse, I have running:
Let’s look at upower -d:
energy: 35,926 Wh
energy-empty: 0 Wh
energy-full: 35,926 Wh
energy-full-design: 53,049 Wh
(...)
energy-rate: 5,64 W
time to empty: 6,3 hours
(...)
capacity: 67,7223%
technology: lithium-ion
roflmao (no, I don’t know why my battery is already this dead, or at least is counted as such)
EDIT: before anyone mentions how a laptop is cheating, mini PCs all have laptop CPUs/APUs anyway
Yes, but the user doesn’t want it. To quote them:
I have a capable desktop, and I mean to push it
Also, Raspberry are greedy bastards, shit’s overpriced. May as well use another SBC for a much smaller price. Or one of the Chromebooks that would otherwise be e-waste.
Interpreting arguments as being negative; no thank you.
I was writing a really long answer but it disappeared, fuck me.
Anyways, I guess I am going to skip the scientific explanation, but CachyOS’s optimizations most of the time mean energy efficiency. Most of the time. It’s not a hard guarantee, could make things much worse depending on what’s running.
Now, as for distributions. Load one of the following with a copy of sway-git or hyprland (or if your box is old enough to have 2D acceleration, better use TWM, DWM…).
If you want a “traditional” distribution, like when you can just run some random binary from the interwebs and meet most of it’s assumptions to let it “just run”, I suggest Arch Linux (yes, really) with a thing called “ALHP.go” (basically repos that provide optimized packages just like CachyOS, except that this is the original). I don’t know of anything like CachyOS and ALHP elsewhere anywhere, so this may be the most performing option.
If you are fine with having to run a container for the unity shovelware friends send you, look into Adelie Linux and Alpine. They are energy efficient, but for the wrong reasons: lighter weight component alternatives just means less work to do. In Alpine, the packages are also optimized for storage rather than performance, which has a side effect that your CPU can load whole chunks of programs into cache and use RAM less. If you are fine with a virtual machine on non-Linux, you probably wouldn’t need this advice, but there’s midnightBSD and OpenBSD and such. OpenBSD is meant for security and not performance (even blocks multi threading by default), but it comes with the side effect of being very small and thus energy efficient.
Technically, a source distribution like T2 or Gentoo would be the most performant AND energy efficient, but you need to burn quite a lot of electricity to get there first and to install updates. Using clang instead of GCC makes this a bit less painful but still. UNLESS you just rent a server and offload everything there with something like distcc.
Now, a few little remarks:
echo "1" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq.You can also make scripts like this (example is for Arch):
minimize_network_services.sh
#!/bin/sh
sudo systemctl stop snowflake-proxy
sudo systemctl stop i2pd
sudo systemctl stop ipfs@alex.service
sudo systemctl stop zerotier-one
sudo systemctl stop gnunet
sudo systemctl stop tor
akonadictl stop
pkill -9 akonadi
pkill -9 Telegram
pkill -9 signal-desktop
pkill -9 steam
no_network_services.sh
#!/bin/sh
. ./minimize_network_services.sh
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo rfkill block wlan
sudo systemctl stop ntpd
min_network_services.sh
#!/bin/sh
sudo rfkill unblock wlan
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
sudo systemctl start ntpd
yes_network_services.sh
#!/bin/sh
. ./min_network_services.sh
sudo systemctl start snowflake-proxy
sudo systemctl start i2pd
sudo systemctl start gnunet
systemctl --user start ipfs
Depends on which governor
Default one.
Android
That’s also bad, but there’s a difference: developers on Android know about this and do workarounds like keeping a notification open. Because Android is Android, it always has this. No existing program elsewhere is designed around this.
Turn down the frequency
Kernel already does.
Clean up unused programs
??? So it would close my IRC client when I look away? Fuck that.
“GMail takeout files” aren’t a thing. mbox is a standard file format from Unix. Some Unix-likes provide the
mailcommand and on others you have to installs-nail, after which you can domail -f {path to mbox}to view all mail inside. If there are multiple files, you can literally just concatenate them like so:cat /somedirectory/*.mbox > theultimate.mbox.Apart from that, most GUI mail clients allow viewing mbox. When the mbox file updates, the client says you have new mail. For example, in Claws Mail, skip setup, then go to plugins and enable the mbox plugin (while you are there, may as well enable pgp, s/mime, calendar, dillo to handle all formats). Then, go to create new account, and in the “Basics” tab, select “local mbox file” for "Receive protocol ". It will then ask for a file path.
Also, if your Google account settings allow, you can literally just login to Google from Claws mail. Set protocol to IMAP, then set Authentication method to Oauth2 in both Receive and Send tabs. Proceed with setup as usual and it will open your default web browser to login. After that, it will download your entire history of mail.
