Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?
Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?
The great thing about Linux is that there are options for everyone.
Want an OS with a full desktop installed? We got you.
Want an OS with almost nothing installed where you can make every single decision? We got you.
Want to build the OS entirely from scratch? We got you.
There’s an option for everyone and that’s cool. Don’t be mad about having a choice.
You may find it laughable but it is what it is. Most people does not enjoy signing up for specific product forums. It’s much easier to just add yet another discord server to the list.
If plasma could put all their damn files inside a “plasma” folder that’d be great too.
Hyprland is pretty sweet, to be honest.

That reminds me, I do own a pine64 device! It was the first thing I got on Kickstarter.
It’s a Pine A64, with 2gb RAM. I wonder if it has enough power to run all those things. It’s a budget device from 8 years ago, probably gonna have a hard time but I’ll give it a try if I manage to find it!
Raspberry Pi was my first choice, but apparently I can’t even back order it :/
Even worse than I thought, then :/
apt uses debians packages and debian repositories. Unless they recently created an alias or something, it should install debian packaged version!
If you use apt-get you aren’t using snaps, you are unaffected.
Snap is a format created by Canonical which has a really funky proprietary back end. The default application store in Ubuntu uses this format and has been plagued with an impersonation problem. Since everyone could submit snaps there was a lot of spyware posing as legit software. My main gripe was when the snap store just decided to unilaterally close and update my Firefox while I was using it.
Linux Mint does NOT have snaps and even had a debian based version. Pretty neat
Power to you, friend. But with current snap store out of the box it’s really hard to recommend Ubuntu to anyone. Linux Mint seems such a better choice to newbies.
At the end of the day it’s not really a big deal, people should just use whatever feels best.
Linux Mint should be the default answer for newbies. Tech savvy users can probably find “the right distro” themselves.
They mean the user will happily pay for the new windows version instead.
In my case, windows start to flickr intensively after a while. I tried a bunch of flags and workarounds but nothing worked for me.
I use the proprietary driver, though.
They’re quite cheap nowadays, amirite?
Even the most basic actions, like walking, require time to learn. Linux has some very user friendly distributions like Ubuntu or Linux Mint where you can basically auto-learn really fast. You don’t have to start with Arch Linux nor should you.
Linux will never compete with Windows because most people will never bother to change whatever OS came with their laptop. That had nothing to do with the community.
Thanks for the feedback. We currently use a self-hosted Gitlab on our company but it uses a lot of resources. Was wondering if I should take a look at forgejo.
Not sure I would want to host my code on a random instance…
Does it support CI, or is just a version control?
No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD
