  • Do you daily drive htop or something? ๐Ÿ˜†

  • Haha, I've been used to 4gb ram minimum for most of my life ๐Ÿ˜†

  • I'll keep these in mind, hope debian still got 32 bit version of these packages.

  • Ikr? Makes me wonder what that celeron was meant for? It barely ran the Win 7 that came preinstalled. That's why I'm so happy to see it run modern Debian with modern packages. Also why I'm doing some research on CPUs to upgrade it to

  • It ain't high enough to do playback on VLC tho :p but can do some nice fun with it

  • Good luck trying to run neofetch๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™

  • Oh, I tried.. But the CPU/GPU is just TOO slow for that, SNES was the best I could do

  • Parasyte mentioned๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ

  • 2001 gang, where y'all at?

  • Fair point. Just to be clear: I am NOT a developer, so I may be very wrong on that take.

    But from what I understand, the difference from what snaps does to what traditional packages does is that the Canonical repos are hard coded in it, thus making it harder to decentralise, and that's not very in line with what many wish for a FOSS ecosystem.

  • I'm mentioning the "proprietary backend" drama around snaps. Not that I care too much, anyway. I use lots of proprietary software daily

  • something something snap package

  • bite

    Jump
  • It actually does, LOL!

  • I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it's still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

  • Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I'm Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

  • But isnt this like asking "Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch"?

    Windows has it's own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it's own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

    To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn't move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android's .apk, right?

    I'm not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you're free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all ๐Ÿ˜

  • Cat Bird is a very simple indie platformer that's for free on the play store that ai kinda love alot. If you don't mind doing some set up, emulation makes you phone a pretty solid portable console. On the ports side of things, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are pretty good games

  • If you enjoyed Mint, what about moving to LMDE?

  • Technically I first experuenced Linux as a very small kid in 2009 in my school computers, but my first time trying Linux for my personal desktip usage was in December 11, 2021, when I first tried Linux Mint. My setup was a very humble, 14 years old, ddr2 board, and I was amazed at how much faster Cinnamon was compared to Windows 10. Since then, I already helped about 5 people to move to Linux too ๐Ÿ˜
