yeah ive been considering it

i do have integrated graphics and a gpu, though i dont know if the bios has one set to run independently or something

happen to know of any distros that dont have this limitation and operate similarly to qubes? i havent heard of anything i know its a longshot 🙃

but maybe i could work on programming and making this a bit smoother if i like the rest of what qubes offers

for me i will likely play some games or use proprietary apps in windows or something and swap back to linux. i also develop for linux sometimes so being able to swap distros quickly and with good efficiency while being able to share files easily would be nice.

i dont know how viable qubes is for this use case. i like the concept of privacy but i dont need 100% lockdown for each app.

i hate dual booting with a passion, and i also hate how much my base OS interferes with the operation of a virtualized os.

yeah i was just wondering if there was a quick chart somewhere so i could be lazy

i have a ibm laptop with a really old ssd running and the health of everything looks very good. i never wrote a whole lot to the ssd, i feel like this computer could last 30 years or more without going fully obsolete. its just a basic laptop with not very good hardware that i use for looking up information during a tabletop game, read a pdf, or to browse the internet. sometimes i message people on it. perfect for my use case, and probably will never need anything more than this. it always has to be plugged in because the battery sucks now, but its lightweight and portable so its not a big deal.

Is there any info about how much the base system uses?

you should try damnsmalllinux, it had a revival recently. though the absolute smallest modern one is probably Slitaz? or alpine linux

though you can definitely set up debian to use less than 500 ram today, kde/gnome are kinda hogs

half the time i end up using some sort of esp product that costs 2-5 dollars per unit and buy them bulk from china and daisy chain them

way better than a pi

techbros are gonna have to start providing receipts on why they arent shit

i love debian + kde, i feel like its a match made in heaven. i also really like opensuse + kde

i just purged a bunch from /c/transgender. felt good. tell them to bring more. i want to splat them

world is straight up the worst instance, truly impressive how bad it is

why stay on world after that, what a shithole

yeah i mean if you have significant issues with migraines you prob shouldnt be taking it every day but rather finding a more permanent solution, also is that only ibuprofen? what about acetaminophen or nsaids

huh? how does one pill of ibuprofen do that? or is it taking it like every day or a drug interaction

i mean to what degree does it even affect your liver from taking one pill when you occasionally get a headache?

like it cant be worse than one beer, right

lemmy, im a content piggy. make more content for me to stare at blankly. thanks

everyone is a sap for beta testing a game for 8 years, lmao

AI actually can be very good at translating things locally while keeping tone and intent, and thats what mozilla mentions here. I’m fully down with AI powered local translation tools native to firefox, it’ll put it way above the competition

Some LLMs are low enough in resource usage to do this on weak and older PCs
