Mine is more like. “LOW BATTERY, PLEASE RECHARGE HEADSET” proceeds to play music over my tinnitus.

Mint is great for older hardware performance wise. It’s also one of the most polished distros in terms of things like updates, settings and updates. The Ubuntu/Debian ecosystem is also better supported by 3rd parties than Arch and Red Hat.

Elementary is a lot of the same, but the UI is more for Mac refugees.

It is lagging a bit on the latest gaming support. Thats what bazzite(Fredora) and CachyOS(Arch) are doing very well at the moment. They are a bit heavier on hardware requirements though, but still less than Windows.

But your isp modem will have total access to your local devices.

Most other phone brands don’t unlock their bootloaders anymore, so GrapheneOS can’t support them, even if they want to.

What I meant, is that they are not commonly used anymore, because of how expensive rackspace and power has become in commercial settings.

Front loading bays though. Most 3.5 inch drives go in top loading bays. Do they looking like modern 3.5inch drives, or older ones?

If those are 2.5" SAS mechanical drives those servers were likely being shipped off to a recycler.

SSDs and 3.5 inch drives are the only things still in active use in most places.

This is Mac

And this is Windows

If this sort of risk exists, you need to be able to remove a key to disable the controls.

This is what I am referring to. Many macOS people work like this:

Never got the Mac trend of not using your full screen. I get even less why Gnome copied it.

Most Americans barely speak comprehensible English. We tolerate that, so it’s not much for them to do the same in return.

Why would you need to expose SSH for everyday use? Or does Jellyfin require it to function?

Maybe leave that behind some VPN access.

I tend to wear a special hat that allows me to consume music in any format or device I like.

and then go donate to, or purchase music directly from the artists that I like.

Who said Wayland was going to be the death? (Excluding canonical) Everyone knew X needed to be replaced and that the transition will be slow until its not.

And systemd is not that bad these days. I do think it’s more complex than it needs to be and startup is a bit slow, but that’s about it.

GNOME making the huge changes inspired the refugees to build Cinnamon and injected some sense into KDE development. Now even GNOME is getting more sensible.

While I appreciate the dedication, I am looking for something more akin to firefox 4.0 levels of functionality and resources usage.

Back when your browser used around 512mb of RAM when you had 40 tabs open.

Now if only browsers can become that lightweight again.

Luna and Abby. Our two Bull mastiffs. 6 and 3 years old. 130kg of professional weighted blankets.

Some arch+hyprland would be awesome on even this hardware.

Mandrake 2003. Followed by Ubuntu server 5.10 in 2005.

Switched to Debian in 2020, been on Debian since.
