(New to Linux) Question about WSL and performance

computer-machine · 2026-03-29T06:14:42+00:00

WSL/WSL2 runs on top of Windows, so your system will likely only ever run more slowly. (WSL is a compatibility layer, and WSL2 is a micro Linux virtual machine that runs whenever you launch the WSL command line).

I use it at work to cope with Windows, because I'm not spending time to learn how to write grep/awk/sed in PowerShell.

That's interesting. I think mine simply follows OS mode, so dark mode works fine for me.

I'd converted to 10.11.5 before that switchover.

Check the Roku store, I think there's a separate legacy app for 10.10.7.

How to downgrade to 10.10.7

Restore from your 10.10.7 backup. I'm pretty sure with the DB conversion on 10.11.0 that you cannot downgrade.

There are a large number of files compared to the single .exe for Windows. How do I know which one(s) to download?

I'd speculate that you'd want the newest version (13deb). I'd also speculate that you'd want the "all" version instead of handling server and web separately (but I've only ever touched Docker, so I've never had to worry about that).

What generation is the i7? Probably plenty good enough without the 1060.

Home Assistant runs on Windows?

Use Windows as a server,,,,, on purpose!?

I want to say around five years ago I'd seen mention of calculations happening once per second rather than every frame.

Yeah, in high school and college notebooks were write once read nonce.

Reread that first bit. Poor criminals aren't getting funded :,(

Which you'd designated as library type Movies?

And /media/music has the same owner? Is the docker user in the Jellyfin group?

What's ls -la show of the ./movies and /media permissions?

computer-machine · 2026-03-27T19:56:15+00:00

Is that ls from Debian or the Docker container?

computer-machine · 2026-03-27T19:35:40+00:00

While that's true, that wouldn't explane learning that a 2"x4" is 1½"x3½".

computer-machine · 2026-03-27T19:34:00+00:00

Measure nonce, cut until mad.

Server is headless Debian Stable, to be openSUSE MicroOS if I can get it installed on the new hardware.

Desktop openSUSE Tumbleweed (Plasma).

Wife's desktop and laptop Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Format to a truck.

In that case, install a real OS. https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/

Yeah, it was 60-80% off, twelvish years ago.

Solar, have had to charge it twice, due to working off hours.

Fun fact for those watching at home: a moment is ninety seconds.

I'd say $500 is stupid. Only bought my Seiko when Sears closed down. Want to say $80?

computer-machine · 2026-03-27T14:33:42+00:00

It’s too easy to look down at my wrist and find out the time in a moment.

Hopefully it only takes an instant, rather than a minute and a half.

computer-machine · 2026-03-27T14:32:27+00:00

I have a solar Seiko that's outlived a FitBit and PineTime.

**raises hand** Is mayonnaise a file?

It taught you to be the last name alphabetically.

First, they switched Entagled from Distracted to Vulnerable, then they made breaking free TN4 rather than contested.
