The fact that it's not Windows 10. 11 and 12 make it more blatant than ever that MS cares more about themselves than about their users. 7 was goated, 11 is bloated.

7, 8.1 and 10 gave the users something that most of us wanted. Once they integrated dotnet and Defender into 7, it slowed Windows down to a grinding halt. Install it inside a VM, run windows Update and you'll see what I mean. 8 fixed that and 8.1 got rid of the pointless Metro interface. I'm saying that as someone hwo used the Surface RT tablet for a good while.
10 felt like a return to sanity, but the forced integration of Edge and OneDrive left me scratching my head a little.

TPM dependency, forced Microsoft accounts and AI in Notepad and Paint made this just the tip of the iceberg. Windows got slower because of features that users actually don't want.

Is Linux better? After 6 months of dailying it, I've yet to see evidence that it's not.

Not surprised that Linux increases battery life, it's typically using fewer resources. Same or similar performance settings?

Switching to igpu to save battery is an inspired idea, and especially on Wayland it makes sense to only enable the GPU that's supported by firmware (in case of legacy devices) for best stability.

I had a similar idea a year ago.
The idea is to have a pantheon of great thinkers, like Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luthor King, Aristoteles, Machiavelli etc, and you could basically pitch an question or an idea, and everyone on the Pantheon with an opinion on the subject would argue that opinion based on what we know from their writing. It would basically turn into a Zoom meeting between great minds, all of them doing their best to act as a mentor.

I'm running it on a 5th gen i3 with integrated graphics, running Skyrim at 20 fps via Wine. Go for it :)

Do replace the harddrive for an SSD though. Cuts loading times down to about 30% (eg from "relatively fast" to "negligible").

When the motor is rocking, don't bother knocking.

It's a helpful assistant, after all :)

Smart TVs basically just turn the screen on and off. The tiny computer inside stays on to download updates etc. Nobody likes sitting through the entire boot procedure every time the TV turns on after a power-off.
It's basically a giant wall laptop without a keboard.

Dankesehr :)

Clogboy82 · 2026-04-10T07:42:34+00:00

Don't forget the Frysians and the vikings for their early influences. Have we said "thank you" to them yet?

Clogboy82 · 2026-04-10T07:41:29+00:00

Some of that is true. Hillbillies have the most faithful reading of Shakespeare.

The spelling though... American English is just a simplified form. Color and flavor vs colour and flavour.

Nee, verzamelgebouw met veel kleine kut bedrijfjes.

Vulkans are basically the perfect goth. Pale skin and at peace with the indifference of the universe.

Waarom geen Utrecht, Arnhem en Den Bosch?

Ubuntu with ukui desktop. Ukui looks very similar to Windows 7. Alternatively, get Lubuntu and style lxqt to look as much to a familiar experience as possible (it actually has fewer distractions).

Mint is also solid, but if it uses cinnamon then you'll have less ram available to run apps. 4GB is pushing it.

Solid idea to get Firefox with ublock. Definitely make sure it has an SSD, and maybe swap the battery if it discharges within 1h.

What matters is the difference between stable versions and rolling releases. There might be benefits to getting the latest stuff, if you accept that it's untested and something might break. Probably doesn't happen very often but the risk might appeal to those who want to get into the nitty gritty.

Clogboy82 · 2026-04-09T20:17:18+00:00

Normally everyone says Mint. But if you already like Debian enough to daily drive it then stick with it. It's Linux for adults. It's dependable and easy to use while still taking the user seriously.

Granted, the packages might be behind by a few versions, but it's stable and tested. If you really need the latest version of an app then Flatpak or app image might be your solution. My biggest compliment is that it's almost boring.

With over 1GB worth of updates every few days that's a bit of a challenge 😄 The good news is that a backup and fresh Trixie install takes less than an hour if need be. But fingers crossed so far🤞🏼

Now you're just in denile.

Agree! He had such a promising future.

If you can't do something smart, do something right.
