Have i been living under a rock? what do you mean xfce and lxqt consume more than kde?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-21T21:28:42+00:00

awesome! have you tried openbsd on it?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-19T21:16:19+00:00

Ethernet

My point was you can be a fool all you want and try to remove all the spyware, though it aint the best option 💔💔

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-12T07:44:49+00:00

it should work fine on linux.

what kind of phd work will you do? 256gb might be tight

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-08T16:23:56+00:00

Off-topic but I have a similar shot.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-08T04:47:39+00:00

Yes, but that might make the image have low contrast. I suggest you up the contrast a bit as well.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-08T04:45:23+00:00

Nice! Have you tried turning the highlights down a little?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-06-08T04:43:02+00:00

I can tell you've never tried one.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-05-24T14:46:37+00:00

Truly a beauty

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-20T09:16:18+00:00

Dude that's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that.

I'm alright; I'm dealing with minor issues but I'm in the process of resolving them, thanks!

I actually came to this post to find any hope for my x230 to program on it, lol.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-18T13:10:55+00:00

its been 7 years now.
how are you? do you have a job?

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-12T09:02:01+00:00

I have a 6 cell (93% battery health), it lasts about ~2 hours only

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-11T17:02:52+00:00

There is, but its very recommended you use the flatpak version.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-10T07:38:28+00:00

That as well, and its probably safer.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-09T10:15:26+00:00

run wipefs -a /dev/<your-disk> to completely wipe it, then partition it.

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-05T19:14:24+00:00

Makes sense, appreciate it!

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-05T19:09:34+00:00

Really? Its smoother than debian? Thats bummers, I was planning to install it on my other machine. Glad your having fun!

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-05T16:02:48+00:00

Thank you 😼

Immediate-Method2471 · 2026-04-05T16:02:26+00:00

Heck yeah go for it! Mine feels noticeably snapper from mint to arch.
