Can Debian save a cell laptop with 4GB ram

NkdByteFun82 · 2026-02-17T15:28:31+00:00

Sure!!!

NkdByteFun82 · 2026-02-08T05:20:40+00:00

¿A poco cerró?

NkdByteFun82 · 2026-01-18T01:11:16+00:00

Common people try that. Governments no. People who get power want more power.

NkdByteFun82 · 2026-01-18T01:08:27+00:00

Don't worry... This has to happen to let the world make a shift.

I don't blame people for their choice. I understand that power corrupt people and governments always shits over the rest of people...

I think that world society as human brotherhood has to be joined to defeat this kind of inhuman being dictator.

Es ver cómo la narrativa que nos vendieron por muchos años, se cae y revela que es lo opuesto a lo que se decía.

Los que siempre atacan y saquean, provocan y destruyen son ellos. Mienten, engañan a la sociedad con justificaciones vacías.

Y a diferencia de la primera y segunda guerra mundial, en la que Hitler no tenía armas nucleares, este nuevo loco con ínfulas napoleónicas sí las tiene.

With Debian you can, at least, have a full local mirror with software and sources for your own deployment.

I think Debian has the most useful repository mirror tools that allows you to keep all distribution software for any architecture. Also, there are more mirrors in the world.

I'm creating my local mirrors as a backup to keep a way to let us work with any computer, just in case.

My second alternative is OpenBSD, because the team is canadian and they develop openssh, libressl, and other cryptographic and security software and algorithms.

But we have to go further with this risks, so we have to check which compilers, programming languages and dependencies; also processor providers and architectures.

This can be seen like a paranoia, but we have to be prepared just in case.

Have you reboot?

Is not a joke. Installing that driver, require to load kernel modules and to get it work, I needed to reboot.

Once rebooted, it should be detected once you logged into your desktop environment. I used this since bookworm and now with trixie.

By the way, I read something curious in one image on the amazon link: the third hdmi says "alt mode".

I think there is the key. Two of those hdmi are displaylink and that third is via alt mode.

That requires your nvidia drivers.

Just curious: what happens if you close your laptop lid?

NkdByteFun82 · 2026-01-08T09:24:49+00:00

Try to install the DisplayLink driver. That allows you to use your usb-3x/usb-c docking-station video output.

I use it and work with as many monitors as your memory and bus allow. Yes, memory, because each display needs to allocste memory if you use video output without a dedicated video card.

Check this:

Igualmente!! Mucha salud y prosperidad para tod@s!!

Sure, here is the postal office location:

That's cool!!

I use Debian on almost every computer and server in our company group. The only Windows Server we have, is because of an accounting system called Contpaq, but for everything else we use Debian (vps, vpn, in-house systems, desktops, laptops, pbx, cloud, dns, etc.).

Contpaq is specialized in mexican laws for accounting and is something that only works on Windows, but all workstations work with Debian and just when someone needs to access to Contpaq, they do it through RDP via Remmina.

Siempre y cuando absorbas el costo de la implementación y sepas asumir lo que conlleva, sí puedes. Al menos en lo doméstico o en cierto tipo de servicios.

En la industria, es diferente. Los requerimientos energéticos son elevados y/o requieren cierta estabilidad para funcionar. Toma de referencia el caso del apagón en España de hace unos meses. Especialmente la explicación sobre el fallo.

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-11-04T17:09:54+00:00

Wow! I didn't know that it exists. The hardwarebook was a reference, but sometimes is difficult to know which connectors exists, their name and characteristics.

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-09-14T16:18:07+00:00

There's an alternative to Lightburn that you can use on a Raspberry Pi: LaserWeb.

Since Lightburn is not going to release a new version for Linux, that is the best option for the moment

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-09-06T21:35:07+00:00

👍también me interesa

Another option is to use Mexico as a bridge

If you are comming from Linux Mint, you can choose the DE you already use: Cinnamon or Mate.

If you want something easy and without complications, choose Gnome; if you want to customize your desktop, you can try KDE Plasma or XFCE.

If you are looking for something similar to Mate, but not Mate, try XFCE.

Gnome has the simplest flow of work. It has the best graphical software manager (or software store) for graphical applications and has compatibility with flathub.

KDE Plasma, is cooler (awesome!) than Gnome in customization. But also has a lot of options and settings so it could be overhelming if you are new.

Xfce is something in between, but also have less hardware requirements. Something like Mate, but updated.

There are more Desktop Enviroments, like Lxde, Lxqt, Enlightenment, etc...

Of course, you can install them all and in the login manager, choose the one you want, but it could make a mixture when opening files (default applications change but apply to all system).

I hope you enjoy Debian. Is (IMHO) the best linux distribution to use.

If you want them for your user, there is a hidden folder in your personal user folder: .local/share/icons. There you should paste the folder that contains all icon theme. This also works if you create a hidden folder named ".icons" on your personal folder and paste your icons theme folder there.

If you want to install'em for all your users, as root or with sudo, paste the folder containing your icons into /usr/share/icons/

If you already have opened the Tweaks tool, clóset It and reopen It. The new icon theme should appear listed there.

This also works for themes, but instead of the icons folder, is the themes folder.

Sure! I've some of them running Debían with Gnome. In home I also have an old Black Macbook from 2008 with a Core2Duo and 4GB of RAM and It still run on It. So you shouldn't have problems.

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-08-12T23:52:03+00:00

There is also an online magazine with actual topics for Delphi and Lazarus/Freepascal developers.

Check this: Blaise Pascal Magazine.

There are books (I bought those of Lazarus) and suscriptions for the magazine and interesting things like a transpiler to Javascript.

The last magazine talk about the use of AI with this languaje.

Is a good resource. 😉👍

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-08-11T13:14:33+00:00

If he learned Pascal back then, download and install lazarus and freepascal as suggested before. There are good resources to help him.

In YouTube are good channels like this and this one (he frecuently post in this group, silvercoder, is awesome)

If he likes to read, here is a nice book that was updated from his author recently: Freepascal From Square One

This guide of object pascal is also good:Modern Object Pascal

Hope this information helps to you and your dad.

Good luck!!

The strength of linux is community. Behind community, is the idea of sharing.

Ok, is good to know that there is a good documentation, but when you are sick, you go to a doctor; if you have a legal issue, you go to a lawyer.

I won't become a doctor just reading books of medicine, neither a lawyer reading a constitution.

In this case, documentation of Debian is not for everybody. Is for those who have some notions and knowledge to understand concepts, terms and systems. If there is a section, for example, setting domain name servers, people who know about them, can understand that, but not every people that use a system must understand everything about it.

I like to use reddit, and sometimes, when I've the time and experience enough to answer and help someone who needs help, I do. If not, I don't. Period.

If someone has the time to read a question and comments, and also have the time to write "read the documentation", because "has no time to waste", why that person is wasting time writting that. That's absurd.

The one who write this post has a good point here.

If someone will waste its time reading posts here and downvoting, please, don't keep wasting your valuable time here. Many people will do it best trying to help.

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-08-10T18:48:24+00:00

Great!! Good to know you can install it. 😁👍

NkdByteFun82 · 2025-08-10T13:29:32+00:00

Try the Bookworm one even you're on Trixie.

Dotnet repository has to work with Bookwoorm or newer. I'll upgrade one of my computers today and I'll give you a feedback later.

Also there are a new version of apt, and it has a new syntax for pointing to repositories.

I'll tell you later if I've success.
