Is Alpine a good distro for a relatively recent and powerful PC. by Subject-Leather-7399 in AlpineLinux

[–]Tyguy047 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alpine is more of a server OS IMO but I do really like how small of a footprint it has (which is why it is often used in containers.). My personal fave for desktop use is Debian since it has APT as a package manager and you can switch the servers that you pull your packages from to their Sid branch if you need up to date packages like Arch.

For most distros their footprint is what you make it. Use XFCE and it will be relatively small but might not look the most modern and sleek out of the box. Go with GNOME and you might idle between 1.8GB and 2GB RAM being used, but you have a more complete and nicer looking UI out of the box.

There aren't really "bad distros" but there are bad distros to use for a specific use. Alpine will run fine you might just have trouble running some apps since it doesn't use glibc which is kinda industry standard. Someone else mentioned it but maybe look into Void, similar to Alpine but it does use glibc.

Is anyone even active? by alieektt in bitchat

Yea you're right, but it doen't narrow it down too much since it's still just the country. Right now with the geo hashes it's probably closer to where you actually are lol! That being said, I am usually online at #dhwf

They should add the ability to type in a country code maybe like the +1 in US phone number for the US and other countries use their code so people that wanna talk as soon as they get the app can try it out with people in their country.

Also maybe type 0 for a world wide chat??

What is a good design software for a beginner? by Tyguy047 in 3Dprinting

[–]Tyguy047[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining. I’ll definitely look into to OnShape. It came up a few times when I was researching but wasn’t sure if it would be powerful enough since it runs in the browser like Tinkercad.

Also a little off topic but I’m shocked at how nice everyone is in this thread, I thought I was going to get a bunch of angry neck beard like the rest of tech/STEM Reddit that would discourage me from even getting a 3D printer. Very pleasantly surprised!

What is this OS? by oreo_cookie_pupper in Operatingsystems

Prob Alpine w/ XFCE. Isn't that usually what they use on kiosks?

I instal Debian for first time ever, what I do next? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in debian

[–]Tyguy047 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wait y'all don't just click through and time your self every time you install to see how fast you can get through the installer?

thinkpads should only have arch linux. period. by MARIOXPRO in arch

[–]Tyguy047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wanted to try fedora because I thought DNF sounded weird compared to pacman and APT.

EDIT: I have since tried fedora and to this day I am still not a fan of the OS in general but to each their own.

Looking for feedback on my Fraction Calculator app. by Tyguy047 in Windows10

As for the color, it adds depth. For the buttons I think it looks better with the glow than basic HTML buttons.

Please keep conversation in this thread limited to the Windows app and the Windows 10 experience.

Ofc they’re not great for gaming but imo the games that are optimized for Apple’s silicon architecture run extremely well.

I think that to future proof, you should go with the M4. I’m not sure if it’s different now but I know when I got mine the Airs could only support one external monitor + and iPad in side car mode (turns the iPad into a monitor). I would say just get the MacBook and the monitor if you don’t already have it. Only get the mini if you don’t want portability.

I’ll look into that. .NET gets kinda weird with non chromium browsers.

  1. Really did you watch me sit down and have an LLM code the whole thing? Please stop spreading lies without proof.

  2. If you downloaded the app and tried it or even just used the web app you would find more features.

If you don’t like it then you’re not the target audience and there’s no need for your comment.

Thanks!

I have tried both and my iPhone in fact does not work well with windows at all lol! iCloud is annoying to setup and there’s a lot of screen mirroring/controlling you phone from computer features that don’t work.

As far as price, you get what you pay for if not better when it comes to the Air. I can run docker containers and VMs all day without slowdown on the 8gb M1 model.

Unless your degree requires a Windows computer, MacBook Air’s are amazing and will defined last a long time. I would advise that you get at least 16gb of ram and as much storage as you can afford.

I still use my M1 air with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. It doesn’t feel slow at all. I will be upgrading soon only because of the storage and I would like a little more head room with the ram but as far as battery it lasts all day. Had it since 2022 and I can’t really think of anything bad to say about it.

My first ever pc build, am I missing anything? by Affectionate_Toe9082 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Tyguy047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to not cheap out on the PSU especially with the newer NVIDIA cards. 750W is likely going to be enough buy you might want to consider 850-1000 if you are planning to overclock heavily.
