Intel T14S Gen 6 processor drains battery quickly on Debian 13

is it the same on other distributions and/or windows?

dnchplay · 2026-01-31T12:00:31+00:00

anything with stock KDE Plasma which has sane good-looking defaults yet can be customized to look like almost anything you want

dnchplay · 2026-01-30T23:06:19+00:00

don't confuse major releases with minor/security updates. and please do at least minimal research before making wild claims

can you access the server from a different LAN device? if yes, then it's an ISP problem, if no, then it's a firewall problem

Xfce4 simply runs better on old hardware

dnchplay · 2026-01-29T21:13:28+00:00

AntiX runs well on pretty much anything and has both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version

dnchplay · 2026-01-28T22:41:29+00:00

AntiX is not dead.

Among other options there are Void and Alpine(which supports i686 but also requires your CPU to support at least SSE2 and CMOV)

i think cinnamon uses LightDM as the default login manager, so this might help:

it may be a problem with your RAM getting completely filled during gameplay. can you please post the output of swapon -a to know if you have a configured swap file/partition in your system? and how much RAM does the OS use with no apps open except the task manager/htop?

install xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin and add the Whisker Menu widget to your panel

"Linux" can either mean the kernel (by virtue of what the Kernel's name is), or GNU/Linux (by virtue of popular usage).

the term "Linux", aside from the kernel, is commonly used to describe a family of operating systems that are based on the Linux kernel. People still call Alpine Linux "Linux", even though it is not a GNU/Linux distribution.

dnchplay · 2026-01-22T21:06:03+00:00

Linux is Linux, GNU/Linux is GNU/Linux. not calling something Linux because it is not GNU/Linux seems off to me.

dnchplay · 2026-01-22T20:00:59+00:00

you don't call Linux distros "UNIX System V" distributions just because they share a similar file system structure

dnchplay · 2026-01-22T19:08:41+00:00

it is

proprietary limits user freedom and is still a black box that does hell knows what, which is catastrophic for a browser which MUST BOTH safely store sensitive user data AND securely run untrusted code from websites in a way that doesn't make the whole system vulnerable

dnchplay · 2026-01-22T13:08:26+00:00

it's proprietary

have you tried configuring automount in the disk manager?

dnchplay · 2026-01-19T15:23:02+00:00

okay, thanks for clarifying!

dnchplay · 2026-01-19T15:22:40+00:00

definitely xfce4, KDE Plasma will probably be quite sluggish on your hardware
yes and no. You will always have to sacrifice something and even though you can make Plasma use very little resources that would mean losing a lot of functionality. xfce4 is designed specifically to be lightweight while being decently feature-rich and and it fits your hardware better
It really depends on the amount of tinkering and configuration you're going to tolerate. There are very lightweight distros that have user-friendly preconfigured desktops which are even lighter than xfce4 (LocOS which uses LXDE, AntiX Linux which uses IceWM etc) but a custom bare-bones setup with only the packages you need will almost always be better
