Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!

I didn’t even think about those. That might be a good bet!

This seems like the most interesting suggestion so far. I’ll look into those!

I’ve always liked compressing my own music instead of downloading a sketchy aac or mp3 online so I very much appreciate this. Can’t wait until its up and running.

If this is all people cared about they’d be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It’s not there to be flashy and new. It’s there to work and stay working.

I feel like we’ve been here before

Naw, I’m a lowly Debian user. I 100% understand the not wanting to tinker with shit all night though lol.

Now that you’re a linux user proper its time to bully you for using atomic. 😜

Just teasing, welcome to linux!

The first I used for any extended period of time was fedora.

you don’t use youtube?

Over the past few years I went from using Debian Stable, to Debian Testing-Unstable mix (this is a supported way of using Debian look it up), to Debian Unstable/Sid on my main PC.

I think they all can be used for different purposes, and because they all use basically the exact same tools and utilities I don’t have to fiddle with figuring out the specific commands I need to run if I need to tweak a server.

Yeah, i can’t explain why I love xfce so much. It’s very much like a windows 9x style desktop with some QOL improvements (press alt to click drag a window is such a great feature)

I might switch to wayland when xfce starts to have decent support for it. I’m not a ride or die Xorg fan, I just want to keep using the DE I’m used to.
