Why would anybody think like it’ll die soon?

Lol. I stopped paying when price grew from 4,99 a month.
I’ve watched 4K Youtube on that cpu without issues.
Would it be a good practice to install minimal Debian and learn to use Nix package manager with it?
You’d expect MPV was published by MIT or Bell Labs in late 1970’s because it is so good, can do literally anything while remaining lightweight. But no, it is released in August 2013.
I have 4 icons displaying the current amount of volume with white background and for mute I use red background. It was super easy to set in the config file even I don’t speak C++.
For volume control, I use Wireplumber:
For icon I have configured the swaybar. I don’t use notifications, thus they’re simple to set for bindsym (above) if needed.
Didn’t you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.
Try Neomutt.
Debian base with Sway.
I’m glad my answer satisfied you :)
So any computer or laptop which you have will work just fine. No matter how old it it is.
You can also compile the rom with RasPi but for some unknown reason it caused me unworking rom even it didn’t give aby errors. I contacted the developer and he said I should never compile anything with RasPi :D
I have no clue. I bet Ubuntu just ships with more processes running. Stsrting from booy and continuing during the use.
Nobody will learn the command line without reading the docs.
So, best way to learn Linux for anybody is to buy the book named “Linux Bible 10th Edition” and read that.
Before opening that book, finishing vim-tutor will get anybody started.
My tips comes from 3 librebooted X200s I’ve done (plus 1 fried due to user error by me):
With a good and especially small nossled heatgun you don’t need to cover the motherboard at all. If you melt the plastc top cover of the WSON-8, it doesn’t mind but not necessary either. Just don’t melt the motherboard (small nossle!!!) and you’re all good. Use tweezers rather than pliers, because force is bad and when the super-high quality soldering tin is melted completely, the WSON-8 chip comes off even if you just blow on it.
Flash the 8 mbit SOIC-8 before soldering it onto the motherboard.
I have no lots of soldering skills/experience, but it is fairly easy task if you just have the small nossled heatgun.
And oh yeah, some guides suggests to solder jumpwires onto the stock WSON-8 chip rather than heating it off, but that approach was way too hard for my soldering skills even with the smallest possible tip on my Pinecil soldering iron.
“Regular” Mint = Ubuntu backend (Nvidia support) Mint Debian = More lightweight, but only Cinnamon and bad option for Nvidia gpu
It boots faster and is slightly more responsive as the link suggests. Neofetch has different logo.
It doesn’t have the driver manager so LMDE doesn’t play well with Nvidia gpus.
I recommend that you install Linux on the laptop alone! Linux will work on that hdd, but will be slower. If you can, buy an used ssd for it. 256 GB should be enough for a lot. That 1 TB hdd could serve you as a backup disk.
I also recommend to overhaul your laptop. Remove the dust with compressed air and reolace thermal paste (should be done every 2-3 years anyway).
I don’t know what this ‘gallium’ is. But your computer has a powerful x86 cpu, so any regular distro will work just fine.
Becuse it is your first distro, it should be something well documented (large user base) and stable.
I recommend you to format your biggest usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and it’ll be the last time you’ll ever format.
With Ventoy you can try any distro in Live mode without installing anything in your computer before you’re found your favorite.
Try at least Pop_OS! and LMDE5 (LMDE6 is released within a few weeks) over regular Mint and here’s why: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128
Do you have a gpu in your pcie slot or do you use integrated gpu?
Because you have a desktop, I’d recommend to use 2 separate disks. Because if you manage to break the Linux system (it might happen if you heavily tinker/customize your Linux and manage do some mistake) then you can just re-install the Linux and start again.
If you have 2 storage drivers, then unplug the Windows drive when you (put tape and write Windows onto it) are installing the Linux. Then the computer will manage the partitioning automatically, so less work for you.
Don’t fear the tinkering/customizing. That’s one big joy in Linux, lol. Remember to backup at least your personal files.
Will Threads ever come popular?
I never had account in Twitter, but for me it looks like it’s become a honeypot for right-wing useful idiots. And it has gained a lots of attraction simply because the censorship was ended in just one night.
