I apologize if this has been asked a ton, still migrating to lemmy. Still stuck on crappy reddit out of habbit, but i’ve found the lemmy universe to be much more helpful....
I think it’s more because of the margin, say manuf a car for 30k and sell it 32k, compared to manuf a truck for 40k and sell it 60k+…
I live in a suburbia and there is a couple of lifted F250 trucks that are only used to go to Costco, which haven’t tow anything (no hitch anyway), and never saw a grain of dust anyway.
I know Debian and others can breathe life into older machines. But i wonder if there are any distros with serious optimizations that I haven’t heard of. I’ve already tried MX Linux on an old Thinkpad SL400, and didn’t see any difference from plain Debian....
just need something to do light development (docker, python, rust, with an ide). something i can upgrade (ram, ssd minimum). laptop would best, but desktop works too...
Yes, both are well known and (even if sometimes some people says they have lemons, for both bands) pretty solid, mine is 14 months old and runs 8h/day as my work PC
Using un*x since the 90s, this is all I know. I like awk but it can go fucking complicated, I once maintain a 5000 lines script that was parsing csv to generate JavaScript…
I still have my HP Mini311, it has a 11.6" screen, 1366x768, discrete GPU, can decode 1080p in hardware and output on tv via HDMI. In 2009 it was a beast!
I changed the 2.4bg with a 2.4/5n wifi, upgraded to 3GB of ddr3 ram, SSD, overclocked to 2GHz, and installed MX Linux on it, works perfect.
I’m not smart enough to verify the accuracy of this claim, nor exactly what the implications are, but it seems like it might improve performance if fixed.
Title bullshit, we have multicore machine for years, I can guarantee you this had about no impact else people running Xeon or Threadripper would have saw it at first try 15 years ago.
This looks like to have an impact on the scheduler but not on how many cores are used.
I'm ditching htop for btop, look how cool it is (lemmy.ml)
How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping?

Best lesser-known distribution/DE for low-end machines?
