Don’t. It’s a trap. Most of them have compatibility issues with software. Stock Ubuntu is the benchmark for every piece of software these days. Deviating is fun until it isn’t.

Unless you want to go a non Debian based distro, always pick Ubuntu.

Depends on what you do, most of the deep-learning world and scientific computing is based on Ubuntu. And not just Ubuntu but currently 22.04. Even upgrading the distro can bring compatibility conflicts.

I have a massive hate boner for development on Windows for things such as the \ in the paths and needing to install a 10gig IDE to do cpp development. Or they tell you WSL “just works” while it doesn’t “just work” because it can’t cv2.imshow your images because there’s no X11 passthrough etc.

People here are under the illusion that a DE changes nothing about the base OS. It seems like those people have never actually been using their OS.

New Linux Users don’t even know the difference.

Because advice like this is an enormous waste of time. Calling people dinosaurs for using Ubuntu instead of KDE is a pretty out there take. The only more modern option is arch based distros like Manjaro but since every programming tutorial assumes you have APT and are running Ubuntu I don’t see much of a reason to deviate from that.

Nice comeback when you get evidence of how a different DE breaks software compatibility.

It’s clear that this is a forum of people that only install Linux to open their terminal and type neofetch.

Linkerbaan,

No it installs and uninstalls a ton of packages and often relies on specific versions of certain packages. This is like saying Ubuntu isn’t different from Debian.

Some DE’s even use Wayland which will break a ton of software such as OpenCV.

You do you. Just stop wasting other people’s time with this worthless false hope. What I’m saying here is what I would have liked people to tell me before I wasted my time troubleshooting issues caused by custom Desktop Environments. What’s next you’re going to tell me Wayland already runs without issues too?

The stock Ubuntu environment looks pretty decent to begin with.

Tried switching to KDE Plasma and then OpenCV broke because of outdated QT version or some shit. Same with another distro. And I couldn’t install two versions at the same time.

It’s all fun until you get dependency conflicts.

After Biden committing GENOCIDE you’re the only one pretending if you think you aren’t hitting yourself in the face just as hard as Republicans.

Linkerbaan,

Good thing the DNC is picking a totally reasonable and non controversial candidate for the Democrats. Definitely not a straight up genocide supporter.

Linkerbaan,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

What a hyperbole. This two party thing has only been going on for 150 years. If Biden wins next time everything is going to be fixed trust.

Last time I checked Biden bypassed congress to sell weapons to israel, not for Ukraine.

Linkerbaan,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

You’re all sticking your head in the sand pretending that only Trump would do genocide while Biden is actively committing genocide. It’s real time Holocaust denial here.

Linkerbaan, (edited )
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. we are the point that both parties are Nazis’s.

Following this course of sliding right into Nazism we’ll have Adolf Hitler running for the Republicans and a Trump figure running for the Democrats. And then you’re all going to vote for the Trump guy because he’s not the Hitler guy.

The Pi 5 isn’t very power efficient. X86 CPU’s from a few years ago were already on a more efficient process node

Linkerbaan,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

New X86 processors are as efficient as the Apple M series. They are far more power efficient than a Pi under load, though they will consume slightly more at idle. But not nearly as much as you’re suggesting.

Linkerbaan, (edited )
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on what it’s doing. The Pi5 has lower idle power usage but if it’s under constant load it’s actually very inefficient. Keep in mind that the Pi5 has a 25W max TDP, almost as high as the N100.

The reason that the N100 is seems less efficient in Jeff’s video is because it’s clocked a lot higher. And power usage increases exponentially with higher clockspeeds

The Pi5 is made on the 28nm node, which is from around 2011. Of course it has other efficiency improvements like the GPU and the ARM architecture, but pound for pound I don’t think the Pi5 even beats a 6 year old desktop in efficiency if the desktop was properly downclocked and not running some inefficient HDD’s or the likes.

Rockchip boards on the other hand are made on 22nm, which is why they tend to be a bit more efficient.

When the economy was tough he really helped those who were most in need. It all trickled down from there.

It’s learned masochism to use the terminal for everything at this point.
