Wow, I’ve never seen something like this.

Is it" allowed"? I mean, there are quotas for user homes.

neonred,

Like I said it’s a cheap solution for a single user system. Ofc tmpfs would be better but has to be done for every user again

neonred,

It’s 2 TB, not 2 TiB. One is to the base of 10, the other to the base of 2.

neonred,

A 14 TB medium is always 14 TB, which is close to 12 TiB. Minus metadata of the filesystem and granularity of a allocation sector.

Start with Debian stable (rock solid, well integrated packaging).

When you feel comfortable and have achieved some experience, switch to Debian sid (rolling release, updates very often, be a bit cautious).

neonred,

Been using my Bialetti Moka Express… for 10+ years… I use Debian btw…

Ubuntu is a product of Canonical which are a pretty evil corporation and a submarine of Microsoft. What they don’t leech off Debian is proprietay and lock-in.

neonred,

Debian sid is just as fresh and a (nearly) rolling release distribution. I game on it with Wine, Cyperpunk, X4, Baldur’s Gate and others are no problem.

neonred,

and NixOS would be?

I am not sure I understand. Are you having problems running cage?

neonred, (edited )

For those who don’t understand: cage is a kiosk wayland window manager, which means it only runs one program in the foreground and in fullscreen.

foot is a graphical terminal emulator.

So the joke here is to run a terminal emulator in fullscreen and kiosk mode on a wayland wm from tty, which, at first sight, looks exactly the same as just tty. So you use wayland for a lookalike tty session, which is a nod at OP’s image which states you wouldn’t run a tty on x or wayland.

(But cage+foot has mouse support, nice fonts, can launch graphical programs, etc., and has itself established as a kind of rescue shell for tty-less kernel distributions)

neonred,

$ cage foot

neonred,

Fun fact: in German, peanuts are called “Erdnuss”, which literally translates to “soil nut”, which seems actually fit like a glove. To be honest, I never thought about the name it has. Learn something new every day.

neonred,

Don’t forget loadhigh (lh) and his friend DEVICEHIGH and check with mem the memory layout if anything more can be sqeezed into some unused block lying around…

neonred,

Just found out this agrees with my opinion on all the distributions:

In case you want to do the usual distro hop in the future, just because there are so many jummy flavours

neonred,

Still based on Ubuntu and conceived by Canonical, but give it a spin, that’s part of the fun to try things out, break them, try the next toy :)

neonred,

Redox

neonred, (edited )

Only half a joke as I do have an eye on what happens with NixOS, Redox, Guix and other, more experimental, stuff. Gonna look up on Ion, thanks

neonred,

I would have chosen Debian with KDE Plasma (or with Cinnamon if you prefer that) but… close enough :)

Welcome to the herd!

neonred,

Debian. So that would be Noteviluntu.
