Sometimes…
GPU passthrough has always been one of those exciting ideas I’d love to dive into one day. My current GPU being a little older, has only 4GB of RAM. Oh the joy’s of being a budget PC user. Thankfully it’s more of a “would be nice rather” than an “actually need”…
While I appreciate the utility of snaps and flatpaks for providing sandboxed, cross-platform apps, I’ve often found them slower than traditional packages. Their tendency to take up more disk space also feels inefficient, especially when system resources are sometimes precious. For these reasons, I generally prefer using apps installed directly through the system’s default package manager, which tend to offer better performance and use space more efficiently…
Aha yea it could very well be that guy…
While I’d personally never install or use this, it good to know its there for the extremely small percentage of people who’ll want or need it…
Sorry, but I have no information on the original source of the image…
Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍
xfce4-terminal has always been my go-to terminal. It may not be the lightest or the best, but it does have some neat built-in features like opening a drop-down window…
For the most part I use ncmpcpp with mpd, but sometimes whenever I just want to listen to a single file I use mpv --no-video instead…
I try to buy all my music directly from the artist in CD form whenever possible. Whenever that’s not possible, I try to get a version that I can save locally & play offline…
Thank you very much for the links…
Ricing is great, but it’s probably not a thing that makes a whole lot of people switch to Linux…
The year was 2002 & I was fed up with windows for various reasons. Connected to the internet looking for a windows alternative & ended up finding slackware. Installed slackware & got it somewhat working. Happily used it for a short while, before moving on to Fedora Core when it was released…
There are some slim battery operated cooling stands listed on Amazon. Not sure how well they’d work, but they are always an option…
The operating system in use shouldn’t be a factor. Consider opening your laptop to perform a thorough cleaning, and also consider replacing the thermal paste as well. If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, taking it to a repair shop is a viable option. Investing in a cooling stand for the laptop would also be beneficial…
Thanks for the tip, will have to look into using it…
My motherboard is a stock dell from around 2012 so I doubt performance would be at all good. Thats even if it worked in the first place…
