Use Dietpi as your main distro, do a minimal install, install sway and then your usual stuff.

t. Got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram, did exactly as my suggestion implies and everything works as intended.

This is why I don’t care about privacy anymore and use whatever browser works better in my pc/sbc (brave) followed by a network ad-blocker solution (nextdns).

GustavoM , 19 days ago to retrogaming in Here's why modern gaming suuuuucks.

tl;dr: “Growing up sucks because it makes everything look the same old.”

I mean… yeah. That is why you have to stop wishing for “the same old” over and over again and embrace the new. And yes, I (also) think DRM has no other purpose than to hinder performance.

t. am (also) a 80’s “kid”.

Even a potato can run linux if you try hard(er) enough.

GustavoM , 23 days ago to linux in Why do you still hate Windows?

I’m typing this from my orange pi zero 3 w/ dietpi installed… aaaaaaand I don’t really “hate”, but more like “not care about it anymore”. Sure, its privacy concerns are truly a nightmare, but eh. It’s good to have options, that’s all. Even if one said “options” can be more harmful than good.

GustavoM , 27 days ago to linux in Having a bunch of beers rn & trying out Debian for the first time. Will I have regrets? 🤔 happy Saturday to all, drink something delicious today 🍻

It may feel tasty and great today… but it (definitely) won’t feel great as much in the future. Have some respect on yourself and drink something healthy instead – there are better ways to have fun than that.

That aside, Debian can be very user friendly just like any other distro – I say go for it.

Nah, that’s a preconfigured distro.

GustavoM , 1 month ago to linux in Anti Malware with Linux

Not really a “anti malware” per se, but you can always set up a separate linux device (like a orange pi zero 3) and set it up as a network ad blocker with nextdns (which apparently it can be (also) a “anti malware” – which I haven’t tested if it is legit or not, but eh.).

For me, arm has already “won” this debacle – convenience > performance all day errday.

GustavoM , 1 month ago to linux_gaming in Sorry I can't do it.

To use (and enjoy) Linux properly, you’ve got to “unlearn” several things including the bad habit of expect everything to “just werk”. If you are expecting to “double click your cares away” on Linux, then it’s (very) likely you’ll be disappointed.

With that aside, your best bet is to go for Linux Mint and not Arch Linux.

GustavoM , 1 month ago to linux in how to move to a new computer?

tl;dr:

<span style="color:#323232;">dnf list installed > $anydir/meow
</span>

On new computer, with fedora installed and the meow file;

<span style="color:#323232;">dnf install $(cat $anydir/meow)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

Ah, yes… the perfect example of “Everything I don’t like is Hitler” and “If you type 666 you’ll become Satan!”.

GustavoM , 1 month ago to aboringdystopia in Video games play YOU (not the other way around)

If the game offers me a possibility of doing (something) for a (reward) – I will do it if it is fun and engaging, not because of the reward alone. Which (somewhat) makes “the game play me”, but hey… this can (also) be applied at every other situation in real life as well.

Aw, dangit.
