Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I have a soft spot for black holes. What can I say....

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Do we have a Philosophy Memes community somewhere?

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Alright reading the comments here in enough. No way I'm watching this one

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

That's a good point, I could jus try debian and remove the unnecessary stuff. I want my daughter to use this laptop so it needs some video codecs and hopefully some educational games.

Some commenters said you need a minimum of 2GB memory to run Debian. What do you make of that?

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

AntiX! Of course. I thought Antix had merged with Mepis to create MX. Didn't know they were still around. probably the best choice since it still seems to be based on Debian Stable

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Good point. Thanks

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks but the laptop is for my 3-yeard old daughter. I hope she becomes a linux user but she's not there yet (to use FreeDOS) :)

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks, that list was very helpful in confirming some of the ideas I already had.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Interesting. I search for Alpine Linux and the first search result was a Lemmy community. Looks interesting. Thanks!

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Yeah it's going to be a debian-based at least, that's for sure

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Yeah I'm going with AntiX. Used it a long time ago and assumed it had merged with Mepis to do MX, but thanks to this thread I find out it's still available

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I've been using MX since it was Mepis. I love seeing it said well recommended in this thread. For the old laptop I'll go with AntiX

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check those out

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

LOL

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Why would she hate Linux?

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks! I'll check it out

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks! I'll check it out

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Hmmm yeah I hadn't thought about upgrading the laptop, that's a big idea, and indeed it should be super cheap

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Because it does give me a functional piece of software to grab YouTube videos without actually opening YouTube, but it cannot really run Firefox with uBlock, which basically means web browsing is impossible

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I've been hearing good things about opensuse while researching my alternatives

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks! Great advice 👍

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Oh shit, what newest release did you upgrade to? I think I have MX21 in my Acer one

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

This laptop wouldn't even run on windows so I'm not sure what you're suggesting

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks, that's actually a very clear tutorial. Definitely saving it

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Ah, good to know. I wonder how is it possible then for Debain-based distros (MX) to run well on this notebook

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

The leader of the labour/green did a very bad campaign. I voted for him out of conviction, but I can totally see undecided voters not being convinced by his campaign. The loss of the VVD can be explained partly by the punishment that ruling parties get in elections in these times. I'm just hoping the leader of the NSC doesn't agree to be in a coalition with PVV. Best thing we can hope for now is a center-right coalition with the Labour/Greens, the VVD (neo-liberals) and NSC (center-right) :(

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

To add to this, even during the campaign the leader of the VVD (neo-liberal party) didn't exclude the possibility of working with Wilders like the former PM of the VVD always did. I think this helped Wilders a lot.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Yes, the Netherlands is really two different countries when you separate the big cities from the countryside.

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I agree. The VVD is too power-hungry not to form a coalition with the PVV

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Ah right, I forgot about D66. But they will surely want in. Alternatively, either the CDA or the CU, or both, could also enter the coalition

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I'm just posting for the future generations

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Unlocked API. Great news. I've been waiting for this. Finally we'll be able to browse through apps. Thanks for all the work @ernest

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

One thing you can learn from the Chilean resistance is to get the job done and then gtfo as soon as you can. They fired a missile to the dictator but they were too close to the car and the missile bounced on the windshield instead of exploding. The military then took revenge and killed a lot of resistance fighters and even journalists associated with them

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks, that worked, although I cannot see any of the posts in the original community :(

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks, that's valuable information to know

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I'm a bit lost in the jargon. What is backfill and what is the outbox?

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks, I will

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Thanks for the tip, that's a good workaround

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Emo is just city country

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

Came here to support plenny shakes as well. And their bars are amazing too

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

I'd love to see Socrates as modern day politician
