There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term

I still think Ubuntu is the best option (particularly if you want to use the non-LTS releases)

Having said that I do hate snaps and also dislike flatpaks. So what I do is just use the Firefox deb package from the PPA and the chromium package from Linux Mint. Oh, and I have actually replaced ubuntu-advantage-tools with a no-op dummy package.

And mainline Linux and a Linux Desktop is still struggling today with power management. Like getting chat messages while it’s asleep.

And the really sad thing is that the power management improvements devs have been working on for the PinePhone are really very specific to that particular device and don’t help mobile Linux in general (so it’s basically wasted effort).

Jed when you want a simple, Emacs-like editor.

At least for memory usage the hypervisor wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between memory merely used as cache vs. memory actually used by the software running on the machine (and OSes will usually just use any otherwise unused memory as cache, so you will likely see some inflated memory usage)

How do they actually get that information (particularly memory utilization)? Do they rely on their agent that’s pre-installed (but can be uninstalled)? At least in their web interface it doesn’t show any of that utilization for my instances (one is Ubuntu with their agent uninstalled and the other one is NetBSD).

There is also Roundup Issue Tracker

I am actually using a OrangePiPC as:

• WLAN access point (hostapd)
• LTE Internet via a E3372 USB dongle
• radio via DVB-T dongle/Internet
• USB speakers for the radio
• Bluetooth dongle to connect to Bluetooth-enabled speaker in another room
• USB temperature sensor, motion sensors via GPIO
• VoIP telephone with connected USB headset
• small LCD display to show the current temperature and incoming call information

Been using phpwiki for the past 20 years or so.

The description says:

In this video, we’ll do a deep dive on what C++ Polymorphism is, what “virtual” does under the hood, and ultimately why it is SUCH a performance hit compared to languages like C and Rust.

This is not about compile-time polymorphism.

“they put ads in the terminal” isn’t really accurate.

Their “ubuntu-advantage-tools” adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing “ubuntu-advantage-tools”. It’s definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.

Sure, but what about your chromium builds? (as mentioned in my post, replacing the firefox snap with a firefox deb is easy enough on Ubuntu, chromium is the more difficult one to deal with)

How is only having an LTS version vs. having a choice between using an LTS version or a non-LTS version not a downside?

but it’s limited to Ubuntu LTS versions

Mint would be based on Ubuntu 22.04, but I’d like to have something more up-to-date. I believe all other .deb based distros have the same issue that they are not as up-to-date as Ubuntu 23.04?

I am using a single package from Mint, the rest is Ubuntu 23.04. Mint would otherwise be based on Ubuntu 22.04?

XFS is 29 years old and certainly still in use as well.

In my case my main bank works exactly the same through the app than the browser mobile version

Main issue is that the two-factor authenticator app is usually only available for Android/iOS (some are still supporting SMS, but they are trying to phase that out)

WhatsApp

Their web app now actually works almost stand-alone. And as projects like yowsup have shown, it’s also possible to create your own stand-alone WhatsApp client (it’s only a matter of doing the work).
