There isn't one really. But you could pull up the ratings on google in a browser instead of having gmaps installed, which is better at least.

I'm not sure really.

I like the idea of alternatives like a Linux phone OS or a custom ROM like Graphene, but I also hate the idea of needing to faff around with my phone to make it work how I want it to.

I've also found resolve to really struggle handling files that other editors can deal with just fine, not sure why.

It seems reasonably good, I don't think it does anything special over what the latest linux kernel already does, and that has improved over time.

Not quite as good as windows is, but pretty close in my experience.

Well definitely faster than 1 Opteron at least: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/1569vs2910/AMD-Opteron-6272-vs-Intel-i5-7500

Single thread is massively better, but if that's useful or not depends on the kinds of applications you're running.

The downside is price, they're quite expensive after buying the Pi, storage, power supply, and maybe a case.

I wonder how the co2 from drying/making bricks compares

Newer CPUs can also just be better optimized and have more faster cache and that sort of thing, so might be faster at running a process even if they're the same on paper.

It's likely switching which search engines it's using in the background, since searxng is a proxy to multiple existing search engines.

You can specify which search engines to use in your user settings, so you could restrict it to only one.

That said they could just be broken too, none of the searxng instances I just tried return valid search results, just random broken results.

I'd say start with Bazzite and see how it is, it generally just works well out of the box and needs minimal effort.

Those old server CPUs and motherboards just draw a ton of power, I'm not sure there's much more you can do.

It might be best to change hardware if you need lower power draw, a $50 PC off ebay with an i5-7500 should be faster and a only uses about 15W idle.

That N200 is likely on par or faster than dual Opteron 6272 CPUs, since they are so old.
