It's the same with leftists in my experience. The fighting is worst online

Had this issue for ages. Ditched Nvidia a month ago and now everything just works.

I have been repurposing my EOL Chromebook, and I don't think they will ever be able to compete with ThinkPads. I like my Chromebook since it is so damn small, however the specs are really bad. And everything is soldered right on the motherboard. So I have 64GB storage (plus an SD-card) and 4GB RAM. I have enabled ZRAM so the CPU is helping out a bit. But even so I struggle with the memory. Browsers are such memory hogs!

Yeah, I noticed. I miss not having a declarative system, but agree on Nix. I don't have the time to learn all that. I think it seemed neat to use yaml, since it is pretty straight forward

That sounds like BlendOS. I haven't tried either of them, but sounds really cool!

Great! But I'd much rather they kept focusing on fixing the game

[–] jrgn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not a bad idea! Not sure how well it is supported though

[–] jrgn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's very interesting! I just find it weird that I've never heard of it. I will have it in the back of my head in case I need to do a full 360 and go back to ChromeOS

[–] jrgn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good to know! Have you tried any other distros?

[–] jrgn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I thought so too, but then my Chrome stopped updating and all my extensions started breaking one by one. Never heard of ChromeOS Flex, will check out!

Thanks! I have figured all that out. I went with Tumbleweed for now, because I had it lying around on a USB stick and wanted to see if it worked. Looks like it works pretty much out of box. I found a ZRAM guide too. Might distro jump over to Fedora though

I have an Acer Chromebook R11 which has reached End of Life and won't receive updates (which is insane, I bought it new four years ago). I have checked, and my model is now fully supported by most Linux distros.

I need suggestions for a lightweight distro to use. I will use the machine for surfing, playing Pixel Dungeon, streaming some indie games over Moonlight/Steam Headless and manage my home server over ssh. So nothing major. I want something lightweight and really low maintenance.

Specs:

  • Processor: 1.6GHz quad-core Intel Celeron N3150 (quad-core, 3MB cache, up to 2.08GHz with Turbo Boost)

  • Graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics

  • Memory: 4GB DDR3L

  • Storage: 32GB (with SD card reader for more storage)

I have a lot of experience with Arch-based (EndeavourOS, Manjaro), Ubuntu-based (Mint, PopOS) and Debian-based (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian) distros, but I am open for other suggestions
