lightwieght linux for old processor Anonymous 06/06/2021 (Sun) 04:55:17 No. 4355
Really glad to see this board taking off. I want a linux distro that I can rice for my x41 tablet thinkpad. It's a pentium m, 2 gigs of ram, 1024x768 screen. I've heard some suggestions >void linux >puppy linux >debian I'm a linux noob so I don't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to learn. as far as usage I want to shitpost and maybe doodle some. I've heard some say that my browser is more important than distro as far as snappiness goes. What browser would you suggest that still has 32 bit support.

>>4702 >National-socialism is still socialism, i.e. a bad idea for any nation. Socialism is simply the generalization of friendship. Friendship with certain people is, indeed, a terrible idea because they will abuse your trust. Even with non-malignant people stupidity or complacency can destroy you if you don't remain vigilant. And even among trustworthy, competent people; sometimes two good people just aren't a compatible match. And yet, if you choose carefully and both parties INVEST sincerely, friendship is magic. >>4703 >refusing a service due to the creator's politics is an understandable thing to do Refusing to INVEST in a hostile service is a wise thing to do. Matthew 7:24-27 and all that. But just because you shouldn't build a house upon sand does not mean you should refuse to ever walk across it, or to camp there for a while as a necessary tribulation of a journey.

>>4806 >magic words i know a word with the power to make all black people lose their sanity and become raging barbarians.
>>4702 So it worked. They just put 3 letters on their banners and it effectively made you seethe
>>4702 >>4703 How is refusing to use "lefty-made" open source software for all eternity going to rob you of your rights? You know exactly what they are doing with it (because it's open source) and therefore you can just stop using it or fork it if and when they start obstructing your rights. Also, if you think the political right doesn't obstruct anyone's rights, I'm sorry to say it but you are delusional. For most of history they have been forcing their religion and views on marriage down everyone's throats. It's only recently that the left has taken their place.

>>4577 >I'd have recommended antiX gnu/linux but their website now says "proudly anti-fascist"
>>5531 >found the faggot sorry that the world isn't as black and white as "righty good lefty bad" but it insulting people who say things you don't like doesn't make them wrong. In the real world, ethics is a big sea of grey.
>>4355 So, from the other answers, I guess that it is something that is in both these lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux_distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd >>4766 I`m a novice that is still using one of those super beginner friendly distros (and one that includes systemd) and was attracted by things I heard about void. How much knowledge is needed to actually take advantage of its features? Would it be ok to switch to it now, or maybe go for something easier like MX, Alpine, or the already mentioned artix?
>>5531 >its okay when we do it
>>4577 >I'd have recommended antiX gnu/linux but their website now says "proudly anti-fascist", with no extra explanation, whatever that means. But I used to use it a lot for older hardware because it doesn't use system d as its inint system and it comes out the box with a bunch of programs so noob friendly. I use it too on old hardware. The antifascism is cringe but as long as they do not include any spyware to enforce their ideals - and they do not, for now - i'm fine wit hti. It really is a nice lightweight systemd-free debian-based distro.
It's wrong to use a faggot's software because you're being a willing participant in the expansion of mindshare for that project. Several lurkers here will see your posts and think "Oh, so there's nothing wrong with using that?". There will be more victims for the time when the devs do sneak something in there. The faggots declaring "proudly anti-fascist" are easily roped into anti-meritocracy. You should check their opinions on meritocracy, and maybe push them towards either extreme to become certain of their intents with the project. I wouldn't camp on a minefield. That's why I should get off my ass and remove systemD from RPiOS here. Too bad all tutorials use only that.
>>4355 Bit late to the party OP, I'd suggest Q4os. >requires 300mghz CPU >needs less than half a gig of ram >based on plebian Its a good baby distro if you want to take a tiny step away from Ubuntu and its little flavors
>>4355 Use a lightweight browser like Falkon or Midori. And if possible, replace the hard drive with an SSD.
>>4577 >but their website now says "proudly anti-fascist", with no extra explanation, whatever that means. Anti-fascist means anyone who opposes communism.
>>12733 Oops, I wrote the opposite of what I meant. So, in their minds, communism is glorious and good for all people (despite reality proving it wrong again and again). So anyone who opposes it is an evil fascist.
>>4355 >I'm a linux noob so I don't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to learn Then you could complete this questionnaire: https://distrochooser.de/ >What browser would you suggest that still has 32 bit support. Pale Moon. >>7327 >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux_distribution Another option could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_netbook-oriented_Linux_distributions >>7364 >really is a nice lightweight systemd-free debian-based distro. There is also Devuan (although before installing it, it might be better to wait until Daedalus is released as stable).
>>4355 I've installed and used debian xfce on netbook 2gb ram and goes fine, but firmware for video and audio doesn't work the same as windows manufacture firmware drivers they restrict capacity for linux drivers, now only use windows but with opensource programs
>>12748 >it might be better to wait until Daedalus is released as stable It just did.
>>4577 >I'd have recommended antiX gnu/linux but their website now says "proudly anti-fascist" Beyond their abusive political standing, that distro doesn't support LUKS encryptation and that's a turn-off for me.
Install Windows XP >muh viruses A CPU that slow is useless for 2024 internet anyway. /thread
>>16576 There still are modern browser builds for XP by trusted individuals. They run fine even in 2024/2025. Autistic, I know.
>>4355 a pentium m and 2gb is pretty generous in my opnion, I've used distros like tinycore, slitaz, damn small linux, and before systemd I ran arch on a thinkpad with only 256mb of ram, I think I later upgraded it to 512mb and that had only a p3 cpu it was extremely limited so I basically only used bare TTY to do anything, still was able to do a lot with tmux and a framebuffer driver, even browsing imageboards was doable with the links2 browser and gpm for cursor control damn small linux has updated to a heavier distribution, I think now based on debian, and should be more viable as a daily driver now, unfortunately doesn't fit on a floppy disk any more there is a release of puppy linux based on void and I've been trying it out for a while, it's pretty decent as a complete desktop experience, it was a bit confounding to figure out the package management though, the default browser does not work on a bunch of websites, palemoon is distributed as a sfs package and is more usable but requires you to copy the sfs to the same directory as puppy linux itself so that it's loaded at boot, otherwise you have to manually load the extra sfs every session

>>16566 >that distro doesn't support LUKS encryptation The last release just added LUKS support. Also it looks very neat and light. That said, be aware that that distro is a hub for self confessed sexual deviants of the worst kind.
>>16715 How is it functionally different from Devuan?

>>12733 >Anti-fascist means anyone who opposes communism Not my intention to derail the thread but that is the (. ( .( .main street narrative .) .) .) to gaslight the normies. Pay close attention, anyone who opposes globalism, jewish power, or its oligarchs, is labeled a "fascist" No wonder that Antifa, that actually is a jewish militia, never is raided or even bothered by the security forces in the West.
>>16719 You speak the truth, I just hope we don't go full opposite because they'd be happy with that too, any authoritarian point of view gives those at the top power, jews desire to be at the top and so will do anything to push those viewpoints, be it communism, national socialism, whatever They seem to dislike monarchy tbf
>>16721 Better than making them have a co-opted autocracy, is making them have structurally no room for one at all that might later be used to oppose their agenda. It's why Charles III'rd is somewhat dislikeable on the right but is fundamentally loathed on the left. The country and possibly the world counts on grandson George to not get co-opted the way his paternal betters have done.
>>4644 >It means they want non-lefty people to stop using their software, and judging by your reaction to it, they've succeeded. Gay men want non-faggots to stop going to their orgies. If you don't go, they win or something
>>16700 >There still are modern browser builds for XP by trusted individuals. They run fine even in 2024/2025. Autistic, I know. Right but thats not the point. MyPal, Thorium, et al run great on Windows XP. Websites in 2024+ run like shit on a Pentium M.
>>16772 >Pentium M It is fine if you run a vintage machine, to a certain extend I also do; but, you may consider going off line with it and switching to something more at the tune of 2025 when browsing the internet is the task. Unless you live in Haiti, Somalia, or Sudan, of course.
>>16776 Tell OP, not me. I keep saying that a Pentium M machine is only good for installing XP and being an offline nostalgia box. It's basically something LGR would cover. Run Duke3D, play canyon.mid, fuck around in MS Paint, etc. If you want to shitpost, get a modern computer or even god forbid a smartphone. Don't be a retarded autist like >>16714 pic related
>>16781 well fuck you too buddy
