It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!

I didn’t even think about those. That might be a good bet!

This seems like the most interesting suggestion so far. I’ll look into those!

Thank you. I remember back in the day hearing they didn’t keep logs and figured “well alright sounds good!” and that was the end of it.

I’ll give Proton a try when my current plan of Nordvpn ends. Didn’t know Proton was open source either, so that’s pretty cool! Wish I didn’t get downvoted to hell for asking a question, but it is what it is.

What is so bad about nordvpn? What makes protonvpn better?

Been a nordvpn user for around 4 years now. If I need to switch I’ll do it, this is just the first time I’ve heard it isn’t all that great.

I’ve always liked compressing my own music instead of downloading a sketchy aac or mp3 online so I very much appreciate this. Can’t wait until its up and running.

If this is all people cared about they’d be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It’s not there to be flashy and new. It’s there to work and stay working.

As someone who has used cryptpad, it works. It sucks major cheeks, but it gets the job done.

i don’t think I use any kde apps on my system at all

CGI Budget: Infinite

Casting Budget: Infinite

Writing Budget: $3.50

If flatpak didn’t make me put the entirety of KDE onto my system (thats an exaggeration but you know what I mean) I’d gladly crown it king of the package managers.

As an XFCE user, I dislike the reputation that xfce is only useful for low end old hardware. It’s a fully complete desktop just like cinnamon, kde, or gnome. lxqt however, I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Naw, I’m a lowly Debian user. I 100% understand the not wanting to tinker with shit all night though lol.
