Have you considered providing them with a typewriter, ledger and calculator instead?
I use Debian stable on mine. I got 16gb of ram but tbh it’s never gone above six in real use, even with a windows vm running.
E: old thinkpad gang input: take the time to reapply thermal grease to the cpu at some point. It makes a huge difference.
Systemdeez nuts
How to fix shit that doesn’t work:
Use lspci/lsusb and lsmod to show you what devices are attached to the computer and what kernel modules are loaded presently.
Use the modinfo command to show information about kernel modules.
Use ls /lib/modules/kernel_version/drivers to see what modules are available.
Use your distributions package manager to install more optional modules.
How to figure out if something will work:
Use lspci/lsusb, look for those components and their kernel modules, see if they’re available in the distribution you’re investigating.
To give an example: I use an hp stream 11 for some stuff. It’s a little laptop with a relatively obscure Broadcom wireless card. Rhel removes support for old and unpopular hardware pretty frequently and doesn’t support that network card. To get it working on that little pc I ended up building the module from source (available in the el9 third party repositories) and doing Broadcom-wl manually every time the kernel updates. If I didn’t want to keep my wits about me, I’d make a script to run when uhh yum? upgrades the kernel to run a reinstall of the driver.
They’ll loan money to the poor people and once that reaches its conclusion they’ll import more poor people.
lol that someone already said Wayland.
the dark secret of linux is that there are just as many people who dont understand how to solve problems and resort to searching the correct way to shake a dead chicken as with every other platform.
.world really is the Reddit of lemmy smdh my damn head.
Isn’t this just lowest median salary displayed a different way?
Your screenshot is of a lemmygrad users comment with only three upvotes (hexbear doesn’t have downvotes) in the hexbear “chapotraphouse” comm.
And you’re saying that it shows programming.dev should defederate with the whole instance?

That will definitely not backfire.
