Since you are not telling me the issue I cant give you what might have went wrong. You might have learned from that.

One advice, nobody will like linux who painstakingly has to play catchup on the terminal on a pre-baked OS.

All the distros I ever cycled through, I always had issues with pre-baked systems. There are always these little things you expect that does not end up happening even if you sweat blood. Then you start looking and you find out that nobody ever had this and there is no documentation whatsoever.

The only antidote aganist that if you are in control and if it is documented. I only ever liked linux in the advanced form.

NTFS?! Yuck.

But like what was the issue?

What ended up being the issue?

How is NixOS going? I am also an Arch convert, but the issue with Gentoo is that it feels like a clusterfuck after days spent on configuration that is not easy to replicate. I mean it works but I might not want to go through it next time.

Weeelll not for long. Open kernel module works like a charm for me. Wayland support is now actively worked on and is already functional for the most part. HDMI 2.1 was always supported while AMD would not be able to. HDR and 10 bit support also dropped just now.

Matter of configuration.

Both. Period.

What? We are talking about discord documented software.

Imagine “stealing” a project just because you can write sensible documentation.

No, there was MSN in the 70s but communication was made through a machine called Microtron. They are largely lost to the world due to being made from degradable PCB plates.

Good thing Linus is Swedish. If you knew history and read the wiki, you would know about swedish rule of Finland and that a numerable swedish minority stayed in Finland over the centuries.

Since his father is in the “Swedish Peoples Party”, I will assume Finns casually use Swedish as a denomination for people who live in Finland but speak Swedish. I think he also talked about speaking Swedish at his home with his family.

Wow, lemmy goes to new lows every day. I cant understand why I have to feed this to you…

??

Apologies, Im sure his father entered the Swedish People’s party by accident.

Swedish*

No

Also dont forget about intel x86 phones from that era. It was a versatile era of chips. There were the Texas Instrument ones as well.

Not sure how much more it would cost to run. If you only really talk about stuff a pi can do as well, you wont be maxing out your cores. You will use a bit more maybe. Nothing sort of whatever you only really keep in mind for monero mining.

Those zero 3W sticks have been unavailable ever since I saw it here.

My brother in christ. A used PC has powersupply, case, storage and cooling. This is about the basic kit you need for a proper pi5 experience. You can very easily hit the 100 dollar mark.

Also, most of the used business PC will have 8G RAM, which would put your little ARM funsies up to the $130 budget range.

And you would still only have 4 shitty cores, no expandability.

The meme actually means what it states. That people have money to buy Windows. Most people earn enough to buy their own OS.

It is kind of a blindspot, you cant imagine a meme actually stating people having enough money on hand. And they do, most of them earn a living.

Yeah, the sentence could have been worded better.
