Immutable Linux for low end PCs?

Reply in thread

Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere...etc.

Depending on what you're doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you're talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable Linux for low end PCs?

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You're probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you'd expect running at under 4G. Safely.

That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It's not that it's insurmountable or anything, but I'm answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It's just a known fact.

Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger

All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained

This video kind of misses the mark on delivering the points of the title, but these are the simplest boiled down points of the community gripes:

  • ASUS is having quality control issues, or deliberately skimping to pad profits
  • They are rebranding lesser quality components with the higher quality ROG brand, and pricing it as such
  • They are unilaterally voiding warranties when users try to RMA or return said hardware

Gigabyte (remember them?) did this same slow slide of enshittification about 10 years ago. The issue pretty much boils down to a company producing too many different types of things, instead of staying good at the things they do well, and the community has noticed and is calling for boycotts. This will no doubt put them on the defensive for years to come, and affect their overall standing in the larger community until they correct course.

Republicans Try to Blame Democrats, the Media, CRT for Shooting

Let's run down the list of the shooter's known traits and see how this fits the GOP agenda:

  • White
  • Male
  • Suburban
  • Privileged upbringing
  • Gun enthusiast
  • Registered Republican

YUP! Sure sounds like a CRT-lovin' Democrat operative to me! Can't wait to hear how these fascist psychos try to spin the web of Deep State bullshit into this one.

NEWSFLASH: There's only one side of this political climate that has been advocating violence from Day 1, dipshits, and it sure as fuck isn't coming from the Democrats.
