Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
3. Fully allowed to share that information

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!

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.

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

Now that you’re a linux user proper its time to bully you for using atomic. 😜

Just teasing, welcome to linux!

Over the past few years I went from using Debian Stable, to Debian Testing-Unstable mix (this is a supported way of using Debian look it up), to Debian Unstable/Sid on my main PC.

I think they all can be used for different purposes, and because they all use basically the exact same tools and utilities I don’t have to fiddle with figuring out the specific commands I need to run if I need to tweak a server.

Yeah, i can’t explain why I love xfce so much. It’s very much like a windows 9x style desktop with some QOL improvements (press alt to click drag a window is such a great feature)

I might switch to wayland when xfce starts to have decent support for it. I’m not a ride or die Xorg fan, I just want to keep using the DE I’m used to.
