Just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean they are a western marxist. (unless we are talking about where they live, but that would be silly)

Russia's imperialist, Ukraine is full of nazis, and the US started it. Stop the war.

Free Palestine.

  • Linux distro for noob

    Jump

  • Anyone suggesting a rolling release distro to you is setting you up for failure, especially on a 2014 laptop that will absolutely not benefit from it.

    Use Linux Mint. It's still Linux, you can still break it customize it as much as you want.

    edit: Y'all are absolutely insane to downvote this when we are talking about a NEW linux user using a 11 year old laptop.

  • Liberals HATE this ONE trick

  • Its actually kinda about both.

  • The first part of the question, yes.

    The second part of the question, no.

  • Americans be like

    Jump

  • Let's be honest, the average american isn't saying rich people. They are saying "them" or "the deep state" or some other dogwhistle relating to jews. Or they'll just find a term that abstracts the problem away from rich people.

  • The state of Linux phones in 2025

    Jump

  • Maybe not true for phones, but the linux desktop IS usable day to day, and I'd say this has been true for atleast the last 5 years. KDE and GNOME are both fully fledged desktops, and with the popularity of snaps and flatpaks there isn't really alot getting in the way of software installation either. Even wine/proton has come so far I don't see the "linux bad for gaming" as an actual excuse anymore.

    I started using linux exclusively on desktop in 2021 and I'm not any kind of programmer or anything, just a regular user. :)

  • Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way

    Jump

  • This is gonna be a lot of work, like, a lot a lot of work.

    You're on the right track, I think antix is your best starting point. Its the closest you'll get to a fully featured distro. Damn Small Linux would maybe be my next choice, but I'm not sure if development is ongoing.

    Regardless, you want something without systemd. Im personally hopeless without it, but there are plenty of people who daily drive openrc, runit, etc so it's possible with determination.

    id probably do 3gb of swap, maybe more if you are crashing a lot. I suspect even if you keep memory usage down you will be swapping A LOT. If you had even 1gb more memory I'd be less worried, but you're cutting it close.

    If that's still not light enough, you could try using CDE or Motif as a desktop.

  • Amerikkka land of the jailed (But China is defo AuThOrITarIAn!!)

    Jump

  • We have a few Chinese folks in the revolupedia discord so they definitely exist. We're pretty aggressively against modern China.

    From what I've seen on Chinese social media, you have two kinda minds. The folks who want a return to maoism, and the folks that are more liberal minded. That's extremely reductive but that seems to be a sentiment repeated frequently by Chinese people so it's likely got some truth to it.

    I don't uphold China, but I do think ~95% of what people have said in defense of China on this post is true. There's lot of propaganda that paints China as monstrously worse than it is.

  • frfrfr pinky promise!

    Jump

  • Oh, the US for sure is involved. I don't remember the exact year but they literally backed a leader that was pro US like 12 years ago. That directly affected trade with Russia.

    And this area of land we are talking about is pretty much Ukraines economy. The majority of manufacturing happens there. Convenient that Russia has loyalists there.

    But let's not get into the weeds, my position is still what it is and it's been in my bio for a while now:

    Russias imperialist, Ukraine is full of Nazis, and the US started it. Stop the war.

  • frfrfr pinky promise!

    Jump

  • Ukraine is the victim in the US and Russias imperialist dick measuring contest.

    Neither the US nor Russia is telling the full story.

  • Average lib take when communism is involved

    Jump

  • If it makes you feel better, there are Marxist-Leninist parties with anti Russia stances, just most MLs on this site are not members of those parties.

  • Democrats vote down resolution calling for arms embargo on Israel, recognizing Palestinian state

    Jump

  • I didn't even come up with that one.

  • Democrats vote down resolution calling for arms embargo on Israel, recognizing Palestinian state

    Jump

  • You're welcome! 😘

    Don't blame the left when your 2028 blue maga fascist loses to the red maga fascist.

  • Democrats vote down resolution calling for arms embargo on Israel, recognizing Palestinian state

    Jump

  • I complained when biden was in office too, because he sucked ass.

    I was part of the very vocal group that wanted him replaced on the off chance the democrats ran someone with any sort of platform better than "atleast we aren't trump" but then they ran "stronger borders than trump" harris and I said fuck that too.

    it'd be nice if your party ran someone that isn't actively trying to make things worse but at a slower pace.

  • Hate Systemd? A New Init System(Nitro) Debuts as a Minimalist Process Supervisor for Linux

    Jump

  • On a modern system built around modern philosophies, its convenient. Doing stuff on systemd seems very intuitive to me and feels like a bit less work than the alternatives (atleast from my non-developer POV). If systemd hadn't become the standard maybe my opinion would be different, but most of the time it "just works".

    On an older system, the alternatives are definitely lighter! If you're in the group of people who believes every megabyte counts, you care about systemd. There are also oldschool tech nerds who believe systemd is insecure (they might be right idk anything).

  • nvidia 470 on debian trixie (kernel 6.12). any ideas?

    Jump

  • Yeah this really pissed me off. People acting like this is a just a trivial purchase. Even $30 is alot for me sometimes and I live in the US, I can't imagine how hard that must be to someone in Brazil.
