Honestly, it would’ve been better for me if OP shared the text instead of a (slightly blurry) screenshot.

No reason to hate acronyms; they make communication much more efficient!
They are annoying when you’re not in the clique that knows about them, I’ve found they can be hard to look up.

we dont have the K, just the regular
Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Little side note
those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task
The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.
You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.
That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?
Unless someone ticked the “encrypt storage”-box in the installer, you don’t even have to pay for Pro to use it!
- The Ramen Dutchman@ttrpg.networktoLinux@lemmy.ml•What was your first Linux distribution?1·1 month ago
Real!
After installing and restoring Arch for the third time in 1.5 year I decided to go back to Mint. In the past 5.5 or so years, nothing needed to be reinstalled or restored; Mint’s more stable than Windows by now!
- The Ramen Dutchman@ttrpg.networktoLinux@lemmy.ml•What was your first Linux distribution?2·1 month ago
My first was Ubuntu in a VM because everyone recommended it, I distro hopped in VMs until I just ended up using Mint in a VM almost exclusively. It was when I complained to someone about the issues with the VM when locking the laptop and they asked me “Why not just run that system as-is?” that I installed it for real.
I’ve also used Manjaro for half a year, a very minimal Arch+i3 install (without the install script because I wanted the “real experience”) for about 1.5 year, and dual booted Bazzite and Mint on my gaming PC for a year (it’s just Mint now), all the while trying out other distros big and small on older hardware or in VMs.
I don’t feel I’ve found “the one”, but somehow I keep coming back to Mint… Although, perhaps NixOS is it… Who knows?

Just adding that Tekken 7 and 8 run better under Linux with Proton than under Windows, and that modding is just as easy!
Shogun 2: Total War also runs fine under Linux with Proton, but I couldn’t get it to run on Windows, anymore (Flash).So it really depends on your game.

The latter seems like all the more reason to have more people per km² buying solar panels, no?
Also, more divided than Germany? How so?

How about Germany and the UK?
Because Japan is larger than either.

True, but saying Brew is unsafe but Flatpak isn’t, isn’t too odd, either.
- The Ramen Dutchman@ttrpg.networktoLinux@lemmy.ml•The wonderful world of Linux package managers1·1 month ago
I get that it’s less secure, but using verified flatpaks beats homebrew by a large margin.
- The Ramen Dutchman@ttrpg.networktoLinux@lemmy.ml•The wonderful world of Linux package managers12·1 month ago
Shame they didn’t mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code
That’s so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you’re at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)
Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.
LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they’re malicious!

I’m just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.
I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.

Nobody said anything about the init system, though.
