The “do nothing and win” strategy.

Wfce?

I have an older x86 tablet that I tinker with. The DE I have found to work the best with touch only is KDE Plasma Mobile. Reliable and works similarly to Android. I don’t recommend Fedora as a distro for this as they do not have the Maliit keyboard in the repos and you will have to build it yourself.

GNOME has been surprisingly unstable, like an update might ruin some touch capability and make the tablet unusable. It also had weird quirks like not being able to move some windows around, or the cursor some how getting stuck and needing to plug in a mouse to move it again.

Currently I am running EndeavourOS with plasma mobile installed from the AUR which works really well the only thing that sucks is when there is an update for the DE and I have to build the package, which takes a while on that tablet.

Whichever distro you pick, go with the KDE version, then install “plasma-mobile” from the repos.

Probably the one that points to the ram stats in the terminal, under hardware info.

Didn’t see it mentioned here but check out Keep Alive.

Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.

More like ClownStrike.

You should be able to make docker exempt from early oom. Check it’s github for instructions.

Some time ago I wasted about 2 hours of time because of that damn brltty, wondering why the tf the arduino was not being detected until I followed dmesg. I was very upset at the time when I found out what brltty was. Like I get some people need that but if the user did not connect a braille display during install then the daemon should never be enabled or just uninstalls during os installation.

But…but the neofetch!?

Probably, android devices and especially Samsung can be locked down. I don’t know your model though I feel like there are 4,327 variants of “galaxy note”.

No I did not have GPU accel. I’m curious what you are referring to losing work due to a misclick? Personally I don’t use desktop icons. I’m a previous i3 user so I am used to using my computer with a non traditional interface.

As someone who tried out MacOS in a VM out of curiosity I don’t find gnome to be like MacOS at all in overall functionality. I think to most people it just looks like Mac because top bar, dock and some design choices. Really though gnome is much more like Android. MacOS felt extremely clunky to use vs gnome’s fluid workspace and app switching.

Well I know my local army base (US) was looking for Linux sys admins, so I figure they have some servers on base.

True, kind of silly you have to install an extension because the default gnome weather won’t just let you use open weather.

It doesn’t use open weather unfortunately. It uses the Norwegian Meteorology Institute and their weather prediction is poor/entirely inaccurate for much of the world. I do wish open weather was an option especially since it’s easy to get your own weather api key.

Agree, the old windows blue screen would sear your retinas, could definitely be tuned down a bit.

You could use the android studio flatpak, install flatseal to ensure the app doesn’t have permissions you don’t want.

Yes definitely as one word like ch as in change then own, same with chroot.
