  • Using ZRAM on a laptop with 8 GB RAM. Worth it or waste of CPU?

    Jump

  • I have some Linux installed on my x240, Mini PC, and 12th Gen Intel Core i3 laptop with ZRAM without any issues.

    Here are screenshots of the dual boot Linux on my old Mini PC, Celeron with 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD

  • Yeah I guess, if you already have Android phone without Google Assistant or Gemini installed.

    It's probably already installed on the latest Android phones.

  • No, I never tried running it on Linux, I don't think it would work well with Wine. Because the unlocking tool requires access to USB port.

  • Unfortunately no, I use a cheap xiaomi phone as a daily driver.

    Yes, Xiaomi phones are the worst when it comes to privacy. Fortunately, it has communities and many custom roms. I just need to install the custom rom without installing gapps.

  • On the subject of privacy, they're both the same. They're runs on top of Gapps, which has access to the Android system. Anything you type, what you do, or what you think. They will send all the data to Google's servers and feed the AI. And Google probably knows you better than you know yourself.

  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

  • of course, you don't want M$ Copilot digging into your porn history, do you?

  • privacy issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird

  • In SMTP/POP3 sessions never required that kind of information. Unless you're using their apps like Google Mail or M$ Outlook, they might send those kind of information to their servers, but that's outside from SMTP/POP3 sessions.

    You should avoid using VPN with Google account, your Google account can get banned.

    Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

    Jump

  • I don't think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.

    Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.

  • That's one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I'm not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.

  • IMEI concern grapheneOS

    Jump

  • is there any benefit? unless you are the target of spy agencies. but I don't think it's worth it.

    stay away from mainstream social media, better yet use custom ROMs and don't install gapps. use system-wide adblockers or change your DNS in addition to ISP DNS.

    remember, government agencies can always buy your data from data brokers.

    if possible, don't use M$ Windows, it sends telemetry to M$ server.

    for example I use Linux as my daily driver, and I still use dnscrypt-proxy to avoid government censorship

  • The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arrive

    Jump

  • In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

  • What's the future of the Linux ?

  • I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. Perhaps I will use it as network storage. it has an external SATA port, so I can add another storage.

    At first I just wanted to learn arch-based Linux. But I found it easier to learn OMV, as it has a similar learning curve to Debian and Ubuntu-based distros.

  • suprisingly, we have more posts this week 👀

    Two weeks ago I installed dual boot EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva on my potato Mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 500 GB HDD), but I haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet. 🙄

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

  • I have several options here : OrangePI, used Android TV box, mini PC, thin-client and laptop.

    currently just installed dual boot Linux on my old mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

  • The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

  • just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

  • Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

    There's a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let's say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.
