+1 on lower tier Intel CPU mini PC. I have a slew of different boxes by Beelink, Intel, and Asus. The N95 box I bought from Beelink (basically an N100) has been one of the most impressive for being so low power, and yet handling the wealth of services I’ve been running on it (with a lot of overhead yet).
The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.
I was mostly being tongue in cheek, but I think it might be possible to launch steam in big picture mode, rendered by Gamescope, from the TUI. No DE required.
It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.
It says so on the installer page where you are asked to enter a root password.
FWIW: I’m not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don’t have to set up sudo manually.
Don’t install a GUI and you can just skip this step
Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)
You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.
FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.
No, I mean it was debian based. When Steam Deck released, they moved to being an immutable arch based distribution instead.
It also isn’t currently made available for install outside of the Steam Deck yet.
SteamOS prior to steamdeck is an entirely different distribution FYI
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
I’ve become a big fan of mini PC’s for home server use these days (with NAS systems for storage duties). Low power, low heat, low noise, and very affordable.
Beelink on Amazon makes a good selection of them. Always watch for sales. I have several of their machines and have been pleasantly surprised by all of them. The latest addition was one of their N95 systems with 8GB of memory. It hosts Jellyfin, Deluge, Wireguard (client and server), dns, forgejo, etc.
Reasons are usually just newest kernel/mesa/etc. Most of the time the difference is very small, and often inconsequential. However, every now and again there is a major development that might make it worth it (IE: The graphics pipeline that all but made dxvk-async obsolete)
As a C# developer on Linux, I wish this was more true than it is. Working on a multi project dotnet solution in VSCode is still far behind Visual Studio / Jetbrains Rider.
Its also worth pointing out that the more you add to VSCode, the slower it becomes. If you add the toolkits to make it compete with Jetbrains products, it isn’t nearly the same lightweight editor anymore.
Won’t speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE’s. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.
Do you have any sources for this?
Who is in the wrong? Your manager, for not giving you time to refactor? Or you for giving him the option?
I just installed 11 recently. There isn’t a skip button anymore. I had to enter fake sign in details for it to give me the “offline” option.
So it seems like their point may still stand.
Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don’t skip this step.
Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).
If you are certain you don’t have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.
