  • I felt like I should add something to defense side, so I did a quick install of Linux Mint limited to 4GB of RAM, with no swap.

    I didn’t know what to run, so here’s LibreOffice Impress, SuperTuxKart, and Firefox with this Lemmy post open, streaming internet radio, playing 1080p YouTube video, and an additional tab with forum post about forcing software rendering as SuperTuxKart was horribly broken inside the VM.

    Fits into the 4GB.

    Additionally, just for fun, you can see the RAM usage on my host, also nearing full usage. You may also see a pretty solid benchmark of the VM disk in the screenshot. This is because I installed the VM into tmpfs on the host.

    Seems pretty damn usable, even for some multi-tasking.





  • Mint -> Manjaro -> Arch
    I also have absolutely broken Mint install that I’ll probably keep using until it stops booting. I thought it would be simpler to put Mint on a headless computer and use GUI over VNC.
    Then come issues with permissions/dbus or whatever is going on.
    Couple days ago I tried to do version upgrade, but couldn’t use GUI anymore due to broken permissions. One of the python scripts that do the upgrade managed to at least partially work (GUI wouldn’t run as root), by which I mean the GUI package manager complaining about “corrupted” repo list or something like that. But at least it updated the repo names, and what is Linux OS other than a bunch of packages, so I just rolled with it and ran apt upgrade.
    I mean, it’s running Linux mint, but the main method of connection is SSH and in case things go bad, serial port. This is already cursed.

    I am just too used to Arch. I have no idea what versions even do aside from keeping major package versions separate (which sounds like I should be able to just change version name in sources list).

    But I do cursed things often. I also have a laptop with Proxmox that I put KDE Plasma on, and pass windows from VMs using Waypipe. Yeah, similar to Qubes OS, but also unstable and less secure.
