Im looking to buy a UMPC, to function as a pocket PC to run Linux, to use as a computer for when I travel so I'm not relying on a touch screen android. I'd predominately used it for browsing the web, watching videos, typing documents and maybe playing some really old lightweight games. I've found a good condition used MicroPC 1 going for $400 usd, as well as a good conditioned used Pocket 3 for $550 usd, I can also buy a new MicroPC 2 for $740 usd. I've been looking at other brand options such as the Cosmo Communicator, Chuwi Minibook, X-Plus Piccolo, Kooforway and Kootigers, but I'm honestly really unsure which is the best product to choose. Anyone offer any advice/insight?

Considering using either Bazzite or PikaOS,

Bazzite strikes me as much more polished, professional, reliable, stable, more likely to continue to receive maintenance, less likely to have problems with, compared to PikaOS

However, I'm concerned about the bandwidth. I have a limited amount of downloads per month.

Can anyone tell me how large the updates for Bazzite might be every month and how large they will be for PikaOS?

Is it fine to use bazzite, maybe only updating it once every month or two, in order to conserve internet data?

Wanting for everyday usage as well aa for gaming purposes through steam and wine/lutris.

I have a high performance PC. Need a distro that will be easy to use with either good community support or good online documentation, priotising stability as I'm bad at fixing things when they break.

Considering between MX Linux, SparkyLinux, SpiralLinux, Kubuntu, KDE Neon,

I'm concerned about having issues with snaps as I read theyre bad. I read though that snaps can be removed, but would that create problems , such as when updating to the next major release? would I have to remove them and deal with potential dependency problems every time a major update happens?

I'm seeking a woman from anywhere in the world to formulate some sort of connection; ideally I'd like someone to communicate and interact with on a long-term basis. I want someone who is open to exchanging voice messages and/or have phone calls.

I suffer from chronic depression, which has lead me to adopt a hermit lifestyle living in an isolated rural region. I spend a lot of my time playing some sort of strategy and/or RPG game whilst consuming marijuana.

Lately my biggest passion has been history: I enjoy immersing myself into different historical time periods and love costume dramas for this reason. I enjoy imaging what it would be like to live in a different time and/or culture. I feel

boot into black screen

migrating to Linux

I recently installed SpiralLinux. I'm having multiple problems, one of them being, sometimes, not always, when I boot into it, the screen turns completely black and there appears to be nothing I can do, other than restart the PC, and hope it isn't black this time.

How can I fix this problem?

Black screen upon boot

migrating to Linux

Recently installed SpiralLinux MATE (Debian). When I left for enough time that the screen goes into power mode, upon returning the screen would flicker badly.

Then, when I was in Windows(dual-boot setup), I restarted the PC and launched Linux from GRUB. The screen was completely black then and not responsive.

i have two monitors. now when restarted it, the smaller monitor had the grub screen on it, while the bigger monitor is black. then when it boots up, it corrects itself.

what can I do to fix this GRUB issue and stop it from ever being black screen when booting into it?

Screen tearing

migrating to Linux

Hello

I recently installed SpiralLinux MATE. I ran sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade.

When I leave the PC running for awhile without touching it, the screen goes into power saving mode. When I return and waken up the monitor, there's a horrible screen tearing issue. I've taken a photo of it here to show:

I couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot so I used my mobile for the photo.

Please help me to fix this problem. I'm trying to migrate to Linux and I don't know how to fix this problem.

r/Marijuana•

I'm struggling with fatigue/brain-fog/anxiety and wondering if the daily marijuana consumption could be contributing to this?

If it does, how long of a tolerance break would someone need to recover from these symptoms?

How often could someone use marijuana, and not be effected by these symptoms?

Hello, I'm trying to decide between whether to use Debian or Tumbleweed. I feel as if the deciding factor is the kernel, as I wish to have a more modern kernel than Debian provides, for gaming related performance issues.

I understand I can change the kernel that comes with Debian. I understand theres kernels that claim to be made with gaming performance in mind, and that there's Debian back port kernels.

Can anyone explain to me if theres any potential issues with using different kernels with Debian? I am apprehensive of breaking something and then being unable to use my PC because of so, as this is what happened with my previous Linux OS and it sent me back to windowsland.
