Was kann man mit einem MacBookPro von Oktober 2010 eigentlich noch machen? 🤔

Updates bekommt das Gerät seit 2020 keine mehr.

Meiner Mum will ich nen neuen MacMini besorgen. Denke mit M2 dürfte sie gut versorgt sein. Aber der alte Mac, der läuft an sich auch noch rund.

Würde darauf ein aktuelles Ubuntu 22.04 LTS laufen? 🤔

Oder gar ein OpenSuse Tumbleweed? 🤔

kkarhan,

@necrosis Als @ubuntu / 22.04 LTS sollte drauf laufen...

Ggf. RAM & SSD upgraden...

Was auf jeden fall läuft ist @bunsenlabs / und sowie @Raspberry_Pi ...

"240 million PCs could end up in landfills when Windows 10 support ends"

Sure.

Or they could be repurposed with or Chrome OS Flex, or , and we can stop being so freaking dramatic.

If you just browse, watch Netflix, shop, net banking, etc, Linux distributions like Mint or Ubuntu could save you money. It is an environment-friendly option.

kkarhan,

@nixCraft Yeah...

Jist put on some @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS amd hve a good Desktoo for 5-10+ years amd even lowest-end machines can be repurposed with @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux or if you want something to just surf on, consider #PorteusKiosk.

Either way, I think #Microsoft should be forced to pay for those >240M PCs they decided to obsolete for no good reason and that this should be accounted for in their #CarbonFootprint as a #Corporation!

kkarhan,

@Venn sounds like someone took a look at #PorteusKiosk & @opensuse #microOS and decided immuteable images are a goid thing...

kkarhan, to linux

I guess I fecked up on this build of OS/1337...

need to repackage rootfs.cpio.xz and see if that works....

https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issues/2#issuecomment-1837628147

#OS1337 #EmbeddedLinux #Linux #embedded #Development

kkarhan,

@SweetAIBelle same for me, tho I wanted some #TUI-based distro that fits my needs below what @bunsenlabs and #PorteusKiosk run comfortably on...

kkarhan, to random

Someone asked me in regards to OS/1337 "why don't you just use mkroot from @landley ?"

https://landley.net/toybox/downloads/binaries/mkroot/latest/

And that is a valid question.

To sum it up:

  1. #mkroot for #i486 requires 3MiB of storage and thus is not an option for the 1440kB target size of the current, minimalist system.

  2. shure I could instead make a #Syslinux #bootFloppy but that feels like cheating...

  3. In the end the idea of OS/1337 is to build a #TUI-based #Desktop that can be built to run on everything.

#OS1337

kkarhan,

...or some old #ThinClients that can't even do @bunsenlabs or #PorteusKiosk but otherwise are still useable as "#FatClients" in the sense of just using a slimmed-down OS to work with.

Also OS/1337 intents to be fully transparent in the sense that it can be used for #CriticalInfrastructure by virtue of being fully-automateable "#BuildFromSource" so on fully #airgapped systems and networks it can be deployed after it went through the ardourous #audit pipeline said users demand.

If you cannot pull the power off of your personal computer and just have some lines of shell history gone to waste it is not a good computer.

kkarhan, (edited )

@kurth granted I do prefer - - Systems that avoid writes as much as possible and I do intent do enable OS/1337 to support a "boot from RAM" mode where it's copied as and then started...

Because I do like that feature from @bunsenlabs / Linux and as it provides a fast-feeling system whilst also yeeting all data afterwards.

Pretty shure @tails_live still wipes RAM manually at shutdown...

    So strictly speaking a PC running #PorteusKiosk isn't a #Terminal in the sense, but a #Teletype is a #Terminal...

    no comment

    kkarhan,

    @thomasgriffiths @sqrt2 that very much depends, but in General, I'd recommend @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS on #Desktop and #Server and #OpenXchange or @nextcloud for any #Groupware as well as @libreoffice and/or @CollaboraOffice for Editing.

    In the end it kinda dependa on the setup and individual / organizational demands:

    For those looking for a replacement for #ChromeOS & #Gsuite or #Office365, #PorteusKiosk + #NextcloudHub is a good combo.

    chirpbirb, to linux

    i really don't think #linux users recognize: we are weird for using linux. and that's okay! but we are like literally less than 5% of the desktop computing userbase. nobody knows what the fuck a compiler is or how to debug a package manager. they just want to browse reddit or whatever

    kkarhan,

    @odoben @chirpbirb Unless #nvidia will continue to be assholes requiring their #BinaryBlob #Firmware to be injected...

    But in the end most users don't care.

    All they want is shit to work and be able to do the tasks they do.

    they con't care if they use #UbuntuLTS / @ubuntu , @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabs, #Goolge #ChromeOS or #PorteusKiosk to do so.

    I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.

    If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.

    No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps

    Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

    kkarhan,

    @toby not really.

    I migrate #TechIlliterates all the time to #UbuntuLTS /
    @ubuntu because at the end of the day, NO #TechIlliterate cares about what OS / Distro / ... they use.

    All they want is being able to #consoom social media, maybe write and print a letter and check their eMails.

    They don't care if they have #Windows, #Ubuntu, @bunsenlabs or #PorteusKiosk at their disposal, as long as they can click and type and get shit done...
