Thanks for actually explaining your position - I'm annoyed it got nixed because I actually wanted to read it properly!

You didn't know I was a moron, to be fair.

Turkey isn't in Cuba /s

(But I see your point).

Come on mods - it's fine for people to disagree/discuss/whatever.

Maybe I'm a moron and maybe this person is a tactless tankie.

I actually appreciated that there's some actual fucking discussion here.

I mean, I'm being facetious, it's obviously shitty that people are being fed into a meat grinder, but from where I'm sitting it seems like Ukraine is being used as a fertile market for armements and whoever makes up the bunch I charge of Russia's nukes are using them as an attempt to stop interference in their efforts to annexe a neighbour.

What's the chapo traphouse/ML take on this?

Is the correct narrative that poor old Russia is being pushed to use nukes by NATO operations which are attempting to stop the annexation of Ukraine?

Not really - there's plenty of use cases where running memory intensive stuff like that isn't an issue and running a small footprint distro makes more sense than, say, a maximalist, fully featured desktop distro.

I'm not trying to run a media centre or play games on my 11 year old MacBook!

I mean, they just want to sell missiles and make that moolah. It's the man in Moscow who keeps threatening nuclear winter...

Point taken!

I don't think the lite distros are to blame for performance drops in that case, are they? Unless it's down to a lack of system optimisation.

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

Fair enough!

I've done some blindingly stupid things with my installs in the past, and I'm not angling to try any in the near future - I guess I'll just embrace the reinstallation game!

"Accidentally threw it away" really sounds more like "threw it away, didn't have a backup, he now regrets throwing it away".

Dread to think what his solicitor is making by allowing this delusion to continue (unless he's representing himself in which case...fair enough I suppose). I've been reading about this man for years it seems like.

That's a blast from the past! I used to run #! On my 701...

 

I have an old notebook which I've been toying with a few smaller distros on (typically easy to install, liveCD types), and while I enjoy the tinkering aspects of this, I had a thought that I've been mulling.

In the past I've run distributions based on larger, better supported, systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.) and if or when they have folded, like crunchbang did, or PeppermintOS (however briefly), I just changed them out.

However, if I were to go back to peppermintOS, say, would it be feasible to 'convert' the system to the parent distribution? So, could I force peppermintOS to 'become' Debian, for example? Or is this overly simplistic? It's a level of engagement with my operating systems that I just haven't had!
