you can buy used hard drives for pretty reasonable amounts of money

Matrix?

very nice!

Sounds stressful asf, you should try take a break and relax (e.g. turn off all computers in the house for a few days). The rushed decisions you make now might not be the best

In terms of suggestions, I’d recommend:

• Isolating untrustworthy network devices (e.g. web3 shit and your roommate’s pc) in VLANs
• Running untrustworthy code in containers or vms
• Getting a proper router (openwrt one maybe?) and managing it yourself, don’t let your roommate touch it
• Setting up firewalls on your pc (restrict ports to the ones you actually need)

This would involve learning more about networking, Wikipedia and the arch wiki has pretty good information on it.

I think for cjk typing you can use fcitx5 with the input method engine corresponding to your language. have a look here

EDUT: actually the arch wiki has a good writeup on this

still uses glibc right? I think the big thing about alpine is that it uses musl as its libc

it is what it is. I’ve personally just decided that performance is worth sacrificing for a better OS, but it’s understandable if that’s not worth it for you

or only write instructions for Linux if you’re really evil

tf? seems like the article has been completely replced, now has info on hkw there isn’t a defect

I’d try:

• running solaar from the terminals so you get the output log
• checking what you have in /etc/udev/rules.d

dxvk usually uses way more vram tho

oh bruh i meant gtk4/5 haha sorry

at least kde has some ui density, gtk5/6 is atrocious on lowres displays

you’ll become comfortable with the cli, it’s seriously not hard.

all you need to know to start is:

• ls (list files)
• cd (change directory)
• nano (edit text file)

then you can branch out from there

I thought Lynx used headless Firefox as the backend? isn’t the old one Links?

I LOVE MY PUTER

ENTHUSIASTS SOMEHOW KEEP IT WORKING

it’s a quad core?? damn, the decadence is unimaginable

how about things like ffmpeg? lots of that stuff is written in assembly

they both use decentralizable tech, but in practice only mastodon is decentralized
