I recently bought a windows 8 era laptop with a pretty bad pentium and 4gb of ram. I was wondering what distro would be the best purely on the basis of getting the most performance out of the laptop. I'm basically a complete novice at using linux, but windows 10 ltsc isnt cutting it so I figured its time to branch out and try something new.

>>107736569
start with Mint XFCE

>>107736577
Don't do this, Mint is extremely cumbersome
>>107736569
You've got more than enough horsepower for any distro with the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment, which will give you basically the Windows GUI except without eating up all your RAM. If you're not interested in tinkering, there's several choices! The question is what sort of update frequency do you want?
>I want updates very, very, very rarely
Go with Debian KDE
>I want updates maybe once a week or month
Go with Manjaro KDE
>I want updates ASAP
CachyOS if and only if your CPU supports x86_64_v3

I too had to install Linux on an old laptop and worried that I needed to install a lightweight distro. So I did, only to discover I had a comically large amount of headroom lol. Windows trains you into believing your hardware is inadequate when it is not. So I put a Plasma distro on this bitch and it's been smooth sailing ever since. In the Linux world, lightweight doesn't mean it'll run on a 10yo laptop, but a 20yo laptop, so I doubt you will find yourself stretched thin on the CPU side with Plasma. But if that does end up being the case, consider using the Xfce desktop environment instead.

There's multiple ways. First is this from the website; you paste this into the terminal and you are done:

sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core

sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo

sudo dnf install brave-browser

The second way is you download the Brave Flatpak from your preferred app store. I believe there may also be an .rpm installers you can download from the GitHub, but don't quote me on that.

>>107736862
Thanks for the advice. Any considerations for running any of these on the same drive? As far as I've researched, all you have to do is partition out the drive for each and it all should be fine. I don't plan on updating my windows install ever so I don't think I will have problems with the boot managers fighting each other.

You are having an emotional melt down over something that has not really happened yet. Like a slow motion car crash.
1. Try and cancel the order stating you have reservations that the new system might not be for you. It's not really an asshole move to make, people do it all the time.
2. Return the item, in perfect condition (otherwise you are an asshole), if you evaluate it and decide it doesn't work for you. It will probably cost you postage or something.
3. Deal with it and change up how you work. Maybe you will learn to love it.
4. You get anxiety attacks? Maybe learn how to deal with that.

>>107736803
>3. Deal with it and change up how you work. Maybe you will learn to love it.
I intend on doing that since it seems like the most reasonable thing to do and the seller doesn't accept returns, making 1 and 2 not apply.

>4. You get anxiety attacks? Maybe learn how to deal with that.
My learning is in progress and I think I have been getting notably better over the past year and a half. I think I'm mostly worried because this is a very large sum of money to me and I seldomly make any purchases--not even small ones.

>>107736915
Fair enough. Depending where you live, you may have consumer protections, but you'd have to go full Karen to take that route.

At the end of the day, you just made a slightly impulsive purchase. Not like you got robbed or anything.

Stop the tranny shit.

You aren't a woman.

Trying to become one won't work and it won't make your life any better. You have to work with the hand you were dealt with.

You are not a "trans woman" as compared to a "cis woman". They are women and you are a man.

Does it suck? Maybe, yeah. In modern society they have it all and we don't have shit unless we get it by force. But you have to keep a stoic attitude toward that fact and cope with the life and the body your metaphorical soul happened to land into.

Good. Deepseek is still better than anything else.

But are they going to fix the issue of ds looping endlessly, once in a while?
It's when you ask for a list and ai starts thinking or outputting a random endless list or repeating 2 items from the list.

>>107736378
Tweak your repetition penalty parameters.

1) Jewish autist genius invents new breakthrough technique
2) American businessmen scale and monetize the techinque, making big money
3) Although the technique is already operating to its full potential, chinese and indian programmers jump in the mix, tweaking it and manipulating it in superficial ways that trick metrics into producing higher scores. These are bullshit manipulations, and users notice no improvement in performance or sometimes a degradation (You are Here)
4) Another Jewish autist comes along and discovers a new breakthrough that does everything the prior technique did but at 10x efficiency

(and repeat to infinity...)

Because MS's NT kernel was such garbage that Linux - which LARPed as a monokernel despite copying its API from a microkernel - managed to beat them across the board. And Linux wasn't even the worst UNIX derivative out there.

MS lost the server sector, and because they couldn't reclaim it with superior performance they stated flinging shit.

This. Why would anyone run something on their computer that introduces instabilities like this? when I turn on my PC in the morning, I want it to be in the same state that it was when I powered it off the evening prior. And if I need to patch something, I want it tested prior to mainline release, not to be AI-slop shoveled out the door from mumbai.

Personally;
>Better documentation (man pages actually exist)
>Better kernel and the concept of base system (linux is terrible in both respects)
>Better support for foreign software/more foreign users/developers (mostly Japanese don't really care about any other non-English outsiders)
>Community consists of actual developers instead of LARPing faggots (NetBSD and OpenBSD)
>Tools are better for managing the system (sysctl, ifconfig vs. ip, coreutils are much better etc.)
>No constant churn of BS re-writes of existing software shoved in as default with zero testing only to be quickly replaced again in a couple of years. The stuff I used and learned in mid-90s is the stuff we're still using today
>Much much higher quality community to interact with IRL at hackerthons and cons
>No constant licensing autism
>No idol worship (even Theo gets called a faggot on a daily basis)
>better firewall/networking tools (pf is amazing and I refuse to use anything else these days)

What are Japanese users doing with BSD? What hardware are they running? Are they mostly sysadmins or programmers? What explains their being so many of them in say NetBSD? Can you elaborate on BSD ports vs Portage? Are you saying every BSD ports tree is superior? Isn't Portage more granular with USE flags? What makes Xenocara special? Isn't it just a few security patches?

re-balling a GPU is so fucking low on the list of things that might fix it. 99% of the time it's a VRM, cap, or memory module. The former 2 are completely trivial and the latter is the only reason GPUs are currently expensive.

I guess the first example that comes to mind is those "skin suit" videos in the early Biden presidency that made people say "ZOMG He's a lizard person" could be explained by AI upscaling or filtering.
