Vim wastes all good keybinds on text editing bullshit you never need for code editing, while things like "go to definition" or "rename this symbol" get awkward bullshit combinations that also never work right.
>>
unlike vim where you just have to learn the basic key commands and a few .vimrc settings, neovim requires learning everything all at once to turn it into a full IDE, which means you should already know the basics of vim and then read a book that tells you how to use all the plugins so you can make intelligent choices on how you want it set up

It needs similar capabilities like what Cursor has. I will happily switch back to Neovim when it can suggest autocompletion and tab jumping while understanding whole projects.

Yes. Even if we only look at upscaling, VLC uses bicubic by default iirc and mpv uses lanczos and the difference is obvious. VLC is meant to be simple and fast, mpv is meant to be high-quality and highly configurable. Both have a lot of features.

mpv is the coomer's player of choice. got a huge collection you wanna zip through? bind next & previous to your mouse wheel and there you go. Seriously tho, the only thing vlc has going for it are the better on screen controls, mpv is better in every other way. And even the controls aren't an issue if you take 2 minutes to edit your input.conf

Pretty crazy how people continually fail to notice the scope of impact reduced to that which blatently advertises itself for avoiding authority oversight. And how anything not framing itself with this specific use is business as normal.

Well. Gee. You're a few decades late on that one.
Instead of worrying what them pesky brits is up to, don't you think it'd be more productive to question why the NSA is currently sabotaging cryptography standards, or why every "gud ol' murrican" digital firm is going out of their way to gather invasive metrics that have little tangible use from an advertising perspective, why you can't keep china out of your networks, in fact, there's a lot of "authoritarian" things a *lot* closer to home you need to be very concerned about. Like that orange fucknuckle in the whitehouse that's trying his hardest to tank your economy and already incited a riot when he lost power once.

Then it'd be *real* pertainent to pay attention to the specific wording in the legislation that makes this a massive nothingburger for anything that's primary "selling point" isn't "evade the police".

I recently got some old celeron laptop
its a 3rd gen celeron 2890
I want to put a OS that's useful in 2026 on it.

i know its going to be linux bit i want it normie friendly to open up the list of buyers
what should i put on it
assuming i can get this e4Z1-512 working
it was a where house laptop and since then its shut down its laptop section
so i'm wanting to add a 120GB ssd to it
as i don't think its worth it to buy better

i hate seeing saveabe machines even very buget ones go to waste.
what operating system is best for 3rd gen celerons

ive only had 3 three gen laptops all i5's

Not happening. I had a similar situation this year, and the best I could do was Bodhi Linux. Config took all night, because it's the most user-unfriendly thing in the world. That being said, it still ran Chromium just fine, and the desktop can (after a monumental amount of work) be made to look a bit like 2000s macOS.
>i hate seeing saveabe machines even very buget ones go to waste.
Me too. I fix them and give them to my younger brother to play with. You will not, however, be able to realistically sell them. Moore's law puts hard limits on the working life of everything with a processor.
>is it possible to save the old girl?
Yes, but not as a general purpose computer. It should be repurposed for a more specialised task so you can minimise bloat. It could, for example, be used as a retro games console, or run a MARS engine for Core War competitions. Or you could do some IoT experiments and use your old laptop to get data from sensors around your house.
You could even use the very hardware constraints as an experiment in itself, by seeing how fast you can get it to run. You might even install Linux from scratch and try to design your own distro and upload it to GitHub/Gitlab. That kind of thing looks great on a resume, because it proves deep understanding of dependencies.
>what is the lowest cpu useage linix that is user frinedly with full gui support?
What exactly do you count as "full gui"? If you mean a full desktop environment that a normalfag can use after you configure it for them, then your options are very limited (Slackware, TinyCore, Bodhi, etc). If you're willing to use a more minimal interface, however, you have the option to experiment with more powerful distros and debloat them with simpler window manager.
As a wildcard, you might also experiment with installing Emacs without a GUI. Then you can play with all the different packages and amaze yourself with what is possible from a text-only interface.

It's able enough to do that, uses very little power, generates almost no heat whatsoever. I just gave it a shitty 128GB old SSD for the system and upgraded the RAM from 4 to 8.
