  1. A long while ago, years ago, I picked up a Dell Inspiron 530 with the Celeron450, over time I picked up a PCIe Network Card, 1Gb Ethernet Network Adapter, a Internal USB 2.0 PCI Card, 5 Port (4 External & 1 Internal) PCI Expansion to USB 2 Adapter Hub, 2 ARCTIC P9 PWM PST - PC Fans, a Western Digital 2TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive, a GeForce GT 610 and some thermal paste, all of this here and there over the years and in a box parts all sat, see when I got the 530 I had plans of making a Sleeper FIle Server for myself, but at the time my landlord need a computer to use theirs had just died, and at the time I thought it was just going to be momentary, but turned into years, so here and there I collected and stored for its eventual return, well there hard drive finally gave up the ghost and well the 530 simply worn out, I brought it back in with me, I cleaned it out, gave it fresh thermal paste, added the new fans, the pcie and pci I added the graphics card, slapped in the new drive, installed #LinuxLite, set up #samba, #ssh, #ufw, then I had 3 WDP10 drives that I stuffed in the case and plugged into that usb pci hub, after install update getting it all working, I shut it out from the outside world with ufw, and all my files are on one little machine that could, running cool around 40c 48c under full load, and with the display shut off, and even if I could manage to use all it's power 24/7 the way I have it setup will cost $12 a month to keep on, no more plugging and unplugging usbs, no more overloading a daily machine with files to slow it down, no it may have taken years and it may be on one tired out machine most would have tossed out a long time ago, I finally have a file server that will serve me for years to come, age everything ages, everything wears out everything breaks, everything deserves the respect and attention to restore it to use it as it is, not toss it out, we toss out so much junk, junk that can always serve a purpose, sadly far to often people are also tossed out because we are old, agging, worn out, broken, ignored for our experiences disregarded for our usess, because no one is willing to take the time to knock the dust off give a little compassion and offer a little dignity for the use we may have left;

    eine sparsame grafische Oberfläche braucht weniger Ressourcen und zudem laufen bei
    #linux auch nicht so viele Anwendungen im Hintergrund mit.

    #xfce #lxqt wären geeignet für ältere Hardware

    oder die Distributionen
    #linuxlite #bunsenlabs #bodhilinux #q4os #legacyos ..... u.a.

  6. Ich bringe ja immer noch die alten Rechner vom Amt auf Vordermann, damit meine Flüchtis die dann benutzen können.
    SSD rein, 4 GB RAM rein und dann #LinuxMint (Cinnamon oder XFCE) oder #LinuxLite installiert, fertig.
    Heute habe ich zwei PC eingerichtet. Bei einem habe ich aus Jux 8 GB RAM reingepackt und #MXLinux installiert.
    Einer meiner #Flüchtlinge bekommt also eine richtig SCHNELLE Maschine. 😎 Der PC geht richtig ab!

    Ich glaube, ich pimpe meinen PC auf der Arbeit auch etwas auf. 🤔

  7. Bringing a true vintage ThinkPad back to life! ✨ Installed Linux Lite 7.4 (based on 24.04 LTS) on my old X200.
    Linux Lite is PERFECT for minimal hardware like this. Makes the X200 usable again for basic tasks!

  11. #IceWM has a newer version, hopefully #AntiX will update their packages. #MutterMuffin has a new release as of 2 days ago to be updated in #NixOS and #LinuxMint. #XFCE has not had a new release in 2 years and is used in #KaliLinux, #LinuxLite (lol), and #MXLinux. Looking forward to the updates in the soon to be release #AlpineLinux to get the next benchmark-a-thon cycle going. :)

  12. One of my biggest parenting annoyances is the grandparents showing shows on their smartphone. It's ads, it's tiny screen close by, I don't like it. So I've set up #kodi on an old laptop running #linuxlite and connected it to the TV. The channels add-on is working pretty well. Had to do some non-entry level setting of an api for it to work, but it does. But now. Now I can't figure out to also show videos it already played. You'd think that would be an easy to find setting, 'show played'. But no.

  13. 🚀 Выпуск Linux Lite 7.2 с новым менеджером тем Lite и расширенной поддержкой AI на базе Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

  14. Video on #LinuxLite with #XFCE #DesktopEnvironment #Performance #Benchmark youtube.com/watch?v=3dgSK2JMfl. Linux Lite with XFCE performs worse than #KaliLinux with XFCE. Curious why use #Linux Lite with XFCE when there are Linux Distribution better options.

  15. So, I tried today and I didn't expect to be disappointed, but here I am. I don't like , in fact it is making me consider a different distro and different DE for a laptop that I have that currently runs Fedora. Lately, with the kernel has really been my favorite. But, I don't want 2 machines with the same distro. So, the search for another distro continues. I think may be a contender.
