My work M1 Mac is so slowed down with MS security shit that I installed Linux under Parallels to make it run faster.

go build usually takes 8s vs 1s on Linux. Running mvp takes up to 12s vs instant on Linux.

It is the same machine and Linux is running under emulator! Microsoft must die…

Can AI open a jar? Can AI kill a spider?

For servers, yes. But I want full control on desktop.

It was Ubuntu. Switched to Artix…

Systemd has its own OOM killer which was killing my VMs as soon as there is more than 50% of RAM in use.

There was a power loss, my PC was on UPS for some time and UPS battery started running low. I initiated the shutdown and systemd stopped it because it could not find a network share on the already stopped server. It didn’t gave up so I ended with fucked filesystem because the battery died. Switched to systemd free distro the day after.

Yes, download qcow2 image and run it with qemu/virtual machine manager. I run it that way when I want to test something. Feel free to ask for help.

You lock it with flatpak as much as you can. Also, don’t keep it running if not needed.

Why asking for up arrow in Nautilus when you can always press alt+f8

It is easy to go fast if you have no features.

Ability to recognize non-ASCII characters in the dialer? Nope… Ability to skip auto connect to the Bluetooth device? Nope, never again… Record phone calls? No, fuck you, we don’t like it in US so it is banned to the whole world. Here you are a feature nobody asks for and shut up…

Does it work after sleep / suspend?

The first was Redhat Linux 7, but not for long. I moved to Slackware soon after.
