Pretty much. If I could get a lock on a price, I might buy one as a glorified Raspberry Pi and stick it in one of those Cooler Master cases for fun and testing.

Could you slap custom roms on those things?

Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.

“Search in all tabs” would be so awesome. I don’t do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I’m flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it’s always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.

I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it’s clearly a use case.

Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?

Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I’m utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.

You have 64GB RAM and that’s still not enough for your browser. Wow.

I’ve come away from this with only more questions. What does your Downloads folder/Filesystem look like? Do you have notebooks or any real world allocation of information? What’s that like? What kinds of things do you keep in a junk drawer?

Absolutely fascinating.

Awesome!

point a USB fan at them

We’re cut from the same cloth 👌

Interesting! How many Pi 5’s are going into your cluster, and how do you cool them? 🤔

I can’t even install the normal stuff that easily half the time. 😂

Oof… right in the Linux 😩

Make it two! Running syncthing in a container over here on Linux. Gonna keep it that way!

New to someone, I suppose 😉

I’m part of Linux User Space. We do history deep-dives and a whole lot of other Linux content. Most recently was Xz and LXDE/LXQt. We even have our own Lemmy instance :)

It should be possible to install the deb file onto Ubuntu…

But I don’t know if that means AMD64, too or just ARM64…

There are incremental updates each month it seems, but no word of a rewrite.

The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

*taps forehead*

If it does indeed drop on the 4th, they better lean into that marketing! 😂

I would hope so! Maybe they just unboxed it, so now we have ARM builds 😂

Ya know, that exact thought was in the back of my mind…

That sounds terrible. Does Win+Tab get you the preview? That would have probably been my first thought after the frustration set in.

Yep, but I left the Start button alone, myself. While I tend to prefer Linux, I still have to have Windows. 11 is mostly fine, but I think people have beef with it because lots of things changed, including the design, and people, for the most part, really hate change. Oh and the ads. Oh and Edge likes to pop up instead of your normal browser from time to time.

Such a bummer, but I suppose ARM devices are a fraction of an already small piece of Linux market share pie.
