  • Maybe try something with openbox? Bunsenlabs linux is a good example of what you can do with a window manager. I run it on a pentium m laptop (1 core) with 2 gb of ram. It’d be doable. (It originally had one 1 gb and I don’t think I even enabled swap).

    Basically arch plus mimicking their UI would be a good starting point.

    Or just use bunsenlabs 32 bit if your software has 32 bit versions. It will be a bit lighter from a memory standpoint.









  • Since you do want to game, I’d recommend going with a computer with an amd DGPU. Nvidia is mostly fine from a driver standpoint. Also Nvidia does have cuda so you might actually want to get one with an Nvidia dgpu.

    Get something with an Intel wireless card, that’d be the best case scenario. I’ve had weird issues with both realtek and Broadcom. Lots of amd laptops come with mediatek based wireless cards, idk if they work well in Linux.

    Tbh I’d rec any laptop that fit your requirements and install your distro of choice. (bunsenlabs for me).


  • I’m going to make the argument from an Islamic standpoint mainly bc I am Muslim and have a background in it from both a religious and academic (it was one class at college but I learned a lot) side. Day of judgement is a thing, basically to get into heaven: pray to god, don’t be a shitty person.

    That being said, you can see shit like terrorist attacks that would convince you otherwise. Terrorist attacks are basically “martyrdom” (read: fanaticism) where fighting for a religion would “theoretically” bring you in the good graces of the things you believe in. In reality, they just murdered people because they thought they deserved it and it would punish the people who are doing it when in reality it doesn’t work like that.

    But the “don’t be a shitty person” is just an action, what’s the reasoning/intention behind it. Like you can do good things for society for a multitude of reasons, bc it is a good cause to contribute to society for, it will get you into heaven, fame, a diversion from something else etc. Religious people just have one extra reason to be a decent person.

    You don’t have to follow religion to be a “decent” person and religion doesn’t automatically make you a “decent person”. I’ve met wonderful people who were both religious and not, and shitty people who were religious and not religious.

    There’s a lot more to Islam that I don’t think I can unpack in a comment, and it’s tied to societal norms etc.

    All I can really ask of anyone is don’t be a shitty person.
