Born too late to smoke in McDonald's 😔

The applications just run in the background the whole time. KDE was working on implementing UnifiedPush in Plasma but I don't know if it's already implemented or still in the works.

But the hydrogen also has to be transported, which produces CO2, you need containers for that that also produce CO2 when getting manufactured. I'm not saying it's more than with a battery but it could be. We'd need actual numbers to really know tho.

We even put extra water in our cat's food

No because what if Jay-Z offered me $500,000 to pet him?

If every app on your phone was constantly running and asking the server for new messages, it would drain a lot of battery. That's why phones instead use a single app that asks a notification server if any new notifications are there. The way it works is if you e.g. get a WhatsApp message, the WhatsApp server tells the notification server that you have a new message, then when the notification app asks that server for new messages, the server will tell it that there's a new WhatsApp notification. Then the notification app wakes up WhatsApp and tells it there's a new notification, then WhatsApp checks for new messages and shows you the notification.

Most apps use Apple's system (whatever it's called) on iOS or Google's Firebase on Android for that. There are also apps that let you use the open standard UnifiedPush, which let's you use any notification app or server you want.

I haven't gotten banned yet, at least. Even if I did, it wouldn't be a big loss. I'm definitely not gonna torrent without a vpn anyway.

So does a swap partition. I just meant that's an option as an alternative to it. But now that I think about it, not enough RAM wouldn't cause performance issues anyway, it would just cause random applications to stop working.

Wait, you can change the location of the Steam library?

How exactly is it spyware?

Or LibreTube

You can also just make a swap file, you won't have to make partition that way

I don't think pop is the most widely used genre on TikTok to begin with

AV1 is a good example of a non-proprietary protocol replacing proprietary protocols (h.264, h.265, ...)

I agree with the others that testing in a VM (Virtual Machine) first is probably a good idea. Keep in mind that because of missing 3D acceleration inside a VM things like desktop animations might not work.

As for distros, I'd recommend Mint or Fedora. I personally use Fedora.

What's also important is the desktop environment you choose. The most popular ones are GNOME and KDE Plasma. GNOME is closer to MacOS than Windows and is made to just work while KDE Plasma has a layout similar to Windows out of the box but is very customizable and has a lot of options. Ubuntu uses GNOME but they make quite a few changes to it. Fedora uses GNOME by default but there's also a KDE Plasma version, I think. Mint doesn't have these 2 by default, you can always install them if you want to afterwards tho. The 3 options Mint gives you are also more Windows-like but I haven't tried them myself, so I can't tell you much about them. A VM would give you the ability to just install them, try them out and delete them afterwards. I personally use GNOME btw.

I think I'm on a tracker with that rule too but I just ignore it. Not like they can tell.

Might be worth adding a section for web UIs that make managing certain things easier. For example, Cockpit or Nginx Proxy Manager.

I actually bought a similar one with the same CPU. You're not the first to recommend a mini PC with the N100, so it seems like it was the right choice haha.

I didn't plan on paying much more than 100€ because it's replacing my Pi but the one I bought can probably replace both my Pis. I just didn't think about selling the other Pi as well before.

I actually ordered something similar with the same CPU for 146€
