Eh, it's a tradeoff that I get in exchange of a longer microsd lifespan. Which I'm completely fine with.

Apparently pipx dislikes tmpfs partitions, so nah.

Just install it via pip and then symlink its binary file to /usr/bin.

t. Am running a live stream 24/7 on my orange pi zero 3 (via ffplay/yt-dlp) since forever.

"Why not simply add $HOME/.local/bin to $PATH?"

Because it breaks things. While symlinking it does not.

"Why?"

No idea, honestly.

Also, you can take a step further and make a tmpfs partition @ $HOME/.local and then add the following line to your .bash_profile file: TMPDIR=$HOME/.local pip install --break-system-packages -I --no-input yt-dlp &&.

It's like kissing that ugly girl in a party nobody wants to partake with -- it's useless and completely unnecessary... but oh boy it sure is fun!

Even a fish can act like a dog if you try harder enough.

Eh...

Ventoy (on a comically small external hd -- 8 GiB) and retrogaming/backup-related files on a 1 TB one.

Dietpi for me. It is meant for sbc's, but it can (also) be installed on x86 pcs. And its focus is on minimalism -- as much as possible.

For a second I thought it was "Road rash but with cars" until I realized that isn't possible at all -- specially on the sega genesis.

Looks comfy.

I've no idea, honestly. Does it gives me more free time to worry about more important stuff however that will (very likely) not be changed over time by money-hungry developers with false promises of unachievable anonymity and/or privacy in their applications? That I can guarantee a reasonable YES.

Use Dietpi as your main distro, do a minimal install, install sway and then your usual stuff.

t. Got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram, did exactly as my suggestion implies and everything works as intended.

This is why I don't care about privacy anymore and use whatever browser works better in my pc/sbc (brave) followed by a network ad-blocker solution (nextdns).

tl;dr: "Growing up sucks because it makes everything look the same old."

I mean... yeah. That is why you have to stop wishing for "the same old" over and over again and embrace the new. And yes, I (also) think DRM has no other purpose than to hinder performance.

t. am (also) a 80's "kid".

Even a potato can run linux if you try hard(er) enough.

I'm typing this from my orange pi zero 3 w/ dietpi installed... aaaaaaand I don't really "hate", but more like "not care about it anymore". Sure, its privacy concerns are truly a nightmare, but eh. It's good to have options, that's all. Even if one said "options" can be more harmful than good.

It may feel tasty and great today... but it (definitely) won't feel great as much in the future. Have some respect on yourself and drink something healthy instead -- there are better ways to have fun than that.

That aside, Debian can be very user friendly just like any other distro -- I say go for it.

Nah, that's a preconfigured distro.

Not really a "anti malware" per se, but you can always set up a separate linux device (like a orange pi zero 3) and set it up as a network ad blocker with nextdns (which apparently it can be (also) a "anti malware" -- which I haven't tested if it is legit or not, but eh.).

For me, arm has already "won" this debacle -- convenience > performance all day errday.

To use (and enjoy) Linux properly, you've got to "unlearn" several things including the bad habit of expect everything to "just werk". If you are expecting to "double click your cares away" on Linux, then it's (very) likely you'll be disappointed.

With that aside, your best bet is to go for Linux Mint and not Arch Linux.
