I don't understand the downvotes, I guess for some tasks you need almost equal CPU but you are right, as in, if your computing power isnt' being sucked by power hungry and resource hungry machine, you can do more with less.

Haha... that should be the logo of Linux, do more will less

thank you for your comment,

this is a big one too. I love the feel of using FOSS software!

amen wo/man! I love Linux alright, but for the first few years, it's a lot of effort. You do learn stuff alright, but yeah, the effort is high.

Many torrented apps : If you mean the *arrs etc, they go fine, better even (more contained, safer) in docker

yeah FOMO was there for a lil while only, do most apps run on docker/waydroid? just asking

I don't really care about MS Word, it would have been a good addition, but now I use Google suite (sorry libre)

Also, thank you for your reply! it's good

wait, you can run .exe files using docker? while being on linux?

I do need some apps alright. I mean, there are some apps on Windows for which we don't have a great replacement

1. Adobe
2. MS word (yeah, I don't like Libre and most of Libre Suit) it's not as good as MS suite, of c, but it's really bad.
3. Games ( a big one although steam is helping bridge the gap)
4. Many torrented apps, most of these are Windows specific and thus I won't have any luck installing them on Linux.

But yeah, I don't need Windows rn and even if I need it, I won't leave Linux

Yeah, I need new friends, I am gonna replace my best friend with you.

a quick question, how do you buy your laptop? I mean, do you buy it with DOS installed in it. I don't know which country you live in but, how do you get a laptop without paying the Windows Tax?

I am sorry, I know to buy the OS cd it costs money, but on a bulk it really doesn't cost that much. Or so I have learned. I mean, I have seen Laptops running DOS have roughly the same price as Windows PC. This only matters if you have want to go back to windows. Since almost all laptops come with Windows 11 these days, it really doesn't cost that much to have a Windows 11 laptop.

That's their age

I now know the cause of this. I have scrcpy, syncthing and KDE connect working in the background. So, if I upload something from one device to another, it gets treated as upload using data bandwidth and it gets counted, even if I am not uploading it to the internet.

The comparison is fair, but I thought vnstat only measured data bandwidth (i.e., which is used over the internet) but it's counting file sharing too. So, the measurements are haywire.

*Jesus does not approve of this

I didn't know that was religious?

it's fine. it was actuall installed by default, I though it didn't work which is why I tried to hunt for other packages, but now since it does, no probs. Thank you for all your help

ig you can do that, but now I don't need to. Thank you for your help anyways

this doesn't work for me. There is no config file in the folder. But there are some configure.ac configure.ac.in when I try to run them I get this error
