here’s another

Only 1 GiB of RAM? Moooom!
Shut up Johnny, Voyager’s still out there with way less.

I’d assume most smart kitchen appliances have NTP now?

I’d probably go with Mint XFCE or those listed, or you can search for distros that target older hardware. I’ll get back to yo on that.

Edit: so, @thatonecoder@lemmy.ca, my main search was focusing on minimal distros for old hardware (less that 1 GiB of RAM that support x86 (i.e. 32 bit)), these may fit the bill: Tiny Core, Puppy, Porteus, Absolute, antiX, Q4OS, Slax, Sparky, MX, Bohdi, Zorin Lite, Xubuntu, Archbang, Slitaz, DSL.
From here on we’re on “may need ≥ 1 GiB” territory: Lubuntu, Lite, MATE, Peppermint, LXLE, LMDE, bunsenlabs, Crunchbang++, EasyOS.

Again, my focus was on low RAM usage and preferably supporting x86. Most distros aren’t Wayland-ready yet, bare that in mind.
As most said, Mint with XFCE is a good start and most distros offer a “live” version you can boot to try without installing.

Reminds me of the 56K handshake.

Wrong target audience, Bob.

A few paragraphs would do wonders for the legibility of your post.

My concern is the likelyhood that companies using MS products will cut corners by using deprecated/unsupported OSs for years after the last security patch, which will lead to security breaches for many consumers.

That likelihood is high, real and current.

So long as they don’t conflate “Hamas” and “Palestinians”… which they will… so fuck’em.

Does it spy on you?

All new cars do and this one doesn’t even hide it, it’s called “id everyone”.

Ever been down the gemini rabbit hole? It’s not perfect, but quite interesting.

Bittwarden or KeyPassXC are good self-hosteable alternatives.

The only thing Proton has going for it that Tuta does not is the .onion site and even that constantly leaks to clearweb so fuck’em.

I buy i own i don’t care.

I blame thank Tarantino.

Surprised Pikachu face.

Uses sqlite as repo backend

And it’s used by the SQLite project.

GitHub is a company owned by Microsoft (in the USA). They allow you to host git repositories there (a git forge) and they use your code to train their AI.

GitLab is another git forge, you can also host your code there. I think it was also bought off.

Forgejo is git forge software. If you want to use a git forge that relies on Forgejo, checkout CodeBerg (based in Germany). Forgejo is a fork of Gitea, which is a fork of Gogs.

<rant> All of these tend to offer not only a git forge but also other crap like tickets and CI/CD in what i personally see as feature creep. </rant>

So Kobo and Calibre FTW.
